Abstract: An infinitely long elastic plate/layer is under uniaxial compression with its long dimension held by adhesion to a flat rigid base without friction. A prescribed length of the plate/layer is free of adhesion. This configuration ...

Abstract: The subject of this investigation is the plane strain elasticity problem of a finite width semi-infinite strip with its end pressed against a half-plane of the same material with friction. From the existing integral equation ...

Abstract: In this investigation, we consider a crack close to and perpendicular to a bimaterial interface. If the crack tip is at the interface then, depending on material properties, the order of the stress singularity will be equal ...

Abstract: Micro and nanomechanics are growing fields in the semiconductor and related industries. Consequently obstacles, such as particles trapped between layers, are becoming more important and warrant further attention. In this ...

Abstract: This investigation considers the dynamic stability of the steady-state frictional sliding of a finite-thickness elastic layer pressed against a moving rigid and flat surface of infinite extent. The elastic layer is fixed ...
