In a perforated domain, we consider reaction-diffusion system with rapidly oscillating terms in the equations and boundary conditions. No Lipschitz condition is imposed, so uniqueness of solution to corresponding initial-boundary value problem not guaranteed. We prove that trajectory attractors weakly converge homogenized systems strange term (potential).

in this paper, the solution of a moving volterra-type screw dislocation in an orthotropic layer, bonded between two piezoelectric layers is obtained using complex fourier transform. the dislocation solution is then employed as strain nuclei to derive singular integral equations for a medium weakened by multiple moving cracks. these equations, which are classified as, cauchy singular equations, ...

This paper describes the design optimization of ferrocement-laminated plate made up of reinforcing steel wire mesh(es) and cement mortar. For the improvement of the designing process, the plate is modeled as a multi-layer medium, dividing the ferrocement plate into layers of mortar and ferrocement. The mortar layers are assumed to be isotropic in nature and the ferrocement layers are assumed to...

In this work an alternative approach to the modelling of plates with a large number of holes, is presented. By means of plate theory, it is shown that perforated plates can be modelled by conventional orthotropic plates with modified elastic properties. The modification of the elastic constants is derived by equalising the strain-energy of the perforated and the orthotropic plate. The model obt...

An accurate estimate of thermal stresses in multilayered microelectronics structures along the bonded interfaces is crucial for design and prediction of delamination-related failures. Compared with a numerical method, analytical closed-form solution can offer a more rapid method to obtain the stresses at the interfaces. An analytical model for ply-level sub-laminate analysis is investigated in ...

In this work, an analytical study on the bending stiffnesses of corrugated board has been performed. Formulations to calculate the bending stiffnesses D11, D22, D12, and D66 of the equivalent plate representing the corrugated board have been established, and then compared to expressions suggested by other investigators. Several methods for modeling the shape of the corrugated orthotropic medium...

this paper presents an exact analytical solution for two-dimensional conductive heat transfer in spherical composite pressure vessels .the vessels are in spherical shape and fibers are winded in circumferential direction. the analytical solution is obtained under the general boundary conditions which consist of convection, conduction and radiation inside/outside of vessel. the heat transfer equ...

The implementation and evaluation of a high fidelity material model for dry fabrics is the main objective of this paper. Inflatable Aerodynamic Decelerators (IADs) and other airinflated structures quite often utilize woven fabrics due to their lightweight and high loading carrying capabilities. Design optimization of these inflated structures relies on a detailed understanding of the woven fabr...
