in this paper, an analytical solution for computing the linear plastic stresses and critical pressure in a fgm hollow cylinder under the internal pressure due to non-axisymmetric loads is developed. it has been assumed that the modulus of elasticity was varying through thickness of the fgm material according to a power law relationship. the poisson's ratio was considered constant throughou...

Abstract In this paper, we present a new sufficient condition for the oscillation of all solutions linear delay differential equations. The obtained result improves known conditions in literature. We also give an example to illustrate applicability and strength over ones.

In this paper we consider the exact WKB analysis of a second-order non-homogeneous linear ordinary differential equation with a large parameter. We give a geometric criterion which guarantees the Borel summability of formal solutions of a non-homogeneous equation; this criterion is described in terms of exact steepest descent paths introduced in [AKT2]. An example related to the BNR equation ([...

The design of retaining walls depends on the magnitude of active pressure exerted from the backfill. Therefore, estimating the scale of this pressure is a fundamental factor in the design. In this study, to assess the active earth pressure, a rigid retaining wall was built capable of translating and/or rotating with adjustable speed. Further, several physical tests were conducte...
