Abstract: The interaction of time harmonic elastic waves with an edge crack in a plate is studied. The crack is assumed to be normal to the plate surface and its depth small compared to plate ...

Abstract: The surface response of an infinite, homogeneous elastic plate to an internal dislocation across an infinitestimal area is investigated. As a companion problem, the normal displacement of the ...

Abstract: A composite consisting of a homogeneous isotropic elastic matrix containing infinitely long parallel circular cylinders is considered. The cylindrical fibers have identical physical properties and ...

Abstract: The general problem of plane anisotropic elastostatics is formulated in terms of a system of singular integral equations with Cauchy kernels by means of the classical stress function approach. ...

Abstract: The diffraction of time harmonic antiplane shear waves by an edge crack normal to the free surface of a homogeneous half space is considered. The problem is formulated in terms of a singular ...
