Abstract: An analytical theory is proposed for describing the growth of a small surface “microcrack” under uniaxial fatigue loading. The theory is based upon dimensional analysis and uses the stress-intensity ...

Abstract: In this paper, the problem of one-dimensional wave propagation in a bar of a thermally sensitive viscoplastic material is considered. A constitutive equation is developed which explicitly accounts ...

Abstract: In this paper, the writers consider the problem of the propagation of an extensional elastoplastic wave through a long thin bar heated at the end to produce a continuously decreasing temperature ...

Abstract: An experiment was performed to determine the nature of the elastic stress system in the vicinity of an elliptical aperture in a plate subjected to uniform in-plane uniaxial tension, when the ...
