An analytical solution to the frictional sliding contact problem for homogeneous orthotropic materials indented by a semi-circular punch is developed.The principal axes of orthotropy are assumed to be parallel and perpendicular ...

In this paper, the effects of introducing lateral circular cutouts on crash performances of tapered thin-walled tubes are explored within a simulation-driven surrogate-based multi-objective optimization framework. The crash ...

We consider in this paper the fully coupled contact problem between a rigid cylinder and a functionally graded coating bonded to a homogeneous substrate system under plane strain and generalized plane stress sliding ...

We consider in this study the frictional sliding contact problem between a functionally graded magneto-electro-elastic material and a perfectly conducting rigid punch subjected to magneto-electro-mechanical loads. The ...
