Abstract: A one-dimensional rate-sensitive stress-strain relationship is developed to describe the uniaxial mechanical behavior in compression for sea ice. It is a one-term, nonlinear model and is simpler ...

Abstract: Derivation of the constitutive equations of elastic-plastic and elastic-viscoplastic solids at finite deformations is discussed. The deformation is uncoupled by using the Lee-Freund three-configuration ...

Abstract: In the winter of 1979/80, five petroleum companies participated in a field test program conducted by Exxon Production Research Company in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, to measure the unconfined compressive ...

Abstract: The propagation of SH waves in a three-layered medium containing an interlayer between two semi-infinite solids with frictional contact interfaces is studied. The incident wave, which propagates ...

Abstract: The name of the third author should read D. Gross.

Abstract: Tests have been conducted on freshwater columnar ice samples to determine the uniaxial and triaxial compressive strength of the ice. Four parameters were varied. The confining pressure was ...

Abstract: An analytical model is developed for a functionally graded interfacial zone between two dissimilar elastic solids. Based on the fact that an arbitrary curve can be approached by a continuous ...
