In the present study, the scattering of plane elastic waves by multiple periodic arrays of
interface strip-like cracks is investigated. The boundary-value problem is solved using the …

This study analyzes the phase and attenuation dynamic behavior of piezo-viscoelastic
microbeam overlying quadratic heterogeneous viscoelastic plate under sliding contact …

The paper presents the experimental validation of the applicability of the effective spring
boundary conditions (ESBC), where spring stiffness is expressed in terms of material …

The doubly periodic arrays of cracks represent an important mesoscopic model for analysis
of the damage and fracture mechanics behaviors of materials. Here, in the framework of a …

In the present study frequency dependent effective spring boundary conditions are
formulated to simulate wave propagation through an interface with distributions of micro …

Elastic waves in the presence of a damaged interface between two dissimilar elastic media
is investigated in the three-dimensional case. The damaged is modeled as a stochastic …

Background The surgical success of cementless implants is determined by the evolution of
the biomechanical properties of the bone–implant interface (BII). One difficulty to model the …

The problem of determining the dynamic stress intensity factors (DSIFs) in an orthotropic
strip with functionally graded materials coating weakened by multiple arbitrary cracks under …

In-plane elastic wave propagation through a damaged interface between dissimilar
orthotropic media is investigated. The damage is modelled as a randomly distributed array …

Rock discontinuities such as joints widely exist in natural rock masses, and wave attenuation
through rock masses is mainly caused by discontinuities. The displacement discontinuity …
