This article provides a fully analytical approach for nonlinear equilibrium path of rectangular sandwich plates. The core of structure is made of symmetric cross-ply laminated composite and the outer surfaces are piezoelectric actuators which perfectly bonded to inner core. The structure is subjected to electro-thermo-mechanical loads simultaneously. One side of plate is rested on Pasternak typ...

The dynamic behaviour of a circular plate in contact with fluid and resting on two-parameter elastic foundations is of interest in the field of geotechnics, structure, highway, railway, oil and gas and mechanical engineering. In this work, the dynamic behaviour of circular plate in contact with fluid and resting on Winkler and Pasternak foundations is investigated. The coupled differential equa...

Relaxation indentation experiments using atomic force microscopy (AFM) are used to obtain viscoelastic material properties of soft samples. The quasilinear viscoelastic (QLV) model formulated by Fung (1972, "Stress Strain History Relations of Soft Tissues in Simple Elongation," in Biomechanics, Its Foundation and Objectives, Prentice-Hall, Englewood Cliffs, NJ, pp. 181-207) for uniaxial compres...

The aim of this paper is to investigate the buckling behavior porous Functionally Graded Materiel (FGM) cylindrical shells based on Donnell shell theory. In context, we develop an explicit analytical expression which takes into consideration effect porosities through thickness structure and that elastic foundation using a modified power-law function models Winkler Pasternak, respectively. We us...

Wave attenuation, filtering and guiding is an ongoing topic of scientific research, as there are many opportunities for improvement existing solutions in modern industry. One the recent advancements has been made with use non-reciprocal metamaterials.Certain properties metamaterials have them suitable various engineering fields. In this study, we investigate wave propagation behavior coupled th...

Mechanical foundations and pavements design need a perfect prediction of the response of the material to reach a reliable and safe structure. This work deals with the thermoelastic response of microbeams rested on a two-parameter viscoelastic foundation due to a magnetic field in the context of the dual - phase lag thermoelasticity model. The solutions of the governing equations are attained us...

The elastic foundation beam theory has been widely used in civil engineering, including railway, tunnel, and building foundations. With the development of fabricated structures, more beams need to be prestressed. In order explore frame with anchor-cable slope reinforcement project, this article, prestress is applied both ends beam. Then, according calculation method internal force deformation u...
