Abstract: The solution of the problem of a thin circular disk rotating at a constant angular velocity about its axis is obtained as a formal power series of the thickness-diameter ratio. The matching ...

Abstract: The observational method was used to design and construct an embankment over a deposit of soft sludge. The first part of the paper describes the case history of the project. The second part describes the use of analytical ...

Abstract: Thermal stress is a significant contributor to a component’s failure during manufacturing processes. In the electronic industry, for example, it is very common that components experience an ...

Abstract: We consider the problem of determining that shape of circular arch which has the largest critical buckling pressure of all circular arches of given radius, central angle, and volume. The problem ...

Abstract: This paper describes axial compression test results of 27 concrete cylinders confined by carbon fiber reinforced polymer composite jackets. The experimental parameters include plain concrete compressive strength and the ...

Abstract: A simplified airfoil mapping is used to define a cuspidal crack. The objective is to investigate the effects of compressive loads on an infinite solid containing crack-like flaws. Such an ...

Abstract: The meaning of the word crack is extended to include holes with cusps of vanishing cusp angle. A crack is said to be simple if the associated elasticity problem has a closed-form solution. ...

Abstract: The composite mapping function of successive mappings by rational functions is rational but may have poles at more than one location. This method may be exploited to generate many, many new ...

Abstract: The title problem is studied for the cases: (1) crack-perpendicular tension and crack-parallel shear, (2) plane biaxial load, (3) crack-parallel shear and antiplane shear, and (4) unidirectional ...
