Abstract: The plane-stress theory presented in Part 1 is shown to predict qualitatively the warping of plane sections observed in transient fringe patterns obtained using birefringent coatings and in ...

Abstract: The propagation of a longitudinal elastic strain pulse in a wide rectangular bar is considered on the basis of approximate plane-stress equations of motion. Asymptotic expressions are obtained ...

Abstract: A common objective in designing a postmortem type of plate-impact experiment is to be able to attribute the observable residual effects (such as residual strain, hardness, or dislocation density) ...

Abstract: Transient longitudinal wave propagation in a semi-infinite, circular, elastic bar loaded by a radially distributed pressure-step end stress is investigated on the basis of the exact equations of ...

Abstract: Axially symmetric cross-sectional strain and stress distributions in semi-infinite cylindrical elastic bars subjected to pressure-step and velocity-impact loading are considered on the basis of the ...
