the nonlocal nonlinear buckling of a double layer graphene sheet (dlgs) covered by zinc oxide (zno) piezoelectric layers is investigated in this study. the surrounding circumstances of the system are considered as a pasternak foundation including spring constants and a shear layer. graphene sheets are subjected to longitudinal magnetic field and biaxial forces. on the other hand, the zno piezoe...

Abstract: Consistent Imperfection Mode Method (CIMM) is a widely-used and effective numerical method to study the buckling capacity of spatial structure. CIMM used an “artificial” deformation instead of “artificial” load eccentricity to imitate the initial disturbance/imperfection for calculation of buckling load, and the basic mode obtained from linear buckling analysis could be used to simula...

In this paper, the modified Euler-Bernoulli beam model is presented to examine the influence of surface elasticity and residual surface tension on the critical force of axial buckling of nanotubes in the presence of rotary inertia. An explicit solution is derived for the buckling loads of microscaled Euler beams considering surface effects. The size-dependent buckling behavior of the nanotube d...

Thermal buckling behavior of functionally graded Euler-Bernoulli beams in thermal conditions is investigated analytically. The beam with material and thermal properties dependent on the temperature and position is considered. Based on the transformed-section method, the functionally graded beam is considered as an equivalent homogeneous Euler-Bernoulli beam with an effective bending rigidity un...

A hypothesis for the prediction of the circumferential wavenumber of buckling of the thin axially-compressed cylindrical shell is presented, based on the addition of a length effect to the classical (Koiter circle) critical load result. Checks against physical and numerical experiments, both by direct comparison of wavenumbers and via a scaling law, provide strong evidence that the hypothesis i...

In practice, the submarine's major internal equipment is mounted to welded plating foundations, but submarine designers have been looking at the recent French innovation whereby the major internal equipment is mounted to a large truss/cradle structure through point supports. The focus of this research investigates the effects of radial point supports on the stability behavior of cylindrical she...

In this paper the analysis method from Majid (1963) for steel pitched portal frames is progressed so that we can study the influence of shearing action on the overall elastic critical buckling load when members are of Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) material. For solid members of FRP the ratio of the longitudinal Young’s modulus to the shear modulus of elasticity can be significantly higher than...

in this paper, simulation and analysis of thin steel cylindrical shells with elliptical cutouts under oblique loading were studied using finite element method. first, the numerical results were validated by the results of experimental test performed by an instron 8802 servo hydraulic machine. also, the effect of cutout angle (θ), cutout size, cutout position (l0/l) and cutout aspect ratios (b/a...
