A nonlocal model is formulated to study the size-dependent free transverse vibrations of
nanobeams with arbitrary numbers of cracks. The effect of the crack is modeled by …

Under compressive stress, rock 'damage'in the form of tensile microcracks is coupled to
internal slip on microscopic interfaces, such as pre-existing cracks and grain boundaries. In …

Property contribution tensors constitute basic building blocks for evaluation of effective
properties of heterogeneous materials. Most of the existing results, however, are obtained …

Understanding the properties of cracked rocks is of great importance in scenarios involving
CO 2 geological sequestration, nuclear waste disposal, geothermal energy, and …

Seismological observations indicate strong variations in wave velocities around faults both
co‐seismically during earthquakes, and post‐seismically. Recovery is commonly associated …

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

In this paper, we consider materials containing superspherical inhomogeneities and
compare effects produced by pores and rigid particles of this shape. The overall properties …

An analytical solution is obtained for the problem of an infinite elastic medium containing a
rigid toroidal inhomogeneity under remotely applied uniform strain. The traction on the torus …

Overall conductivity of composites reinforced with in-phase continuous sinusoidal fibers of
circular cross-sections is investigated. The effects of the fiber/matrix conductivity contrast …

The incremental normal contact compliance of an elastic body beneath a frictionless
indenter of arbitrary smooth shape is considered under the assumption of a simply …
