Abstract: Elastic analysis of two parallel fibers in an infinite matrix subjected to longitudinal shear leads to some exact results for stress concentrations between the fibers. High shear stresses occur ...

Abstract: The dynamics of a damper that has been used to eliminate the free precession of flying, spinning objects are analyzed. There are three regimes in which the details of the mechanisms by which ...

Abstract: The response to low-frequency periodic plane incident waves of a harbor connected by a narrow channel to the open sea is studied using linearized, constant depth, shallow water wave theory. ...

Abstract: The description of even the gross features of the response to an incident stress pulse of an infinite elastic solid with a hole or obstruction requires very extensive calculations [1]. On the ...
