Research Summary

Professor Adams has conducted research on a number of interesting and different problems in applied mechanics. These include the determination of the significance of non-square-root singularities in fracture mechanics and in adhesive contacts; frictional slip associated with bonded contacts; prying action in bolted joints; appropriate boundary conditions for beams/plates with one-sided and two-sided constraints; elastic wrinkling; and many other areas described under other publication categories.
