Abstract: We investigate the problem of an N-phase elliptical inhomogeneity in plane elasticity. The elliptical inhomogeneity is bonded to the unbounded matrix through the intermediate (N−2) interphases, ...

Abstract: This study addresses the problem of an elastically anisotropic elliptical inhomogeneity bonded to an infinite elastically anisotropic matrix through a linear viscous interface. Our results show ...

Abstract: We study the internal stress field of a three-phase two-dimensional inclusion of arbitrary shape bonded to an unbounded matrix through an intermediate interphase layer when the matrix is subjected ...

Abstract: This work studied the coupled stretching and bending deformations of a through-thickness nonelliptical elastic inhomogeneity embedded in an infinite matrix within the context of Kirchhoff isotropic and laminated plate ...

Abstract: Embankment dams are common worldwide, and the majority of past dam failures are related to such dams. It is imperative to improve the prediction accuracy of embankment dam failure to better estimate the potential impacts ...

Abstract: In this paper, the interaction between a screw dislocation and an arbitrary shaped elastic inhomogeneity with different material properties than the surrounding matrix is investigated. The exact ...

Abstract: Unprecedented high-rise buildings pose new challenges for earthquake engineering. Full-field structural health monitoring (SHM) systems have flourished to address these challenges. In this study, a smart SHM system with ...

Abstract: Frost jacking of electricity transmission tower (ETT) pile foundations in permafrost regions of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau is becoming increasingly serious. This study investigated the effects of thermosyphons on the frost ...
