In this article, the influence of hydrostatic stress and gravity on a clamped- free non homogeneous magneto electro elastic plate of polygonal cross sections is studied using linear theory of elasticity. The equations of motion based on two-dimensional theory of elasticity are applied under the plane strain assumption of prestressed and gravitated magneto electro elastic plate of polygonal cros...

In this paper, free vibration analysis of orthotropic functionally graded material (FGM) cylinders was carried out by a Mesh-Free method. In this analysis, moving least squares shape functions are used for approximation of displacement field in the weak form of equilibrium equation. Essential boundary conditions are imposed by transformation method. In this simulation, an axisymmetric model is ...

To assist in light weighting of electric vehicles by improving the volumetric and gravimetric energy density structural performance battery pack, a modelling methodology based on macro finite element model pouch cell has been developed. This treats core structure as homogeneous orthotropic honeycomb block with material being defined an fabric compressive stress elimination. The considers five c...

This paper presents a constitutive thermoviscoelastic model for thin films of linear low-density polyethylene subject to strains up to yielding. The model is based on the free volume theory of nonlinear thermoviscoelasticity, extended to orthotropic membranes. An ingredient of the present approach is that the experimentally inaccessible out-of-plane material properties are determined by fitting...

The effect of magnetic field on torsional waves propagating in non-homogeneous viscoelastic cylindrically aeolotropic material is discussed. The elastic constants and non-homogeneity in viscoelastic medium in terms of density and elastic constant is taken. The frequency equations have been derived in the form of a determinant involving Bessel functions. Dispersion equation in each case has been...

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...
