This paper exactly analyzes the problem of a rigid sphere indenting a transversely isotropicpiezoelectric half-space.The potential theory method is employed and
A cavitated bifurcation problem is examined for a sphere composed of a class of generalized Valanis-Landel materials subjected to a uniform radial tensile dead-
According to the classical elastic theory,there is always a discontinuity of rotation angleon the interface between different materials.This illogic result can
