Abstract: The question of the domain of dominance of mode I asymptotic elastodynamic crack-tip fields is investigated experimentally for the cases of dynamically loaded stationary cracks as well as ...

Abstract: Understanding the behavior of steel-concrete interaction is of fundamental importance to the study of reinforced concrete structures. In this paper, a technique for the development of a constitutive model for that interaction ...

Abstract: The development of a nondestructive, full-field, quantitative optical technique, and its feasibility to study dynamic deformations of opaque and diffusively reflecting solids under transient loads, ...
