Stability of laminated composites with delaminations by Yap, Chun Wee

“…Furthermore, in order to examine the buckling phenomena of moderately thick composite beam, three different collections of expressions designated as FSDT methods 1, 2 and 3 are presented to compute three separate sets of values for the effective flexural stiffness, effective shear modulus and shear correction factor in the first-order shear deformation beam theory. …”

The discovery of a conjugate system of faults in the Wharton Basin intraplate deformation zone by Singh, Satish Chandra, Hananto, Nugroho, Qin, Yanfang, Leclerc, Frederique, Avianto, Praditya, Tapponnier, Paul E., Carton, Helene, Wei, Shengji, Nugroho, Adam B., Gemilang, Wishnu A., Sieh, Kerry, Barbot, Sylvain

“…Using high-resolution bathymetry and seismic reflection data, we report the discovery of new N294°E-striking shear zones, oblique to the plate fabric. These shear zones are expressed by sets of normal faults striking at N335°E, defining the direction of the principal compressional stress in the region. …”

Non-slipping adhesive contact between dissimilar elastic solids under normal and tangential loads by Ma, L, Chen, Y, Hills, DA

“…Specifically, (i) the shear-off force of adhesive contact is proposed; (ii) the effect of tangential load on the puff-off force is presented; (iii) the influence of the normal load on the shear-off force is obtained; (iv) in the context of these results, the nominal static friction coefficient is defined and analyzed, and it is shown that the static friction coefficient is a function of external normal load, which can well explain some experimental results in the literature. …”
