Abstract: A partial solution to the problem of the stress distribution on the boundary of a circular hole in a large plate during passage of a stress pulse of relatively long duration is presented. ...

Abstract: An initial study of stress waves propagating in a half space due to a point load on the surface has been accomplished by employing dynamic three-dimensional photoelasticity. The central plane ...

Abstract: When two arrays of lines are superimposed an optical phenomenon known as the moire effect is observed under certain conditions. This moire effect is used by the authors to determine the ...

Abstract: In the research program reported in this paper an experimental solution was obtained for the stress distribution around a circular hole in a large plate during passage of a pressure wave. The ...
