In this paper, stress and strain equations are developed for the left ventricle mainly to nd the innuence of the ventricle's shape on wall stresses. Here, the ventricle is assumed to be a thick-walled truncated conical shell and large elastic deformation theory is applied. Our model is compared to corresponding results approximating the left ventricle as a spherical shell. Clinically relevant p...

This study is limited to study of buckling analysis of a sandwich cylindrical shell with functionally graded face sheets and homogenous core. High-order sandwich plate theory is improved by considering the in-plane stresses of the core that usually are ignored in the analysis of sandwich structures. Assume that all properties of the face sheets and the core are temperature dependent. Strain com...

Closed-cell cellular materials gained tremendous interest in their application aerospace, shipbuilding and defence industries due to exceptional impact energy absorption lightweight characteristics. To assess the suitability of these practical utilisation, a proper characterisation dynamic loading is necessary. This paper investigates closed-cell aluminium foam's deformation behaviour low-veloc...
