Abstract: The flexural-vibration characteristics of a symmetric, doubly infinite composite plate consisting of two outer layers of a linear viscoelastic material bonded to an elastic core have been examined, ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation was undertaken to determine the force-indentation relations governing the contact of hard-steel balls and plane surfaces of various metals both under static and dynamic ...

Abstract: The quasi-static and dynamic indentation of a hard steel sphere into a massive lead block, considered to represent a rigid perfectly-plastic half-space, has been investigated experimentally. The ...

Abstract: The diffraction of steady-state elastic waves from arbitrarily shaped inclusions in an infinite medium is described by means of simultaneous singular integral equations expressed in terms of a ...

Abstract: Human cerebral blood vessels are frequently damaged in head impact, whether accidental or deliberate, resulting in intracranial bleeding. Additionally, the vasculature constitutes the support structure ...
