Abstract: The contact of coated systems under sliding conditions is considered within the framework of elasticity theory with the assumption of perfect bond between coating and substrate. Formulation is ...

Abstract: In this paper, the mechanics of a semi-infinite crack interacting with near crack-tip singularities (e.g., dislocations) in two-dimensional solids is investigated using the concept of potential ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the variance-constrained controller design problem for a class of uncertain nonlinear stochastic systems with possible actuator faults. The stochastic nonlinearities ...

Abstract: The mechanics of frictional attachment between surfaces with pillars, inspired by the head fixation system of dragonflies, is analyzed. The system consists of two surfaces of interdigitating ...
