Abstract: This study is concerned with the treatment of the dynamic antiplane failure behavior of fiber reinforced composites involving matrix cracks and partially-debonded fibers. The matrix/fiber interphase ...

Abstract: This article presents an analytical treatment of the dynamic interaction between a crack and an arbitrarily located circular inhomogeneity under antiplane incident wave. The method is based upon ...

Abstract: This paper provides a theoretical analysis of the elastic wave propagation in an elastic medium induced by embedded piezoceramic actuators under dynamic electric loads. A new actuator model ...
