Stress analysis of a crack in a fiber-reinforced layered composite

Transient responses of bi-layered structure based on generalized thermoelasticity: Interfacial conditions

“…And they are widely used in engineering practices, such as automotive, naval, and aerospace [1][2][3]. The stress analysis of these structures, even in thermal environment, plays a significant role in their optimization designs.…”

“…The analysis of a multilayered domain under thermal shock is both theoretically and practically significant [4]. The classical coupled theory of thermoelasticity was developed by Biot [5], and in the thermoelastic context, some problems were considered, such as: thermoelastic contact [6,7], thermoelastic stability [8,9], and thermoelastic analysis [2,10]. However, the classical thermoelasticity predicts an infinite speed of heat propagation, which contradicts physical facts [11].…”

The stress field due to an interfacial edge dislocation in a multi-layered medium

“…Many modern composites and advanced material systems, such as protective coatings, laminated ceramics, microelectronic devices, layered nanofilms, functionally graded materials and adhesive joints, are examples of multi-layered structures (Sackman et al 1989;Holleck et al 1990;Roeder and Sun, 2001;Chen and Pindera, 2006;Khanna and Kotousov, 2014). These structures are also prevalent in nature, ranging from the nano-scale structures, which provide unique properties to bio-materials such as nacre, tooth enamel and bone (Sellinger et al 1998;Gao et al 2003) to the large scale structures such as stratified rock formations in the earth's crust (Daneshy, 1978;Gudmundsson et al 2010;Khanna and Kotousov, 2015).…”
