Load transfer between components in engineering assemblies often causes very high localized stresses generally called contact stresses. The contact stresses are highly concentrated close to the contact region and decrease ...

Laminated composite plates are very important engineering structure with wide application in aerospace, automobile, and nuclear industry due to their high specific strength and specific modulus. In recent years, these ...

On the basis of Kirchhoffs assumption and geometrically nonlinear theo~y for axially extensible bars, this thesis presents an exact mathematical model for the thermal post-buckling of an elastic bar with different immovable ...

In the present work the stress intensity factor of radial crack emanating from the edge of a circular hole subjected to combined normal and shear loading has been investigated numerically. This work has been done following ...
