Abstract: The Green’s function for an anisotropic elastic half-space that is bonded to a thin elastic material of different anisotropy subject to a line force and a line dislocation is presented. Also ...

Abstract: Cleats are natural fractures in coal beds resulting from dehydration, devolatilization, and stresses in the earth’s upper crust during coalification. The orientation of these fractures usually ...

Abstract: Poisson’s ratio for an anisotropic linear elastic material depends on two orthogonal directions n and m. Materials with negative Poisson’s ratios for all (n,m) pairs are called completely auxetic ...
