Abstract: We have considered the problem of determining the dynamic stress distribution in an infinitely long isotropic homogeneous elastic strip containing a Griffith crack which is perpendicular to the ...

Abstract: Analytical investigation of a half plane weakened by a finite crack is considered. The crack is placed perpendicularly to the stress-free boundary of the half plane. The surfaces of the crack ...

Abstract: The dynamic problem presented here is for an infinite elastic medium weakened by two coplanar Griffith cracks in which a self-equilibrated system of pressure is varied harmonically with time. ...

Abstract: The three-dimensional dynamic problem is presented for an infinite elastic medium weakened by a plane crack of infinite length and finite width. On the surfaces of the crack, the self-equilibrated ...

Abstract: Transient response of an infinite elastic strip with a circular hole is investigated in this study. A normal stress is suddenly applied and maintained at the hole. The boundary condition ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the analysis of the stress distribution arising in a transversely isotropic infinite slab with a symmetrically located spherical cavity under all-around tension. Difficulties ...

Abstract: In this paper, a solution is given for the stresses and displacements around a spherical cavity in a transversely isotropic homogeneous elastic half space under all-around tension. The traction-free ...
