This study is aimed at evaluation of the deformation behavior of Shirasu soil (volcanic sandy soil) for reclamation and embankment construction, using elastoplastic constitutive equation based on the subloading surface model with the rotational hardening. Test results for isotropic consolidation and monotonic/cyclic loading-unloading compression with several lateral stresses under the drained c...

This paper aims to investigate the pull-in phenomenon of functionally graded (FG) capacitive nanocantilevers subjected to an electrostatic force and thermal moment due to an applied voltage and thermal shock considering intermolecular force within the framework of nonlocal elasticity theory to account for the small scale effect. The FG nano-beam is made of mixture of metal and ceramic which the...

The purpose of this paper is to analyze in detail a special nonlinear partial differential equation (nPDE) of the second order which is important in physical, chemical and technical applications. The present nPDE describes nonlinear diffusion and is of interest in several parts of physics, chemistry and engineering problems alike. Since nature is not linear intrinsically the nonlinear case is t...

The main purpose of this paper is to establish some new results onthe superstability and stability via a fixed point approach forthe Pexiderized exponential equation, i.e.,$$|f(x+y)-g(x)h(y)|leq psi(x,y),$$where $f$, $g$ and $h$ are three functions from an arbitrarycommutative semigroup $S$ to an arbitrary unitary complex Banachalgebra and also $psi: S^{2}rightarrow [0,infty)$ is afunction.
