Present paper is devoted to stress and deformation analyses of heated variable thickness functionally graded (FG) circular plate with clamped supported, embedded on a gradient elastic foundation and subjected to non-uniform transverse load. The plate is coupled by an elastic medium which is simulated as a Winkler- Pasternak foundation with gradient coefficients in the radial and circumferential...

Using numerical and analytical calculations we study the structure of vacancies and interstitials in twodimensional colloidal crystals. In particular, we compare the displacement fields of the defect obtained numerically with the predictions of continuum elasticity theory for a simple defect model. In such a comparison it is of crucial importance to employ corresponding boundary conditions both...

In order to explore a new approach to construct surfaces bounded by geodesics or lines of curvature, a method of surface modeling based on fourth-order partial differential equations (PDEs) is presented. Compared with the free-form surface modeling based on finding control points, PDE-based surface modeling has the following three advantages. First, the corresponding biharmonic surface can natu...

In this study, the elastic bending of sector graphene sheet has been studied based on elasticity using Eringen Nonlocal Elasticity Theory. In order to do this, the balance equations governing the sector graphene sheet have been solved in terms of displacements with regard to nonlocal relationship of stress, shear theory of the first order, and obtained linear strains using developed Kantorovich...

We develop a magneto-elastic (ME) coupling model for the interaction between the vortex lattice and crystal elasticity. The theory extends the Kogan-Clem’s anisotropic Ginzburg-Landau (GL) model to include the elasticity effect. The anisotropies in superconductivity and elasticity are simultaneously considered in the GL theory frame. We compare the field and angular dependences of the magnetiza...

We consider material bodies exhibiting a response function for free energy, which depends on both the strain and its gradient. Toupin–Mindlin’s gradient elasticity is characterized by Cauchy stress tensors, which are given by space-like Euler–Lagrange derivative of the free energy with respect to the strain. The present paper aims at developing a first version of gradient elasticity of non-Toup...

Strong differences of opinion about the labor supply elasticity prevail. One camp infers that the aggregate labor supply elasticity is large because big fluctuations in aggregate hours of work occur in response to small fluctuations in workers’ productivity over the business cycle (Prescott 2005). Another camp points to estimates of low labor supply elasticities from microeconometric studies of...

In this paper we obtain the constitutive equation for the second Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor according to the linearized finite theory of elasticity for hyperelastic constrained materials. We show that in such a theory the three stress tensors (Cauchy stress tensor, first and second Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor) differ by terms that are first order in the strain, while in classical linear th...
