Abstract: Crack tip shielding due to crack-interface bridging in a cellulose fiber reinforced cement, plain mortar and a coarse-grained alumina is studied in terms of a novel compliance function φ-curve ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the applicability and effect of the crack-free electrical boundary conditions in piezoelectric fracture. By treating flaws in a medium as notches with a finite width, the ...

Abstract: In recent years, ferroelectromagnetic laminated composites have aroused worldwide research interest. In this paper, we developed a closed-form solution for antiplane mechanical and in-plane electric ...

Abstract: A review is given on the basic concepts and fundamental framework of the theory of elasticity for quasi-crystalline materials, including some 1D, 2D, and 3D quasi-crystals. The elasticity of ...
