In this paper, size-dependent effects on the vibration behavior of Timoshenko microbeams under pre-stress loading embedded in an elastic foundation, using modified strain gradient theory (MSGT) and surface stress effects, were studied. To consider the surface stress effects, the Gurtin–Murdoch continuum mechanical approach was employed. Using Hamilton’s principle, the governing equations of mot...

Karst processes greatly complicate the construction and operation of buildings and structures. Due to the karstic deformations at different times there have been several major accidents, which analysis showed that in all cases the fundamental errors committed at different stages of building development: site selection, engineering survey, design, construction or operation of the facilities. The...

This paper deals with an analytical approach to predict the nonlinear buckling behavior of functionally graded graphene-reinforced composite laminated cylindrical shells under axial compressive load surrounded by Pasternak’s elastic foundation in a thermal environment. Piece-wise functionally graded graphene-reinforced, composite layers are sorted with different types of graphene distribution. ...

A trigonometric plate theory is assessed for the static bending analysis of plates resting on Winkler elastic foundation. The theory considers the effects of transverse shear and normal strains. The theory accounts for realistic variation of the transverse shear stress through the thickness and satisfies the traction free conditions at the top and bottom surfaces of the plate without using shea...

In this study, the free vibration analysis of smart vibration control (SVC) systems based on Reddy – Levinson model and modified strain gradient theory is developed. This system consist of a micro beam at middle and two magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) composite micro beams at top and bottom which connected by enclosing elastic medium and simulated by Winkler and Pasternak foundation. The effects ...

This study combines the isogeometric approach (IGA) and refined plate theory (RPT) with two variables to investigate buckling behavior of magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) foam plates resting on an elastic foundation. The pores in MEE are arranged three patterns: uniform, symmetric, asymmetric distributions across thickness. foundation supported by Winkler Pasternak is utilized computational model....
