The model of a fracture process zone near the tip of a mode I crack in a nonlinear elastic body is proposed. Using the numerical
solution of an appropriate boundary-value problem, the effect of the fracture process zone on a crack opening displacement
is examined

An algorithm for the identification of a stationary linear system from sampled data on a transient process is presented. The
algorithm allows the original problem to be decomposed into two problems: finding the roots of the characteristic polynomial
and determining the amplitudes of the respective modes. A special objective function permits increasing the accuracy of identification

The natural frequencies and modes of a flexible elastic ring fixed at one point are determined numerically by solving an eigenvalue
problem for the differential operator of the equation of its motion. The ring models a large circular antenna that slowly
expands under zero gravity. Bending and torsional vibrations in a plane perpendicular to the antenna plane are studied

It is proved that fractional exponential hereditary kernels of nonlinear viscoelasticity can be used to evaluate creep strains
and stress relaxation. A nonlinear theory of viscoelasticity with time-independent nonlinearity described as a nonlinear curve
of instantaneous elastoplastic deformation is used. The calculated results are validated against experimental data on the
viscoelastic deformation of laminated and unidirectional fibrous composites and their components under the conditions of constant
stresses, complete unloading, incremental loading, pure torsion, and constant strains

A method for determining the natural frequencies and modes of ribbed shallow shells with rectangular planform on an elastic
foundation is developed. The method takes into account the discrete arrangement of the ribs. A shallow spherical shell with
square planform is considered as example to analyze the effect of the number of ribs and the Winkler and Pasternak coefficients
of subgrade reaction on the natural frequencies and modes. It is recommended to take into account the discrete arrangement
of ribs when they are few

The perturbation method (small-parameter method) is used to analyze the propagation of a cylindrical wave in a quadratic nonlinear
hyperelastic material described by the classical Murnaghan model. The exact representation of the first-order solution in
terms of squared Hankel functions of zero and first orders and their product is derived. A simplification of the new solution
is considered

The theory of long-term damage is generalized to particulate composite materials with physically nonlinear components. The
damage of the components is modeled by randomly dispersed micropores. The damage criterion for a microvolume is characterized
by its stress-rupture strength. It is determined by the dependence of the time to brittle failure on the difference between
the equivalent stress and its limit, which is the ultimate strength, according to the Huber–Mises criterion, and assumed to
be a random function of coordinates. An equation of damage (porosity) balance in the components at an arbitrary time is formulated.
Algorithms of calculating the time dependence of are developed. The effect on the nonlinearity of the matrix on the damage
and macrodeformation curves is examined

The elastoplastic state of thin conical shells with a circular hole is analyzed assuming finite deflections. The distributions
of stresses, strains, and displacements along the hole boundary and in the zone of their concentration are studied. The stress–strain
state of shells around the hole under axial tension is analyzed taking into account two nonlinear factors. The numerical results
are presented as plots and tables
