Abstract: We propose a model where a lattice structure is used within an interface layer of finite thickness. An evolution problem is set and studied to analyze the structural changes within the interface ...

Abstract: A two-dimensional asymptotic solution is presented for determination of the trajectory of a crack propagating in a brittle-elastic, isotropic medium containing small defects. Brittleness of the ...

Abstract: A method for analyzing problems involving defects in lattices is presented. Special attention is paid to problems in which the lattice containing the defect is infinite, and the response in a ...

Abstract: Propagation of elastic waves in an infinite elastic medium containing a finite array of circular cylindrical cavities is considered. It is assumed that the cavities are equally spaced within ...
