Nowadays, orthotropic piezomaterials have enormous potential in producing electronic
devices owing to their inherent merits, eg, intrinsically robust piezoelectricity. Nevertheless …

Structural schemes of applicative interests in Engineering Science frequently encounter the
intricate phenomenon of discontinuity. The present study intends to address the discontinuity …

Surface effects usually remarkably affect the mechanical response of ultra-thin micro-/nano-
structures. However, the mechanisms of surface effects on the fracture characteristics of ultra …

We study the anti-plane shear waves in a domain consisting of an elastic layer (plate) with a
coating attached to an elastic half-space (substrate). We assume an imperfect contact …

The determination of surface elastic moduli is discussed in the context of a recently
proposed strongly anisotropic surface elasticity model. The aim of the model was to describe …

We re-examine two linearized versions of the Steigmann-Ogden model of a general elastic
cylindrical surface under plane deformation. The first version appears quite commonly in the …

We introduce the surface viscoelasticity under finite deformations. The theory is
straightforward generalization of the Gurtin–Murdoch model to materials with fading …

The path-independent M-integral plays an important role in analysis of solids with
inhomogeneities. However, the available applications are almost limited to linear-elastic or …

The strain gradient elasticity theory and surface elasticity theory have been employed to
describe the mechanical behavior of materials featuring microstructures within the interior …

The article contains the solution of a semi-infinite crack present at the interface of two
dissimilar orthotropic strips sandwiched between dissimilar orthotropic strips. The crack is …
