Abstract: A large deflection theory of axially symmetric and thin plates made of the Mooney-Rivlin material is developed by making a systematic and consistent approximation from the exact three-dimensional ...

Abstract: The bending of a clamped circular plate containing a surface crack along its edge is discussed. An approximate method of solution, which is based on the classical plate theory, is proposed ...

Abstract: The stress intensity factor K1 along the front edge of a growing small crack in a silica optical fiber was evaluated by 3-D boundary element analysis based on the crack geometry observed ...

Abstract: Since IC packages have been made thinner and smaller, the delamination and crack, which may be induced in the soldering process, have become important factors affecting the reliability of the ...

Abstract: The fracture mechanics study of the problem for a fluid-filled cracklike reservoir is made by including the thermoelastic effect. A two-dimensional crack is considered as a model of the vertical ...

Abstract: The paper is concerned with the forced vibration of a read/write head floppy disk system subjected to axial excitation. The solution is obtained by applying the modal expansion method together ...

Abstract: Analytical and numerical investigations into the dynamics and control of dive-plane dynamics of supercavitating vehicles are presented. Dominant nonlinearities associated with planing forces are ...

Abstract: The theoretical analysis of a penny-shaped geothermal reservoir in the earth’s crust subject to linear tectonic stress gradients has been made on the basis of the three-dimensional theory of ...

Abstract: A general consistent thermodynamic framework for small strain thermoviscoplastic deformations of face-centered cubic (FCC) metals is presented in this study. An appropriate and consistent Helmholtz free energy definition ...

Abstract: In order to enhance the sensitivity of the d-c potential drop technique, the principle of a technique using the closely coupled probes is proposed. A calibration equation for this technique ...
