Abstract: Contacts involving partial slip are commonly found at the interfaces formed by mechanical components. However, most theoretical investigations of partial slip are limited to homogeneous materials. This work proposes a novel ...

Abstract: The plastic zone developed during elastoplastic contact may be effectively modeled as an inclusion in an isotropic half space. This paper proposes a simple but efficient computational method to analyze the stresses caused ...

Abstract: The present work proposes a new efficient numerical solution method based on Eshelby's equivalent inclusion method (EIM) to study the influence of distributed inhomogeneities on the contact of inhomogeneous materials. ...

Abstract: In a companion paper,ff2 we have obtained the closed-form solutions to the stress and strain fields of a two-dimensional Eshelby inclusion. The current work is concerned with the complementary formulation of the displacement. ...

Abstract: The celebrated solution of the Eshelby ellipsoidal inclusion has laid the cornerstone for many fundamental aspects of micromechanics. A well-known difficulty of this classical solution is to determine the elastic field ...

Abstract: Thermal inclusion in an elastic half-space is a classical micromechanical model for describing localized heating near a surface. This paper presents explicit analytical solutions for the complete elastic fields, including ...
