Mudstone rich in clay minerals exhibits an obvious water-induced weakening effect, and the mechanical properties of mudstone are significantly affected by groundwater. To investigate effect water on characteristics at microscale, a series uniaxial compression nanoindentation tests were conducted specimens different moisture contents. Microscale measurements upscaled to estimate corresponding ma...

In this contribution, a probabilistic micromechanics damage framework is presented to predict the macroscopic stress–strain response and progressive in unidirectional glass-reinforced thermoplastic polymer composites. Motivated by different failure modes observed experimentally, mechanism vicinity of fibers (namely, interphase) characterized initiating growing voids. The mechanisms can be formu...

A new analytical formulation for the modeling of piezoresistive fiber-reinforced composites with percolation-type behavior is presented in this work. Firstly, we develop a closed-form solution electrical conductivity oriented short-fiber reinforced by using generalized spherical harmonics series expansions Mori-Tanaka (MT) model. Piezoresistive effects are accounted means three distinct mechani...

This article defines the concept of relocating the program part of a finite partial state of SCM (data part stays intact). The relocated program differs from the original program in that all jump instructions are adjusted by the relocation factor and other instructions remain unchanged. The main theorem states that if a program computes a function then the relocated program computes the same fu...

At least two types of pyruvate kinase (ATPpyruvate phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.40) have been identified in rat liver, which were named type L (liver) and type M (muscle) on the basis of their immunological properties (Tanaka, Harano, Morimura & Mori, 1965). The L-type enzyme is allosterically activated by fructose 1,6-diphosphate (Taylor & Bailey, 1967) and is subject to hormonal and dietary c...

We present Tanaka’s prolongation procedure for filtered structures on manifolds discovered in [Tanaka N., J. Math. Kyoto. Univ. 10 (1970), 1–82] in a spirit of Singer– Sternberg’s description of the prolongation of usual G-structures [Singer I.M., Sternberg S., J. Analyse Math. 15 (1965), 1–114; Sternberg S., Prentice-Hall, Inc., Englewood Cliffs, N.J., 1964]. This approach gives a transparent ...

Static deformations, and free and forced vibrations of a thick rectangular functionally graded elastic plate are analyzed by using a higherorder shear and normal deformable plate theory (HOSNDPT) and a meshless local Petrov–Galerkin (MLPG) method. All components of the stress tensor are computed from equations of the plate theory. The plate material, made of two isotropic constituents, is assum...
