An accurate nonlinear hygrothermal-electro-elastic (HTEE) buckling analysis of piezoelectric fiber-reinforced composite cylindrical shells subjected to the coupled loading effects axial compression and hydrostatic pressure was established by considering nonuniform prebuckling effect. Nonlinear governing equations were derived based on higher-order shear deformation theory Novozhilov’s shell the...

The designers of civil engineering structures often have to face the problem reliability complex computational analyses performed most with Finite Element Method (FEM). Any assessment such is difficult and can only be approximate. present paper puts forward a new method verification validation structural upon an illustrative example dome strengthened by circumferential ribs along upper lower ed...

Bell-shaped vibratory angular rate gyro (abbreviated as BVG) is a new type Coriolis vibratory gyro that was inspired by Chinese traditional clocks. The resonator fuses based on a variable thickness axisymmetric multicurved surface shell. Its characteristics can directly influence the performance of BVG. The BVG structure not only has capabilities of bearing high overload, high impact and, compa...

The main spectral property of a Sonic Crystal structure is a notable sound attenuation related to the Bragg band gaps. This effect is observed in air and makes Sonic Crystals effective noise barriers in a particular frequency range. This performance can be extended to a wider range of frequencies by introducing scatterers supporting multiple resonances of various types. In this paper the sonic ...

The purpose of this study is to determine more accurately the marginal stability condition for axisymmetric waves since it is believed that an unstable axisymmetric wave could affect the amplification of spiral waves. An axisymmetric wave with a gradient term of velocity dispersion ( surface density ) is derived. Analysis of this axisymmetric wave with a gradient term for our own galaxy shows t...

The champagnemodel which describes the dynamical evolution of HII regions in the presence of a density discontinuity is reexamined including the effects of stellar winds. We consider stars with widely different ratios of ionizing flux to stellar wind power, as well as different distances between the star and the boundary of its parental molecular cloud. We also performed simulations with reduce...

In this talk we will show how the mechanical response of an elastic film is affected by subtle geometric properties of its mid-surface. The crucial role here is played by spaces of weakly regular (Sobolev) isometries or infinitesimal isometries. These are the deformations of the mid-surface preserving its metric up to a certain prescribed order of magnitude, and hence contributing to the stretc...
