Abstract: We develop a rigorous solution to the antiplane problem of a circular inhomogeneity embedded within an infinite isotropic elastic medium (matrix) under the assumption of nonuniform remote loading. ...

Abstract: We investigate the classic (inverse) problem concerned with the design of so-called harmonic shapes for an elastic material undergoing finite plane deformations. In particular, we show how to ...

Abstract: We examined the effects of surface elasticity in a classical mode-III crack problem arising in the antiplane shear deformations of a linearly elastic solid. The surface mechanics are incorporated ...

Abstract: We consider the contact problem for a particular class of compressible hyperelastic materials of harmonic type undergoing finite plane deformations. Using complex variable techniques, we derive ...

Abstract: When the radius of a hole reduces to nanometers, the influence of surface energy becomes prominent in its mechanical behavior. In the present paper, we consider the diffraction of plane ...
