Stress Analysis of an Irregular Fiber-Reinforced Layer Imperfectly Bonded to a Transversely Isotropic Half-Space Subjected to Moving Load
摘要
In this paper, a theoretical study is carried out to investigate the dynamic response of a structure comprising an initially stressed fiber-reinforced layer lying over an initially stressed transversely isotropic half-space subject to a moving load. There is a parabolic irregularity at the surface of the fiber-reinforced layer. Further, the interface between the two media is considered to be imperfect. The closed-form expressions of normal and shear stresses are calculated for both media by applying suitable boundary conditions and perturbation techniques. With the help of numerical examples, graphs have been plotted to show the effects of irregularity parameters, imperfect interface, initial stresses, friction coefficients, and the width of the layer on the shear and normal stresses of both media.
