Kachanov’s simplifiedmodel ofmicrocrack interaction is applied to an investigationof the behaviour of a cracked body under predominantly compressive periodic loading, so that the cracks experience periods of closure and slip, with frictional dissipation. The model is shown to be equivalent to a discrete elastic frictional systemwith each crack representing one node. Theorems and algorithms from...

SVC is one of the most significant devices in FACTS technology, which is used in parallel compensation, enhancing the transient stability, limiting the low frequency oscillations and, etc. designing a proper controller is effective in operation of SVC. In this paper, a simplified analysis of the effect of a SVC on the stability of a Single Machine Infinite Bus (SMIB) system is presented. The SV...

In this article, the problem of time-dependent stress redistribution of a piezomagnetic rotating thick-walled cylinder under an axisymmetric hygro-thermo-magneto-electro-mechanical loading is analyzed analytically for the condition of plane strain. Using the constitutive equations, a differential equation is found in which there are creep strains. Primarily, eliminating creep strains, an analyt...
