Multiple cracks in an elastic half-plane subjected to thermo-mechanical loading

An analytical solution is presented for the thermoelastic problem of a half-plane with several cracks under thermo mechanical loading using distributed dislocation technique. The uncoupled quasi-static linear thermoelasticity theory is adopted in which the change in temperature, if any, due to deformations is neglected. The stress field in a half-plane containing thermoelastic dislocation is ob...

LIMIT AVERAGE SHADOWING AND DOMINATED SPLITTING

In this paper the notion of limit average shadowing property is introduced for diffeomorphisms on a compact smooth manifold M and a class of diffeomorphisms is given which has the limit average shadowing property, but does not have the shadowing property. Moreover, we prove that for a closed f-invariant set Lambda  of a diffeomorphism f, if Lambda is C1-stably limit average shadowing and t...

Propagation of cracks in elastic media

Throughout this paper the normal n denotes the interior normal direction; i.e., n = ( f (x1); 1)= p 1 + jf (x1)j when x approaches from above (denoted by ) and n = (f (x1); 1)= p 1 + jf (x1)j from below (denoted by ). In a recent paper [2] the present authors studied the asymptotic behavior of any solution of (1.2){(1.4) in a neighborhood of the tip X(t). Taking for simplicity t = 0 and assumin...
