In the present research, the mixed-mode fracture mechanics analysis in a plate with central hole under tensile loading is considered. It is assumed that a plate containing two symmetrical hole-edge cracks is bonded with two dissimilar planes. The stress intensity factors at the crack tips are calculated. The problem is modeled in Casca software and this model is analyzed with Franc software. Th...

Stark broadening of Zeeman absorption lines caused by inhomogeneous electric fields in highly compensated Ge has been studied by means of far-infrared magneto-optical absorption spectroscopy measurements. A number of transmutation-doped Ge single crystals with a systematically varying compensation ratio were employed. The broadening of the full width at half maximum ~FWHM! of an absorption line...

We report on an experimental study of the self-frequency detuning in wave mixing oscillators with the photorefractive barium titanate crystal. We show its dependence on a dc electric field on the crystal, optical phases in the oscillator cavity, and light intensity in the crystal. This resolves many aspects of previously observed and unexplained self-frequency detuning effects with similar osci...

Finite element method (FEM) is one of the most famous methods which has many applications in varies studies such as the study of crack propagation in engineering structures. However, unless extremely fine meshes are employed, problem arises in accurately modelling the singular stress field in the singular element area around the crack tip. In the present study, the crack growth simulation has b...

A laser beam can be characterized by measuring its spatial intensity profile at points perpendicular to its direction of propagation. The spatial intensity profile is the variation of intensity as a function of distance from the center of the beam, in a plane perpendicular to its direction of propagation. It is often convenient to think of a light wave as being an infinite plane electromagnetic...

The stress field near the tip of a crack in a plate subjected to membrane and bending loads and undergoing large deflections, is investigated by performing an asymptotic analysis in the context of von Karman plate theory. It is demonstrated that the character of the near tip fields is identical to those of the linear plate theory. However, the determination of the crack tip stress intensity fac...
