Unified and generalized Fresnel numbers
The concept of Fresnel number is discussed and expressions are derived for misaligned optical systems. For the case of perfectly aligned optical elements, the usual number,N, based on a Fresnel zone concept is fo...

A new look at energy release rates for quasistatically propagating cracks in inelastic materials
A map** technique is used to derive an integral expression for the energy release rate for a quasistatically propagating crack. The derivation does not depend on any assumptions in regard to the contitutive ...

Interface studies on crystallized alumina-silica fibre-reinforced Al-Si alloy composites
On applying heat treatments to the amorphous alumina-silica fibre (55% Al2O3, 45% SiO2), the mullite crystal is separated out, and the crystallinity depends on the heat treatment parameters. The crystallized alum...

Symmetrizing transformation of general astigmatic Gaussian beams
The symmetrizing transformation of coherent general astigmatic Gaussian beams is analysed by the tensor ABCD law. It is shown in this paper that a nonorthogonal astigmatic Gaussian beam (with rotation) can be tra...

Plane Stress Crack Tip Field Around a Rapidly Growing Ductile/Rigid Interface Crack
Plane stress dynamic crack growth along a ductile/rigid interface is investigated. The ductile material is taken to be ideally plastic and obey the J2 flow theory of plasticity. Under steady-state conditions, the...
