Abstract: The objective of this work is to investigate the quasi-static plastic behavior of a fully clamped metal foam core sandwich beam transversely loaded by a flat punch. A rigid-plastic beam-on-foundation ...

Abstract: Micromechanics approach is employed to investigate the constraint effect on post-yield fracture toughness. Relationships between the conventional post-yield fracture toughness values, J1c and δc , ...

Abstract: We consider the contact problem for a particular class of compressible hyperelastic materials of harmonic type undergoing finite plane deformations. Using complex variable techniques, we derive ...

Abstract: The diffractions of plane compressional waves (P-wave) and shear waves (SV-wave) by a cylindrical nano-inclusion are investigated in this paper. To account for the surface/interface effect at ...
