Abstract: Indentation and cutting experiments in rocks reveal that the action of a tool can induce either ductile and/or brittle failure, with the ductile mode associated with damage of the rock and/or plastic flow, and the brittle ...

Abstract: The mode I and II stress intensity factors in a fully anisotropic infinite strip with a single-edge or double-edge crack configuration are obtained from an approach based on the continuous ...

Abstract: This paper presents an elastic post-buckling analysis of an axially loaded beam-plate with two central across-the-width delaminations located at arbitrary depths. The analysis is based on the ...
