Abstract: Small deformation theory plays an important role in analyzing the mechanical behavior of various elastic materials since it often leads to simple referential analytic results. For some specific mechanical problems however ...

Abstract: Abstract. This article studies an inverse problem in plane elasticity concerning the preservation of the cross-sectional area of a hole under remote loading. The problem is motivated primarily by the need to stabilize ...

Abstract: In elasticity theory, a neutral inhomogeneity is defined as a foreign body which can be introduced into a host solid without disturbing the stress field in the solid. The existence of circular neutral elastic nanoinhomogeneities ...

Abstract: We consider the plane deformations of an infinite elastic solid containing an arbitrarily shaped compressible liquid inhomogeneity in the presence of uniform remote in-plane loading. The effects of residual interface tension ...
