Abstract: This analysis considers the interaction between a penny-shaped crack or a circular external crack and a mode I “opening” point dislocation. The dislocation is taken to lie on the plane of the ...

Abstract: This paper considers point force or point moment loading applied to the surface of a three-dimensional wedge. The wedge is two-dimensional in geometry but the loading may vary in a direction ...

Abstract: This paper gives closed-form expressions in terms of elementary functions for the title problem of spherical Hertzian contact of elastic bodies possessing transverse isotropy. Traction in the ...

Abstract: This analysis considers a circular crack system containing a penny-shaped crack and a concentric, coplanar external circular crack under arbitrary normal loading in a transversely isotropic body. ...

Abstract: Closed-form expressions in terms of elementary functions are derived for the elastic field resulting from spherical Hertz contact of isotropic bodies. Shear traction is also included using a ...

Abstract: This analysis presents the elastic field in a half-space caused by an ellipsoidal variation of normal traction on the surface. Coulomb friction is assumed and thus the shear traction on the ...

Abstract: This paper evaluates the elastic field in a transversely isotropic half-space caused by a circular flat bonded punch under torsion loading. The elastic field is found by integrating the point ...

Abstract: The canonical problems of rapid indentation by, respectively, a rigid smooth wedge and a rigid smooth cylinder, are examined for a transversely isotropic or orthotropic half-space in plane strain. ...

Abstract: The penetration through a two-phase boundary by a biplanar (kinked) crack of arbitrary shape is considered in this paper. The two-phase boundary is modeled as the interface between two ...
