Abstract: An analysis of bending stresses in flexible cables has been carried out. It has been found that stresses which arise due to fixity at the boundaries or other points of discontinuity, decay ...

Abstract: A failure condition recently proposed for the composite material syntactic foam is applied to the inhomogeneous state of stress which occurs in a layered sphere exposed to external pressure. ...

Abstract: A failure condition is proposed for the composite material “syntactic foam” based upon an experimental program carried out under combined biaxial and triaxial stress states. The material itself ...
