This article traces the development of applied mechanics and its relation to science and engineering by reviewing first the history of mechanics from 1600 to 1900, the physics of the 19th century, and the engineering education in the same period. The review is followed by a discussion on modern physics and modern engineering, and the formation of applied mechanics as a discipline in science and one in engineering, which is classified into 94 subjects in 10 categories by Applied Mechanics Reviews. The article concludes with a chart to summarize the relation between science and engineering, and the interactions of applied mechanics with other disciplines. There are 15 references included in this article.Originally published in Applied Mechanics Reviews, Vol. 51, No. 2, February 1998read more

Scattering of sh-waves by an interacting interface linear crack and a circular cavity near bimaterial interface
Liu Dian-kui,Lin Hong +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an analytical method is developed for scattering of SH-waves and dynamic stress concentration by an interacting interface crack and a circular cavity near the bimaterial interface, where a suitable Green's function is contructed, which is the fundamental solution of the displacement field for an elastic half space with a circular cavities impacted by an out-plane harmonic line source loading at the horizontal surface.

Analysis of dynamic stress intensity factors for interfacial crack near shallow circular inclusion in bi-material half-space to SH wave
TL;DR: In this article, an analytical approach is used to investigate the SH-wave scattering problems of the bi-material half-space including a circular inclusion embedded and an interfacial crack, and numerical results for dynamic stress intensity factors are presented graphically considering the factors of the crack length, the incident wave number, the inclusion defect and the different media parameters.
