Abstract: An alternate method of approach for solving the axisymmetric elastic fields in the half space with an isotropic spheriodal inclusion is proposed. This new approach involves the application of ...

Abstract: The elastic force on a point defect within or near a surface layer is determined by the image method. There is no stable equilibrium position for the point defect in the surface layer, it ...

Abstract: This paper reviews progress made in the first year of a three-year program sponsored by EPRI to design and test ceramic root attachments, leading to the full development of ceramic rotor ...
