Abstract: Solid and hollow cylinders of Pyrex glass were twisted under hydrostatic pressure up to 1000 kg/cm2 . The torsional strength of specimens coated with thin rubber films was increased by superposed ...

Abstract: It is shown that the energy-release rates associated with the translation, rotation, self-similar expansion and distortion of the fracture process region are expressed by the newly introduced ...

Abstract: In the field of rotor dynamics, increased attention is being given to the transient response analysis of the rotor, since the effects of impact loading and vibrations of the rotor arising ...

Abstract: A computational method using the path (area)-independent Ĵ-integral is developed to analyze viscoelastic problems. Since the displacement field near the crack tip of a viscoelastic solid is ...

Abstract: The J-integral has been used as a fracture criterion for elastic-plastic behavior of metals. It may be pertinent to use the JIc concept for design or nondestructive inspection of rotating disks ...

Abstract: The fracture of rotating disks that have cracks and/or notches is predicted employing the crack instability criterion based on the J-integral R-curve approach characterizing a material resistance ...
