The following provides corrections to typo errors in [1]. Equation (5) does
not contain h in the denominator, and should be written as

X 2 sin(pn x )
GI (x, z|x , z ) = sinh(n (h z )) sin(pn x) sinh(n z)
n
dDn sinh(n h)

X 2 sin(pn x )
GII (x, z|x , z ) = sinh(n z ) sin(pn x) sinh(n (h z)) (5)
n
dDn sinh(n h)

Similarly, Eq. (14) in [1] is

X 2 sin(pn x )
GI (x, z|x , z ) = sinh(n (h z )) sin(pn x) sinh(n z)
n
dn sinh(n h)

X 2 sin(pn x )
GII (x, z|x , z ) = sinh(n z ) sin(pn x) sinh(n (h z)) (14)
n
dn sinh(n h)

Moreover, the last term in Eq. (7) should be positive,

X 2 sin(pn x )
Q(x , z ) =
n
d sinh(n h)

pn
[sinh(n (h z ))(cosh(n z ) 1)
2n
+ sinh(n z )(cosh(n (h z )) 1)]

sinh(n z )
+ (7)
pn
On page 1225, Eq. (18) in [1] should be written as
sinh(z)
Q(z ) = (18)
sinh(h)
and hence, Eq. (19) and (20) is
sinh((z z))
Qt = (19)
sinh(h)
sinh((z + z))
Qb = (20)
sinh(h)

All the rest of the paragraphs in [1] remains accurate.
There are also some typo errors in the appendix of [1]. The x term in Eq.
(A14) and (A15) should be replaced by x . And the denominator from Eq.
(A15) onwards should not contain h. Hence, Eq. (A14) should be written as
 z +
d dgn sin(pn x )
= (14)
2 dz z D

Eq. (A15) is
2 sin(pn x )
En = (15)
dDn sinh(n h)
with this, Eq. (A16) which is the same as Eq. (5) must be written as

X 2 sin(pn x )
GI (x, z|x , z ) = sinh(n (h z )) sin(pn x) sinh(n z)
n
dDn sinh(n h)

X 2 sin(pn x )
GII (x, z|x , z ) = sinh(n z ) sin(pn x) sinh(n (h z))
n
dDn sinh(n h)
(16)
