Abstract: Stress distributions are evaluated for a semi-infinite elastic body having a spheroidal inhomogeneity under an all-around tension (axisymmetric uniform tension) at infinity. Boussinesq’s potential ...

Abstract: The paper analyzes thermal stresses and effective thermal expansion coefficients of the composites in which the fiber-matrix interface is allowed to slip. Thermal stresses are evaluated by ...

Abstract: We find the elastic fields in a half-space (matrix) having a spherical inclusion and subjected to either a remote shear stress parallel to its traction-free boundary or to a uniform shear ...

Abstract: A series solution is presented for a hemispheroidal elastic inhomogeneity at the free surface of an elastic half space. The loading is either all around tension at infinity, perpendicular to ...

Abstract: The paper analyzes the elastic fields caused by an elliptic inclusion which undergoes a uniform expansion. The interface between the inclusion and the matrix cannot sustain shear tractions and ...
