Abstract: In this study the problem of part-through cracks emanating from a central notch in a composite laminate is considered. The composite laminate is modeled as an orthotropic plate and along the ...

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: The plane elastostatic problem of internal and edge cracks in an infinite orthotropic strip is considered. The problems for the material types I and II are formulated in terms of singular ...

Abstract: In this paper the line-spring model developed by Rice and Levy is used to obtain an approximate solution for a cylindrical shell containing a part-through surface crack. It is assumed that ...

Abstract: Recent investigations of bubbly cavitating nozzle flows using the polytropic law for the partial gas pressure have shown flow instabilities that lead to flashing flow solutions. Here, we investigate ...

Abstract: In this paper the crack problem for two bonded dissimilar homogeneous elastic half-planes is considered. It is assumed that the interfacial region can be modeled by a very thin layer of ...

Abstract: In this paper the plane elasticity problem for a nonhomogeneous medium containing a crack is considered. It is assumed that the Poisson’s ratio of the medium is constant and the Young’s modulus ...

Abstract: The paper deals with the problem of ductile fracture of a pipe or cylindrical container having a relatively long and deep circumferential part-through crack or a through crack and subjected ...

Abstract: Novel hybrid-matrix composites with alternating metallic matrices of different plastic flow resistance offer excellent potential for a superior strength and toughness combination than traditional ...

Abstract: The elastostatic problem for an infinite orthotropic strip containing a crack is considered. It is assumed that the orthogonal axes of material orthotropy may have an arbitrary angular orientation ...
