...J. Merson; R. C. Picu This article presents the displacement field produced by a point force acting on an athermal random fiber network (the Green function for the network). The problem is defined within the limits of linear elasticity, and the field is obtained numerically for nonaffine networks...

... the distributions to be square root bounded to zero or square root singular at the ends of the area of insertion. This new formulation opens up a range of plane frictional receding contacts to theoretical study. Solutions are obtained for the basic plane receding contact problem of a homogeneous linear elastic semi...

.... In linear elasticity, the effect of Poisson’s ratio on three-dimensional stress distribution is theoretically explained for simply connected bodies by using static methods in this study. It is proven that the stress components are independent from Poisson’s ratio in sections of the body where the stress...
