In this report, an optimised method for residual stress determination at the microscopic scale
is presented. The newly proposed approach involves incremental Focused Ion Beam (FIB) …

Focused Ion Beam (FIB) milling of ring-shaped trenches (ring drilling) induces controlled
gradual strain relief at the surface of residually stressed samples, with the central “island” …

Lath martensite structures in medium-carbon steels incorporate a significant amount of
residual stresses that are mostly induced by the martensitic transformation process …

Previous analytical treatments to the crack problems in functionally graded materials (FGMs)
were mostly based on the assumption that only the shear modulus is variable according to …

This paper describes a fixed grid algorithm to simulate the propagation of shallow hydraulic
fractures, under plane strain or axisymmetric conditions. Because of the low stress …

This paper describes a displacement discontinuity method for modeling axisymmetric cracks
in an elastic half-space or full space. The formulation is based on hypersingular integral …

We present the elastic models of defects in crystals exploring the framework of continuum
mechanics of solids. The key feature of the defects attributed to zero-, one-, two-or three …

We present a solution to the boundary-value problem in the classical theory of elasticity for a
circular prismatic dislocation loop (CPDL) in an elastic body with one or two spherical free …

Elastic fields of circular dislocation and disclination loops are represented in explicit form in
terms of spherical harmonics, ie via series with Legendre and associated Legendre …

Traditionally, for hard materials, two types of straight disclinations are identified although
some Somigliana disclinations with different aspects have been treated theoretically. Here …
