Abstract
In the present work, a Finite Element-Boundary Integral Equation (FE-BIE) coupling method is proposed to investigate the problem of axially loaded thin structures bonded to a homogeneous elastic half-plane. Making use of a mixed variational formulation including the Green function of the substrate, the axial displacement of the bar is interpolated by using Lagrange polynomials of first or second order, whereas the interfacial shear stress is approximated by piecewise constant functions. Bars subject to different load conditions are investigated, including the case of a bar partially detached from the substrate. The strength of interfacial stress singularities are investigated in detail.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
