Abstract This work deals with the analysis of free vibration problem elastic delaminated composite beams. The mainly consists a model development and improvement stage based on first-order shear deformable beam theory. A general is developed taking bending-extensional coupling into account. specified built-in end, one novelties this consideration fact that cannot be fixed rigidly in reality. Th...

In the present paper, a novel unconstrained higher-order theory (UCHOT) is applied to analyse free vibration of cylindrical sandwich shells with nanocomposite face sheets reinforced graphene platelets. UCHOT considers shear and thickness deformations. It assumed that cylinder includes soft core which embedded between functionally graded platelets composites (FG-GPLRC). FG-GPLRC sheet consists s...

Abstract: According to the Winkler assumption, the form of the pile constraint could be simplified as bottom fixing and top free. Considering the influence from resistance of soil around pile, the equations on calculated length for buckling stability of steel pipe pile when the portions along the pile length were constrained in the uniform foundation and the layered foundation were respectively...

in this research, the surface stress effect on the nonlocal vibration of piezoelectric square plate reinforced by single walled carbon nanotubes (swcnts) based on classical plate theory (cpt) and first order shear deformation theory (fsdt) is presented. the elastic properties of piezoelectric nanocomposite plate are estimated by eshelby-mori-tanaka and the extended mixture rule approaches. the ...

Gels are used to design bilayered structures with high residual stresses. The swelling of a thin layer on a compliant substrate leads to compressive stresses. The post-buckling of this layer is investigated experimentally; the wavelengths and amplitudes of the resulting modes are measured. A simplified model with a self-avoiding rod on a Winkler foundation is in semi-quantitative agreement with...

it is well-known that the behavior of soil-structure systems can be well described using a limited number of non-dimensional parameters. this is the outcome of researches based on the premise that the foundation is bonded to the ground. here, it is shown the concept can be extended to systems with foundation uplift. a set of non-dimensional parameters are introduced which controls the main feat...
