Abstract: The present paper explores the Airy stress function for a general class of elastic dislocation problems in a doubly connected region. The basic concept of the elastic theory and the dislocation ...

Abstract: This investigation considers the thermo-mechanical effects of an asperity traversing at a high speed over a semi-infinite medium with a thin, hard coated surface. The general analytical solution ...

Abstract: The present paper discussed the critical depth, i.e., the depth at which the thermal tensile stress reaches a maximum, caused by the frictional excitation of a fast moving asperity. In the ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the problem of an asperity-excited thermo-mechanical field in a medium with a thin surface layer and a near surface void defect. The solutions for the temperature ...

Abstract: The present paper investigates the random temperature response of a coated medium subjected to a fast moving asperity, taking into consideration the randomness of coating thickness. While the ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the temperature distribution and the stress state in the vicinity of a near-surface rectangular cavity. They occur when the solid is subjected to the Coulomb frictional ...

Abstract: The present paper used the modal frequency method to diagnose the fracture damage experimentally in simple structures, based on the analytical theory of the spring-loaded “fracture-hinge.” It is ...

Abstract: Moiré fringe equations are developed for directly determining the components of Green’s and Conchy’s deformation tensors from fringe pitch and angle measurements. The equations are derived using ...

Abstract: In certain fast-reactor designs, the core is an assemblage of a large number of containers of long, hexagonal, hollow cylinders mounted vertically. These so-called “hex-cans” sit individually on ...
