Abstract: The analytical treatment of normal, rocking, and torsional forced time-harmonic vibrations of a rigid circular disk in a transversely isotropic full-space is revisited. A complete discussion on frequently used contact ...

Abstract: A horizontally multilayered Green elastic transversely isotropic halfspace is considered as the domain of the boundary value problem involved in this paper, such that the axes of material symmetry of different layers are ...

Abstract: In this paper, a complete elastodynamic solution for axisymmetric problems under axial body-forces in terms of two retarded potential functions in transversely isotropic media is extended to the ...

Abstract: A complete set of potential functions consisting of three scalar functions is presented for coupled displacementtemperature equations of motion and heat equation for an arbitrary x3convex domain containing a linear ...

Abstract: A theoretical investigation is presented for the dynamic interaction of a rigid circular disc and its surrounding space, which is a trimaterial transversely isotropic full-space, and the disc is undergoing a prescribed ...

Abstract: The strength characteristics of bolts under ambient and fire conditions are among the major factors affecting the performance of bolted connections in steel structures. At present, the evaluation of fire resistance of steel ...

Abstract: Cross-property relations are established in this paper between transport and mechanical properties of two-phase composite materials. In particular, the cross-property relations among the effective thermal conductivity (or ...

Abstract: Trajectory planning and an efficient control scheme play a crucial role in improving the performance of pick-and-place robots. This paper introduces a novel method of trajectory planning with cycle time and path constraints. ...

Abstract: In this paper, the response of a transversely isotropic half-space under the punch action of a set of rigid concentric annuli frictionless contacts is considered. By virtue of a compact potential ...

Abstract: The axisymmetric problem of a concentric set of energetically consistent annular and penny-shaped cracks in an infinite piezoelectric body subjected to uniform far-field electromechanical loading ...
