Abstract: Reflection and transmission of an SH-wave by a disordered periodic array of coplanar cracks is investigated, and subsequently its application to the dispersion and attenuation of an SH-wave in ...

Abstract: The stresses induced in and around a coated short-fiber composite are investigated by use of the Boussinesq-Sadowsky stress function. The coated fiber is assumed to consist of two confocal ...

Abstract: As a first step towards a systematic study of the interaction between a stress-pulse traveling in transformation toughened ceramics and possible phase transformation of zirconia particles, a ...
