Abstract: The plane elastic deformation of a notched half-plane which is compressed by a flat rigid surface is investigated. The stress and displacement fields of this notched halfplane are felt to be ...

Abstract: In this paper we consider the coupled electromechanical responses of poled ferroelectric ceramics. Our considerations are linear as well as one dimensional. The constitutive relations which ...

Abstract: We developed models for the dynamic expansion of cylindrical cavities from zero initial radii for compressible, elastic-plastic, rate-independent materials with powerlaw strain-hardening. Results ...

Abstract: In this paper we consider the propagation of small-amplitude, one-dimensional shock waves in a linear elastic mixture with binary chemical reactions. The effects of heat conduction and diffusion ...

Abstract: We developed models for the dynamic expansion of spherical cavities from zero initial radii for elastic-plastic, rate-independent materials with power-law strain hardening. The models considered ...

Abstract: This work provides a theoretical analysis of the elastic behavior of an O-ring compressed between two rigid plates with irregular surfaces. Relations between deflection, contact force and contact ...
