Abstract: The stress distribution in a plane scarf joint, which may have an arbitrary angle of scarf as well as arbitrary elastic parameters for its adherends and adhesive, is analyzed. The analysis ...

Abstract: Because of the technical importance and difficulty of the analysis, the present problem has been treated, as seen in the literature, by a number of authors. In the current paper a unified ...

Abstract: Near or partial contact sliders are designed for the areal recording density of 1 Tbit/in.2 or even higher in hard disk drives. The bouncing vibration of an air bearing-slider in near or ...

Abstract: In this paper, we consider the stress distribution in adhesive‐bonded, single‐lap joints under tension, for which the two adherends could have different thicknesses and lengths and consist of different materials. Hence, ...
