Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the asymmetric bifurcation behavior of an initially curved nanobeam accounting for Lorentz and electrostatic forces. The beam model was developed in the framework of Euler–Bernoulli beam ...

Abstract: This paper describes the results from an experimental program that has been conducted to investigate the distribution of earth pressure on a cylindrical wall embedded in granular material and subjected to radial displacement. ...

Abstract: An exact solution is developed for the problem of a spherical inclusion with an imperfectly bonded interface. The inclusion is assumed to have a uniform eigenstrain and a different elastic ...

Abstract: The interface crack problem of bonded piezoelectric and elastic half-space under transient electromechanical loads is considered. Both the permeable and impermeable boundary conditions are examined ...

Abstract: Underground tunnels are considered to be a vital infrastructure component in most cities around the world. Careful planning is always necessary to ensure minimum impact on nearby surface and subsurface structures. This ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the electro-elastic analysis of a conducting rigid line inclusion at the interface of two bonded piezoelectric materials. By combining the analytic function theory ...

Abstract: This article provides a comprehensive theoretical treatment of the eigenstrain problem of a spherical inclusion with an imperfectly bonded interface. Both tangential and normal discontinuities at ...

Abstract: Rockfall is a common geological hazard in mountainous areas and can pose great danger to people and properties. Understanding the impact forces induced by a single rock or a rock cluster on retaining structures is considered ...

Abstract: This paper presents a theoretical investigation into the continued quasi-static compression of a thin metal strip between two rigid, parallel rough dies. Three different constitutive postulates ...
