Abstract: Zener-Stroh crack is formed via coalescing dislocations piled up against an obstacle such as an interface of bimaterial. The crack is loaded by the total number of dislocations entered it, ...

Abstract: The two-dimensional contact problem for a semi-infinite anisotropic elastic media is reconsidered here by using the formalism of Es he I by et al. (1953) and Stroh (1958). The approach of ...

Abstract: The analysis of elastic, perfectly plastic compressible materials under the assumption of plane strain is a statically indeterminate problem. In the present paper, by introducing a perturbation ...

Abstract: Tie bars on through tied arch bridges are often in poor condition and may serve as an external cause of a tie-bar failure accident; nevertheless, bridge structural robustness contributes greatly in resisting progressive ...

Abstract: Compared with those of other bridge types, the structural system of through tied-arch bridges is particularly susceptible to failure owing to the deterioration and fracturing of tie-bars as well as a lack of structural ...

Abstract: Pile-soil interaction in an expansive soil foundation has been primarily analyzed by an analytical solution in our previous study. As a complementary work, this paper briefly reviews the derivation process in more detail ...
