Abstract: The plane traction problem for an anisotropic wedge is solved within the theory of linear elastostatics. The technique employs the complex function representation of the plane solution in ...

Abstract: The plane problem of a crack that terminates at the interface of a bimaterial composite and is loaded on its faces is treated within the two-dimensional theory of elastostatics. The emphasis ...

Abstract: The elastostatic problem of two materially dissimilar wedges of arbitrary angles that are bonded together along a common edge and subjected to surface tractions on the boundary of the configuration ...

Abstract: The problem is reduced to a system of two singular integral equations for determining the interface slope and shear stress. The dominant part of the system is analyzed to determine the order ...

Abstract: A stress field σij (χ, t) depending on position χ and time t will be called separable if the time-dependence enters only through a scalar multiplier; i. e., if σij(χ, t)=s(χ, t)σ̂ij(χ). It ...

Abstract: The linearized form of the inviscid, one-dimensional Cosserat jet equations derived by Green [6] are used to study wave propagation in a circular jet with surface tension. The frequency spectra ...

Abstract: Scanning Tunneling Microscopy is used to modify and measure the surface of magnetic media disks. A very rugged diamond tip allows continued scanning after it has severely scratched or punched ...

Abstract: This axisymmetric contact problem is solved using Kirchhoff-Love thin shell theory for a mandrel with a gap and for a plug, either of arbitrary length. The limiting case of a very long gap ...

Abstract: The problem of a cracked sphere is solved with the use of Boussinesq stress functions. Two coordinate systems—oblate spheroidal for representing the crack surface and spherical polars for the ...
