On Boussinesq’s problem for a cracked halfspace
This paper examines the axisymmetric elastostatic problem that deals with the action of a concentrated normal force on the surface of an isotropic elastic halfspace containing a penny-shaped crack. The mathema...

Bridged defects in continuously and discretely reinforced solids
The paper examines problems that relate to defects in elastic solids that are reinforced by aligned fibres. The category of problems deals with flaw bridging that can occur as a result of continuity of fibres ...

Crack-bridging in a unidirectionally fibre-reinforced plate
The mechanics of a matrix crack situated in a unidirectional fibre-reinforced elastic plate where the fibres have experienced debonding over an identifiable zone is examined. This results in a condition referr...

On the axisymmetric loading of an annular crack by a disk inclusion
This paper examines the axisymmetric elastostatic problem related to the loading of an annular crack by a rigid disk–shaped inclusion subjected to a central force. The integral equations associated with the re...

Contributions to the theory of elasticity by Louis Napoleon George Filon as viewed in the light of subsequent developments in biharmonic problems in applied mechanics and engineering mathematics
This paper contains introductory notes to the special issue of the Journal of Engineering Mathematics about the life and scientific work of L. N. G. Filon (1875–1937). The objective of this paper is to provide...

An inclusion at a bi-material elastic interface
This paper examines the problem of the axial displacement of a rigid circular disk-shaped inclusion which is embedded at the interface between two bonded dissimilar isotropic elastic solids. The analysis focus...

Some generalized anti-plane strain problems for an inhomogeneous elastic halfspace
This paper develops a generalized formulation of the theory of anti-plane deformations of a linear elastic solid, the Lamé constants of which depend on a single spatial variable. The generalized theory is appl...
