Abstract: The pulsating flow of a viscous, incompressible fluid through rigid circular channels having walls which diverge at a slow exponential rate is examined analytically. Linearized solutions for low ...

Abstract: Stress field for stationary cracks, aligned along the gradient, in functionally graded materials is obtained through an asymptotic analysis coupled with Westergaard’s stress function approach. The ...

Abstract: A generalized elastic solution for an arbitrarily propagating transient crack in functionally graded materials (FGMs) is obtained through an asymptotic analysis. The shear modulus and mass density ...
