This study considers a symmetrical finite strip with a length of 2L and a width of 2h containing two collinear edge cracks located at the center of the strip. Each edge crack has a width h–a. Two ends of the finite strip are bonded to two rigid plates through which uniformly distributed axial tensile loads of intensity p0 are applied. The finite strip is assumed to be made of a linearly elastic and isotropic material. For the solution of the finite strip problem, an infinite strip of width 2h containing two internal cracks of width b–a at y=0 and two rigid inclusions of width 2c at y=± L is considered. When the width of rigid inclusions approach the width of the strip, the portion of the infinite strip between the inclusions becomes identical with the finite strip problem. When the outer edges of the internal cracks approach the edge of the strip, they become edge cracks (notches). Governing equations are solved by using Fourier transform technique and these equations are reduced to a system of three singular integral equations. By using Gauss-Lobatto and Gauss-Jacobi integration formulas, these three singular integral equations are converted to a system of linear algebraic equations which is solved numerically.

Finite strip with a central crack under tension
Yetmez, M; Gecit, MR (Elsevier BV, 2005-03-01)
In this study, a symmetrical finite strip with a length of 2L and a width of 2h, containing a transverse symmetrical crack of width 2a at the midplane is considered. Two rigid plates are bonded to the ends of the strip through which uniformly distributed axial tensile load of magnitude 2hp(0) is applied. The material of the strip is assumed to be linearly elastic and isotropic. Both edges of the strip are free of stresses. Solution for this finite strip problem is obtained by means of an infinite strip of w...
Edge cracks in a transversely isotropic hollow cylinder
Kadıoğlu, Fevzi Suat (Elsevier BV, 2005-09-01)
The analytical solution for the linear elastic, axisymmetric problem of inner and outer edge cracks in a transversely isotropic infinitely long hollow cylinder is considered. The z = 0 plane on which the crack lies is a plane of symmetry. The loading is uniform crack surface pressure. The mixed boundary value problem is reduced to a singular integral equation where the unknown is the derivative of the crack surface displacement. An asymptotic analysis is done to derive the generalized Cauchy kernel associat...
Finite rigid sets in curve complexes of nonorientable surfaces
Ilbira, Sabahattin; Korkmaz, Mustafa (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-06-01)
A rigid set in a curve complex of a surface is a subcomplex such that every locally injective simplicial map from the set into the curve complex is induced by a homeomorphism of the surface. In this paper, we find finite rigid sets in the curve complexes of connected nonorientable surfaces of genus g with n holes for g + n not equal 4.
COMPRESSIBLE, HYPERELASTIC SPINNING TUBES SUBJECTED TO CIRCUMFERENTIAL SHEAR
ERTEPINAR, A (Elsevier BV, 1991-01-01)
The finite strain behavior of cylindrical tubes, made of a polynomial compressible material and subjected to the simultaneous action of constant spin and uniform external circumferential shear, is investigated using the theory of finite elasticity. The inner surface of the tube is assumed to be perfectly bonded to a rigid shaft. The governing quasi-linear system of two ordinary differential equations is solved using a shooting method. Numerical results are generated to analyze, qualitatively, the effects...
Finite anti-plane shear of compressible hyperelastic tubes
Erarslanoğlu, G.; Ertepınar, A. (Elsevier BV, 1990-1)
Finite, anti-plane shear of a long, hyperelastic, compressible circular cylindrical tube is investigated using the theory of finite elasticity. The highly nonlinear, coupled, ordinary differential equations with variable coefficients governing the problem are solved numerically using the method of adjoints. The effect of the compressibility of the material is studied in several numerical examples.
