Abstract: In this paper, a complete elastodynamic solution for axisymmetric problems under axial body-forces in terms of two retarded potential functions in transversely isotropic media is extended to the ...

Abstract: A theoretical investigation is presented for the dynamic interaction of a rigid circular disc and its surrounding space, which is a trimaterial transversely isotropic full-space, and the disc is undergoing a prescribed ...

Abstract: In this paper, the response of a transversely isotropic half-space under the punch action of a set of rigid concentric annuli frictionless contacts is considered. By virtue of a compact potential ...

Abstract: A theoretical formulation is presented for the determination of the displacements, strains, and stresses in a three-dimensional transversely isotropic linearly elastic medium. By means of a complete representation using ...

Abstract: A new theory of composite damage mechanics is developed. A material with damage is considered as a composite comprised of two different phases (called matrix and inclusion). Both phases are linearly elastic isotropic ...

Abstract: Vertical vibration of a rigid circular disc attached to the surface of a transversely isotropic half-space is considered in such a way that the axis of material symmetry is normal to the surface of the half-space and ...
