1. Introduction
I am glad to present a recent set of papers highlighting the noteworthy properties of 1D periodic waveguides generated by a quasicrystalline sequence. The concept of canonical configuration explains how to obtain a periodic frequency spectrum and why this outcome is connected to trace mapping:

Hello all,
I am looking for the following paper: Nash, C. D. "Fatigue of self-healing structure-a generalized theory of fatigue failure." MECHANICAL ENGINEERING. Vol. 89. No. 2. 345 E 47TH ST, NEW YORK, NY 10017: ASME-AMER SOC MECHANICAL ENG, 1967.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find it anywhere. Even I ordered it through RACER but they sent the abstract to me. I would really appreciate it if someone can provide me with this paper.
regards,
Faezeh
Most of the research carried out on hypervelocity collisions, of the kind encountered in space, assume that the projectile hits a stationary target. In reality, both the target and the projectile are moving at high velocity in a non-colinear fasion. We present here a study of this phenomenon and its rfelationship with oblique impact.
A number of authors have experimentally assessed the influence of friction on adhesive contacts, and generally the contact area has been found to decrease due to tangential shear stresses at the interface. The decrease is however generally much smaller than that predicted already by the Savkoor and Briggs 1977 classical theory using “brittle” fracture mechanics mixed mode model extending the JKR (Griffith like) solution to the contact problem.

The interaction between contact area and frictional forces in adhesive soft contacts is receiving much attention in the scientific community due to its implications in many areas of engineering such as surface haptics and bioin-spired adhesives. In this work, we consider a soft adhesive sphere that is pressed against a rigid substrate and is sheared by a tangential force where the loads are transferred to the sphere through a normal and a tangential spring, representing the loading apparatus stiffness.
