Abstract: A consistent theory of sandwich beams subjected to static load is presented. The theory is developed under the assumption that the Bernoulli’s hypothesis is valid for each lamina independently ...

Abstract: This paper considers influence of small geometrical imperfections, such as out-of-roundedness and eccentricity, on the magnitude of the added (apparent, virtual) mass for a rod vibrating in ...

Abstract: The semimembrane analysis of cylindrical cantilever shells (silos) is presented. In addition to the beam action, the method accounts for the influence of cross-sectional distortion also. The ...

Abstract: Paper concerns a specific problem in the study of dynamic response of rigid-plastic plates in contact with incompressible and inviscid fluid. The dynamic load is assumed to be of high intensity ...

Abstract: The paper proposes a geometrically consistent representation for the set of internal variables defining an arbitrary distribution of flat, planar microcracks. A special averaging procedure in ...

Abstract: The paper focuses on the derivation of the constitutive law for a material containing flat, planar microcracks. The damage law is derived from the dissipation potential in conjunction with the ...

Abstract: The objective of this study is to formulate a simple, rational model for estimates of the penetration depth of rigid long rods through materials susceptible to microcracking. The proposed is ...
