Abstract: The steady-state problem of scattering of an incident Rayleigh wave by an elastic wedge whose angle is greater than 180 degrees is considered. The problem is reduced to the numerical solution ...

Abstract: We show that surface waves can be guided on the exterior of an isotropic elastic bar with a rectangular cross section. We assume that the dimensionless wavenumber is sufficiently large that ...

Abstract: For the two-dimensional problem of elastodynamic diffraction of waves by a crack of finite width, we assume that the solution corresponding to incidence of a plane wave of either longitudinal ...

Abstract: We study the two-dimensional, steady-state problem of the scattering of waves in a homogeneous, isotropic, linear-elastic quarter space. We derive decoupled equations for the Fourier transforms ...

Abstract: The correct formulation of the interface crack must incorporate contact between the crack faces, because the tips of an interface crack are closed for all applied loads. A numerical solution ...

Abstract: The interface crack subjected to a combined tension-compression and shear loading is considered in the Comninou formulation, which by properly incorporating contact zones at the crack tips avoids ...

Abstract: There is a class of problems involving frictional contact for which a steady state of slip is possible under moving loads as, for instance, when a tire is press-fitted on a wheel, and loaded ...

Abstract: Elastodynamic stress-intensity factors accompanying the three-dimensional steady-state elastodynamic response of an unbounded solid containing a semi-infinite crack, are investigated in this paper. ...

Abstract: Elastodynamic stress-intensity factors generated by the interaction of wave motions with a crack are analyzed. It is shown that in an asymptotic approximation, which is valid for high frequencies, ...
