Abstract: The problem of a shallow shell containing a surface crack and subjected to general loading conditions is considered. It is shown that, as in the three-dimensional elasticity formulation, the ...

Abstract: In this paper the basic residual stress problem for multilayered or multiple films on an elastic substrate is considered. The stresses may be caused by a homogeneous temperature variation or ...

Abstract: The title problem was first considered by Knowles and Wang (1960) and was shown to be related to the solution given by the classical plate theory. This solution is actually the outer solution ...

Abstract: This paper represents the results of an experimental program with the aim of controlling the flow in a highly unstable 90deg curved diffuser. The diffuser, which is an integral part of an ...

Abstract: In this paper the plane elasticity problem for two bonded half-planes containing a crack perpendicular to the interface is considered. The primary objective of the paper is to study the effect ...

Abstract: In this paper the mode III crack problem for two bonded homogeneous half planes is considered. The interfacial zone is modeled by a nonhomogeneous strip in such a way that the shear modulus ...
