Abstract: This study aims at determining the elastic stress and displacement fields around a crack in a microstructured body under a remotely applied loading of the antiplane shear (mode III) type. The ...

Abstract: The two-dimensional steady-state analysis of rapidly moving mechanical sources over the insulated surface of a thermoelastic half-space is extended by allowing surface heat convection. An exact ...

Abstract: An asymptotic solution within the bounds of steady-state coupled thermoelastodynamic theory is given for the surface displacement and temperature due to a line mechanical/heat source that moves ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional transient thermoelastic solution is obtained for Rayleigh-type disturbances propagating on the surface of a half-space. These surface waves are generated by either a buried or ...

Abstract: The canonical problems of rapid indentation by, respectively, a rigid smooth wedge and a rigid smooth cylinder, are examined for a transversely isotropic or orthotropic half-space in plane strain. ...
