Abstract: This paper deals with the concentrated force in a disk which is embedded in an unbounded elastic plane with different properties. The disk with its edge free of tractions and subjected to ...

Abstract: The problem treated is that of a plate of unlimited extent containing a circular insert and subjected to a concentrated radial force in the plane of the plate. The elastic properties of the ...

Abstract: The dependence of stresses on the elastic constants is explored in frictionless contact problems principally for the case when the contacting bodies are made of the same material and the ...

Abstract: The problem treated is that of a plate of unlimited extent containing a circular insert and subjected to a concentrated force in the plane of the plate and in a direction tangential to the ...

Abstract: A bonded interface between two solids which have an appropriate mismatch in their mechanical properties can support Stoneley waves. The question investigated is whether an unbonded interface, ...

Abstract: The effect of separation on the reflection and refraction of elastic waves by a unilateral interface was investigated before. It was found that no bounded solutions exist in a certain range ...

Abstract: The paper investigates possible interface waves between two solids in presence of separation and frictional slip and examines the effect of the waves on the sliding motion of the bodies. It ...
