Thermal softening, damage softening, time-dependent softening, and the effect of the third invariant are also included. The shear modulus can be constant or variable. The pressure...

... and perturbed Laplace equations associated with antiplane fracture in a graded material. We present the out-of-plane displacement and the shear stress solutions for a crack in exponentially and linearly graded materials by considering the gradation of the shear modulus either parallel or perpendicular...

... for orthotropic materials, specifically, those, which have a shear modulus different from the isotropic value. Finally, prestressing and initial shape are considered together and, promisingly, it is predicted that some shells can be neutrally stable and bistable simultaneously. As a final exercise...

... and is shown to be dependent on only one nondimensional parameter: the product of the aspect ratio of the block and the bending angle. A Maclaurin series expansion in this parameter is then found. The first-order term is proportional to μ , the shear modulus of linear elasticity; the second-order term...

... inside the elliptical inhomogeneity is still uniform when the following two conditions are satisfied: (i) The formed interfaces are ( N − 1 ) confocal ellipses, and (ii) the interphases and the matrix possess the same shear modulus but different Poisson’s ratios. In Appendixes A xB , we also discuss...

.... It is found that when the interphase layer is more compliant than both the inhomogeneity and the matrix, three transient equilibrium positions (two are unstable and one is stable) for the dislocation can coexist at a certain early time moment. If the inhomogeneity and matrix possess the same shear modulus...
