Abstract: This paper is an extension of work by Drugan et al. (1982) who derive the stress and deformation fields at the tip of a plane strain tensile crack that grows quasi-statically, under general ...

Abstract: As an analytical first study of the mechanics of ductile-brittle interfacial crack growth, I derive the stress and deformation fields near the tip of a crack that is growing quasi-statically ...

Abstract: The present work provides rigorous substantiation of certain crucial asymptotic expressions which constitute the basis of a number of previous near-tip analyses of quasistatic elastic-plastic crack ...

Abstract: We perform an analytical first study of the influence of a uniform porosity distribution, for the entire range of porosity level, on the stress field near a plane strain tensile crack tip ...

Abstract: Why do experiments detect Cosserat-elastic effects for porous, but not for stiff-particle-reinforced, materials? Does homogenization of a heterogeneous Cauchy-elastic material lead to micropolar ...

Abstract: For dynamic deformations of compressible elastic-ideally plastic materials in the practically important cases of plane stress and plane strain, we investigate the possible existence of propagating ...

Abstract: This paper continues the investigation of Drugan and Miao (1992). There we studied analytically the influence of a uniform porosity distribution on the stress field near a plane strain tensile ...
