AbstractThis work is a supplement to the work of Sneddon on axisymmetric Boussinesq problem in 1965 in which the distributions of interior-stress fields are derived here for a punch with general profile. A novel set of mathematical procedures is introduced to process the basic elastic solutions (obtained by the method of Hankel transform, which was pioneered by Sneddon) and the solution of the dual integral equations. These processes then enable us to not only derive the general relationship of indentation depth D and total load P that acts on the punch but also explicitly obtain the general analytical expressions of the stress fields beneath the surface of an isotropic elastic half-space. The usually known cases of punch profiles are reconsidered according to the general formulas derived in this study, and the deduced results are verified by comparing them with the classical results. Finally, these general formulas are also applied to evaluate the von Mises stresses for several new punch profiles.

Fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites with thermosetting resin matrices are widely used in civil engineering (e.g. pultruded FRP plates and bars), and their thermal ageing behaviour is a concern when they are subjected to elevated temperatures (e.g. FRP chimney). In the present article, the effects of thermal ageing at 200°C and 250°C in air for up to 1000 h on mechanical properties and mechanism of the benzoxazine (Boz), bisphenol A dicyanate cyanate ester (BADCy), and 4,4′-bismaleimidodiphenyl methane (BMI) have been investigated. The effect of time in thermal ageing on structural and mechanical properties of the Boz/BMI/BADCy resin was deeply studied. The moisture absorption increases linearly with the square root of ageing time and it follows Fick’s second law. There are two main categories of reactions in thermal ageing: the first one is the post-curing process, which leads to a larger crosslinking density and a reduced interior stress; while the other is the formation of microcracks and thermal oxidation at the surface of the Boz/BMI/BADCy resin. The combination of the above factors leads to an increase–decrease variation in the mechanical properties. This work is believed to benefit the wide and safe application of a certain Boz/BMI/BADCy resin system in engineering application.
