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 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: 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: 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: A theoretical formulation is presented for the determination of the displacements, strains, and stresses in a three-dimensional transversely isotropic linearly elastic medium. By means of a complete representation using ...

Abstract: A new theory of composite damage mechanics is developed. A material with damage is considered as a composite comprised of two different phases (called matrix and inclusion). Both phases are linearly elastic isotropic ...

Abstract: Moisture diffusivity of saturated concrete varies with decreasing temperature. The variation depends on the amount of ice formed in pores and on the extent of the damage induced by the formation of ice. Ice crystals in the ...

Abstract: Vertical vibration of a rigid circular disc attached to the surface of a transversely isotropic half-space is considered in such a way that the axis of material symmetry is normal to the surface of the half-space and ...

Abstract: A linear thermoelastic isotropic material is considered. A complete solution in terms of three scalar potential functions for the coupled displacement-temperature equations of motion and heat equation is presented, where ...

Abstract: With the aid of a new complete scalar potential function, an analytical formulation for thermoelastic Green's functions of an axisymmetric linear elastic isotropic half-space is presented within the theory of Biot's coupled ...
