Fatigue, popularly metal fatigue, is a primary cause of failure of structural engineering
components. Cracks may freely initiate, but this is rare unless the metal (alloy) is of poor …

The problem of adhesive wear is herein investigated in relation to periodic asperity junction
models in the framework of the Archard interpretation suggesting that wear debris formation …

The stress and displacement fields of a complete contact problem are investigated using a
finite element analysis (FEA) and a Moiré experiment, respectively. Asymptotic analysis of …

In this paper, the state of stress induced within a semi-infinite wedge of arbitrary angle by a
generalized singularity is studied, and its analytical solution is derived. The wedge may …

Slipping and yielding at a sharp edge in an adhered and complete contact problem is
studied. Eigenvalue problem is formed and eigen-solutions are obtained. Stress distribution …

This paper is within the framework of an adhered complete contact problem wherein the
contact between a half plane and sharp edged indenter, both of which are elastic in …

This study investigates the stress singularity that occurs at the contact edge of three bodies
in a frictional complete contact. We use the asymptotic analysis method, wherein we …

A slipping at the edge of a complete contact problem is studied. An asymptotic method is first
used for the stress evaluation in the vicinity of the contact edge. The characteristics of the …

Analysis method of a cladding crack subject to PCMI is studied. A surface perpendicular
edge crack emanated from the sharp edge of a cracked pellet fragment is considered, which …

We investigate the influence of material dissimilarity on the traction fields at the corners of a
contact between an elastic right-angle wedge and an elastic half-plane. The local asymptotic …
