Abstract: The dynamic response of an external circular crack to a harmonic longitudinal wave in a transversely isotropic material is investigated using the techniques of Hankel transform. The wave impinges ...

Abstract: The propagation of a longitudinal harmonic wave in a transversely isotropic shell has been investigated in the development of ultrasonic techniques for thick hollow composite cylinders. The ...

Abstract: The forced vertical vibratory motion of a rigid body with a circular base on the surface of a transversely isotropic material is investigated by using the method of Hankel transform. The total ...

Abstract: A central crack which propagates symmetrically in an orthotropic composite plate is investigated using the techniques of Fourier and Laplace transforms. The crack is located along one of the ...

Abstract: The stress distribution produced by the identation of a penny-shaped crack by an oblate smooth spheroidal rigid inclusion in a transversely isotropic medium is investigated using the method of ...

Abstract: The thermal stress problem for a penny-shaped crack contained in a transversely isotropic medium is investigated using the techniques of Hankel transforms and double integrations. Symmetrical ...

Abstract: The problem of an infinitely long orthotropic strip containing a pair of coplanar cracks perpendicular to the edges of the strip is studied. The surfaces of the cracks are loaded by an ...
