Abstract:
Design for structural integrity requires an appreciation of where stress singularities can occur in structural configurations.While there is a rich literature devoted to the identification of such singular behavior in solid mechanics,only of late has there been much in the way of corresponding identifications of flow-induced stress singularities in fluid mechanics.These recent asymptotic identifications are for a single incompressible viscous fluid:Here the asymptotic approach is extended to apply to a conf...
