Abstract: A simple non-local modified beam model is presented to evaluate interfacial thermal stresses in bimaterial elastic beams. The model has its root in an earlier model (Suhir 1986) which assumes ...

Abstract: Despite extensive study of the Eshelby problem for inclusions of simple shape, little effort has been made to inclusions of arbitrary shape. In this paper, with aid of the techniques of ...

Abstract: Professor Ting’s paper (1) clearly clarifies several simple but important concepts on conformal mapping techniques applied to anisotropic plane elasticity. Here, I would like to add my own ...

Abstract: This paper studies surface instability of a compliant elastic thin film on a rigid substrate interacting with a suspended elastic plate through van der Waals forces. The analysis is based on ...

Abstract: Thermal mismatch induced residual stresses are identified as one of the major causes of voiding and failure of some critical components in electronic packaging, such as passivated interconnect ...

Abstract: A general method is presented to obtain the rigorous solution for a circular inclusion embedded within an infinite matrix with a circumferentially inhomogeneous sliding interface in plane ...

Abstract: Short carbon nanotubes of smaller aspect ratio (say, between 10 and 50) are finding significant application in nanotechnology. This paper studies vibration of such short carbon nanotubes whose ...

Abstract: We investigate the classic (inverse) problem concerned with the design of so-called harmonic shapes for an elastic material undergoing finite plane deformations. In particular, we show how to ...

Abstract: This paper examines applicability and limitations of simplified models of elastic cylindrical shells for carbon nanotubes. The simplified models examined here include Donnell equations and simplified ...
