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 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 …

Dislocations and the elastic fields they induce in anisotropic elastic crystals are basic for
understanding and modeling the mechanical properties of crystalline solids. Unlike previous …

It is shown that the conventional 'sheet by sheet'analysis of residual stress measurement by
the deep hole drilling method is inaccurate when in-plane stress gradients exist. The …

This paper uses a distribution of ring dislocations to find the solution for the frictional
axisymmetric receding contact of a semi-infinite layer pressed against a half-space by a …

This paper uses a distribution of ring dislocations to find the solution for the frictional
axisymmetric receding contact of a semi-infinite layer pressed against a half-space by a …

A solution for the stress fields in a shaft-hub shrink-fit assembly subjected to an axial force is
presented. The assembly is modelled as a semi-infinite shaft embedded within an elastic …
