Abstract: The problem of a circular cylindrical inclusion with uniform eigenstrain in an elastic half-space is studied by using the Green’s function technique. Explicit solutions are obtained for the ...

Abstract: This article provides a comprehensive treatment of cracks in nonhomogeneous structural materials such as functionally graded materials. It is assumed that the material properties depend only on ...

Abstract: In the theoretical studies of crack problems, several different electric boundary conditions at the crack surfaces in piezoelectric materials have been proposed by numerous researchers (1234). ...
