Abstract: The plane elasticity problem of two semi-infinite bimaterial strips, that undergo constant temperature change, is considered. Following Bogy (1968), we use Airy stress function method, Mellin ...

Abstract: The paper analyzes thermal stresses and effective thermal expansion coefficients of the composites in which the fiber-matrix interface is allowed to slip. Thermal stresses are evaluated by ...

Abstract: We find the elastic fields in a half-space (matrix) having a spherical inclusion and subjected to either a remote shear stress parallel to its traction-free boundary or to a uniform shear ...

Abstract: We consider an elastic circular inclusion embedded in a half-plane and subjected to uniform transformation strains (eigenstrains). The inclusion-matrix interface is either perfectly bonded or is allowed to slip without ...

Abstract: We study the effective moduli and damage formation in out-of-plane elasticity (i.e., two-dimensional conductivity) of matrix-inclusion composite materials with either randomly or periodically distributed ...
