Abstract: The inability of the Coulomb-Mohr theory of fracture to explain the main features of compression, tension, and torsion tests on brittle materials is pointed out. It is shown that the introduction ...

Abstract: It is shown that lateral pressure, axial force, and radial interference all may be treated by a uniform procedure, when a moderately narrow ring is shrunk onto a uniformly loaded thin-walled ...

Abstract: The dynamics of a widely used class of hammer impact machines are investigated on the basis of a two-degree-of-freedom idealization. The difficulty in the problem is due to the repetitive ...

Abstract: A general method for the numerical analysis of frictionless nonconformable non-Hertzian contact of bodies of arbitrary shape is developed. Numerical difficulties arise because the solution is ...
