... Buckling of Bar Composed of Thin Wails"; "The Strain Energy Expressed for Thin Cylincirical Shells"; "Response of ElastoPlastic Structures to Transient Loads"; "Surface Waves in an Elastic Half-Space"; "Moving Step Load on the Surface on a Half Space of Granular Material"; and "Use of Nonassociated Flow Rule for Problems of Elasto-Plastic Wave Propagation." His technical reports dealt with the gamut of those applied mechanics problems that are of practical significance in the field of dynamics and, particularly, in the interactions between fluids and elastic and plastic bodies. Of special note is that in 1932 he was the first scientist to use shakedown theory.
