Contact Interaction of Faces of the Plane Crack under Harmonic Loading

Predicting Depth and Path of Subsurface Crack Propagation at Gear Tooth Flank under Cyclic Contact Loading

In this paper, a two-dimensional computational model is proposed for predicting the initiation position and propagation path of subsurface crack of spur gear tooth flank. In order to simulate the contact of teeth, an equivalent model of two contacting cylinders is used. The problem is assumed to be under linear elastic fracture mechanic conditions and finite element method is used for numerical...

Prediction of Crack Initiation Direction for Inclined Crack Under Biaxial Loading by Finite Element Method

This paper presents a simple method based on strain energy density criterion to study the crack initiation angle by finite element method under biaxial loading condition. The crack surface relative displacement method is used to eliminate the calculation of the stress intensity factors which are normally required. The analysis is performed using higher order four node quadrilateral element. The...

Dynamic Crack Propagation in Sheets of Compressible Neo-hookean Material under General In-plane Loading

Soil-Structure Interaction of Buried Pipes Under Cyclic Loading Conditions

The safety of lifelines, as the most important urban facilities, under different conditions highly depends on the safe design and performance of these buried structures. This cannot be achieved unless their actual behaviors are well understood and considered at the designing stage. A new physical model was developed in Amirkabir University of Technology to study the behavior of buried pipes und...

On the Linear Combinations of Slanted Half-Plane Harmonic Mappings

‎In this paper,  the sufficient conditions for the linear combinations of slanted half-plane harmonic mappings to be univalent and convex in the direction of $(-gamma) $ are studied. Our result improves some recent works. Furthermore, a illustrative example and imagine domains of the linear combinations satisfying the desired conditions are enumerated.
