Abstract: The general problem of two semi-infinite elastic media with different properties bonded to each other along a plane and containing a series of concentric ring-shaped flat cavities is considered. ...

Abstract: The problem of slow crack growth under residual stresses and externally applied loads in plates is considered. Even though the technique developed to treat the problem is quite general, in the ...

Abstract: The main objective of this paper is the investigation of the singular nature of the crack-tip stress field in a nonhomogeneous medium having a shear modulus with a discontinuous derivative. ...

Abstract: The problem of two bonded dissimilar semi-infinite planes containing cracks along the bond is reconsidered. The external loads considered include the tractions on the crack surfaces, in-plane ...

Abstract: In this paper an adhesively bonded lap joint is analyzed by assuming that the adherends are elastic and the adhesive is linearly viscoelastic. After formulating the general problem a specific ...

Abstract: An earlier study of fatigue crack propagation in thin plates under fluctuating plane extension and cylindrical bending is extended to include the effect of nonzero mean stress. The theoretical ...

Abstract: The plane problem for an infinite strip with two edge cracks under a given state of residual stress is considered. The residual stress is compressive near and at the surfaces and tensile in ...

Abstract: In this paper, the transient thermal stress problem in a hollow cylinder or a disk containing a radial crack is considered. It is assumed that the cylinder is reinforced on its inner boundary ...

Abstract: The axially symmetric problem of an infinite elastic fiber embedded into an infinite matrix of different thermomechanical properties is considered. It is assumed that the composite contains ...
