Abstract: A semi‐infinite plate, of which a part on the boundary is rigidly stiffened and in which a crack initiates from an end of the stiffened edge as a problem of a mixed boundary value of thin plate bending, is analyzed. The ...

Abstract: An exact elasticity solution is developed for a radially nonhomogeneous hollow circular cylinder of exponential Young’s modulus and constant Poisson’s ratio. In the solution, the cylinder is first ...

Abstract: The problem of thin plate bending of two bonded half-planes with an elliptical hole on the interface and interface cracks on its both sides is presented. A uniformly distributed bending moment ...

Abstract: A circular rigid punch with friction is assumed to contact with a half-plane with one end sliding on the half-plane and another end with a sharp corner. The contact length is determined by ...

Abstract: Harmonic and transient torsional responses of a laminated circular disc (or a laminated circular cylinder), caused by torques applied on both ends of the disc, is investigated with use of a ...

Abstract: This paper deals with dynamical systems including spatially localized nonlinear substructures. In these cases, the differential equations of motion consist of the coupled linear and nonlinear ...

Abstract: A finite element method, which is based on the variational inequality approach, is introduced to calculate the oil film pressure distribution of a journal bearing. The cavitation zone is found ...

Abstract: The plane thermoelastic problems of a stationary heat source in an infinite plane with an elliptic rigid inclusion and an elliptic hole are analyzed under thermally adiabatic and isothermal boundary conditions. The problems ...

Abstract: The relation between the stress intensity of the corner with an arbitrary angle and the stress concentration factor is investigated. In the thin plate bending problem and the plane elastic problem, the relation is concerned ...
