Abstract: In many contact problems when friction is not to be neglected the slip phenomenon has not been well understood. The purpose of this paper is to study the slip phenomenon by focusing on a ...

Abstract: In this paper, we have studied the intensification of thermal stresses due to a transverse flow of heat in a fiber of prolate spheroidal shape embedded in an unbounded medium. The analysis ...

Abstract: A simple method which combines the weight function technique and finite element results is used to obtain mode I stress intensity factor solutions for radially cracked cylinders subjected to a ...

Abstract: A simple method is provided for the computation of the redistribution of residual stresses and the stress intensity factors due to the introduction of notches and cracks in a partially ...

Abstract: An oblong elliptic inclusion is perfectly filled in a hole in an infinite plate in the unstressed state. Cavities at the ends of the inclusion will appear as a result of the application of ...

Abstract: Most composites are fabricated at elevated temperatures and cooled to room temperature. The difference in coefficients of thermal expansion of the fiber and matrix may cause buckling of the ...

Abstract: The effect of favorable residual stresses of an autofrettaged tube is well known [1]. In many instances there is redistribution of these stresses due to changes of geometrical configurations ...
