Solid mechanics and its applications

TL;DR: The third edition of the reference book as discussed by the authors has been thoroughly updated while retaining its comprehensive coverage of the fundamental theory, concepts, and laboratory results, and highlights applications in unconventional reservoirs, including water, hydrocarbons, gases, minerals, rocks, ice, magma and methane hydrates.

TL;DR: In this article, a non-singular, self-consistent framework for computing the stress field and the total elastic energy of a general dislocation microstructure was developed, in which the driving force defined as the negative derivative of the total energy with respect to the dislocation position, is equal to the force produced by stress, through the Peach-Koehler formula.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the stress distribution between two adjacent opening-mode fractures as a function of the fracture spacing to layer thickness ratio using a three-layer elastic model with a fractured central layer.

TL;DR: In this paper, an implicit level set algorithm is proposed to locate the free boundary for a propagating hydraulic fracture, which exploits the local tip asymptotic behavior, applicable at the computational length scale, in order to locate a free boundary.

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that to answer several questions of physical or engineering interest, it is necessary to know only the relatively simple elastic field inside the ellipsoid.

TL;DR: In this article, the number of physical constants necessary to determine the properties of the soil is derived along with the general equations for the prediction of settlements and stresses in three-dimensional problems.

TL;DR: In this paper, the physical properties of crystals systematically in tensor notation are presented, presenting tensor properties in terms of their common mathematical basis and the thermodynamic relations between them.

TL;DR: In this article, the Berechnung der dielektrizitatatkonstanten and der Leitfahigkeiten fur Elektriatitat and Warme der Mischkorper aus isotropen Bestandteilen behandelt.
