Elastic State of a Sliding Short Fiber Inclusion in a Three-Dimensional Matrix

Thermally active interphase inclusion in a smooth contact conditions with transversely isotropic half-spaces

“…An analysis of well-known publications shows that nonaxisymmetric problems of thermoelasticity for piecewise homogeneous transversely isotropic media in the presence of interfacial defects are not well-studied.have not been extencively studied. Especially it concerns a smooth (sliding) contact of the inclusion with the medium, despite the importance of such a solution [16]. In this paper, for the first time, we consider the non-axisymmetric stationary thermoelasticity problem for a composite transversely isotropic space containing a heat radiating circular inclusion having a smooth contact with the medium.…”

Effective Elastic Properties of 3D Composites with Short Curvilinear Fibers: Numerical Simulation and Experimental Validation

“…In the case of finite fibers of ellipsoidal shape, the analytical Eshelby's equivalent inclusion method in conjunction with the homogenization dilute model or different homogenization aggregate models is suitable for the evaluation of effective elastic constants of 3D composites [2]. Further generalization on the problems with complexity in the direction of fiber shapes can be achieved by a combination of these models and numerical methods such as the boundary integral equation method or related boundary element method (BEM) [3,4], and the finite element method (FEM) [5]. In addition, the BEM is much attractive for the computation, because involves discretization of the boundary of composite structure only and allows direct calculation of average elastic fields through the defined boundary quantities [6].…”
