Abstract: A method is presented for the solution of frictionless contact problems on multilayered half-planes consisting of an arbitrary number of isotropic, orthotropic, or monoclinic layers arranged in ...

Abstract: In Part I of this paper, analytical development of a method was presented for the solution of frictionless contact problems of multilayered half-planes consisting of an arbitrary number of ...

Abstract: An elastic potential is proposed that is capable of modeling the reversible portion of the observed nonlinear response of unidirectional graphite fiber composites. The model includes both the ...

Abstract: A new micromechanics model is presented which is capable of accurately estimating both the effective elastic constants of a periodic multiphase composite and the local stress and strain fields ...

Abstract: The nonlinear response of laminated, resin matrix fibrous composites is modeled using orthotropic endochronic theory. The theory is formulated in terms of elastic constants and endochronic parameters ...

Abstract: An exact elastic-plastic analytical solution for an arbitrarily laminated metal matrix composite tube subjected to axisymmetric thermo-mechanical and torsional loading is presented. First, exact ...

Abstract: Part I (Salzar et al, 1996) of the paper presented an exact elastic-plastic analytical solution for an arbitrarily laminated metal matrix composite tube subjected to axisymmetric thermo-mechanical ...
