..., with reference to two sample cases. The first example proves that the solution in a NT panel acted on by vertical loads on the top is clearly identified in terms of stress, but if discontinuities are present in the load pattern, these reflect in some strong singularities in the deformation field that requires...

..., the problem of interface cracks between homogeneous, isotropic, and anisotropic materials is presented. The purpose of this paper is to present an accurate and efficient method for calculating stress intensity factors for mixed mode deformation. The equations presented here should aid workers in this field...

...Z. P. Huang; J. Wang The ductile fracture of many materials is related to the nucleation, growth, and coalescence of voids. Also, a material containing voids represents an extreme case of heterogeneous materials. In the last few decades, numerous studies have been devoted to the local deformation...

Third, some applications of molecular dynamics (MD) in applied mechanics are discussed. The emphases of this survey are placed on simulations of finite deformations, fracture...

.... A common feature is that undrained response, invoked by rapid slip or deformation, is stiffer than drained response, which occurs for slower slip or deformation. The time and spatial variation of the stress and pore pressure is different for slip on permeable and impermeable planes. These solutions...
