Abstract: The paper presents the application of a boundary element scheme to the study of the behavior of a penny-shaped matrix crack which occurs at an isolated fiber which is frictionally constrained. ...

Abstract: This article examines the problem of an isotropic elastic half‐space region that is reinforced with a rigid disc‐shape inhomogeneity and subjected to a uniform surface load of finite extent. The analysis of the axisymmetric ...

Abstract: The intake shape factors for spherical and disc-shaped entry points located within a hydraulically transversely isotropic porous medium of infinite extent are presented in

Abstract: The present paper examines the problem of a flat circular anchoring region that is embedded at an elastic medium‐rigid surface interface. The compliance of the anchor is enhanced by the presence of a debonded region. The ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the development of a mapped‐type compositeinfinite element for modeling the response of unbounded saturated‐soil media. The coordinate ascent mapping technique that uses conventional shape functions ...

Abstract: Micromechanical modeling is an important aspect in the study of fiber-reinforced composites. In such studies, an important class of structural parameters is formed by the interaction between the ...

Abstract: A fragmentation test has been developed for the study of the influence of the adhesive characteristics of the interface between reinforcing fibers and the matrix on the development of matrix ...

Abstract: This paper examines the problem of the flexural interaction between a long‐distance buried pipeline embedded in a soil medium that experiences differential frost heave. The modeling takes into consideration the interaction ...
