An innovative technique, called conversion, is introduced to model circumferential cracks in thin cylindrical shells. The semi-analytical finite element method applied investigate the modal deformation of cylinder. including crack divided into three sub-elements with four nodes which stiffness matrix enriched. characteristics are included relations through conversion matrices and a rotational s...

The drag exerted on an object moving in a granular medium is subject to many studies: dry grains, it depends the stress – often due gravity inside grains. For Froude numbers less than 10, independent of velocity. In immersed proportional apparent weight grains and both velocity fluid viscosity. this paper, cylinder flow simulated with multi-scale FEM-DEM model. Janssen saturation effect before ...

In the present study, the magnetic field effects of the elastic response of the polymeric piezoelectric cylinder reinforced with the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are studied. The cylinder is subjected to an internal pressure, a constant electric potential difference at the inner and outer surfaces, and the thermal and magnetic fields. The Mori-Tanaka model is used for obtaining the equivalent materi...

The present paper provides a semi-analytical solution to obtain the displacements and stresses in a functionally graded material (FGM) rotating thick cylindrical shell with clamped ends under non-uniform pressure. Material properties of cylinder are assumed to change along the axial direction according to a power law form. It is also assumed that the Poisson’s ratio is constant. Given the exist...

Polypropylene is one of the most common, fastest growing and versatile thermoplastics currently used to produce tanks and chemical piping systems. Even at room temperature creep is considerable for polypropylene products. The creep behavior of strains, stresses, and displacement rates is investigated in a thick-walled cylinder made of polypropylene reinforced by functionally graded (FG) multi-w...

Time-dependent creep analysis is crucial for the performance and reliability of piezoactuators used for high-precision positioning and load-bearing applications. In this study history of stresses, deformations and electric potential of hollow rotating cylinders made of functionally graded piezoelectric material (FGPM), e.g., PZT_7A have been investigated using Mendelson’s method of successive e...

In geographical routing algorithms, mobile nodes rely on geographical position to make routing judgments. Researchers frequently discuss such routing algorithms in (2D) space. However, in reality, mobile nodes spread in (3D) space. In this paper the authors present four new 3D geographical-based routing algorithms Cylinder, Greedy-Cylinder, Cluster-Cylinder, and Greedy-cluster-Cylinder. In Cyli...
