Aging phenomena in the plastic response of amorphous solids are studied within the theory of shear transformation zones (STZs), which describes the kinetic rearrangement of localized defects in response to external stress. To account for the slow, nonequilibrium dynamics after a quench below the glass transition temperature, two possible models are considered. In the first model, transition rat...

A refined version of the Doi and Edwards tube model for entangled polymer liquids is presented. The model is intended to cover linear chains in the full range of deformation rates from linear to strongly nonlinear flows. The effects of reptation, chain stretch, and convective constraint release are derived from a microscopic stochastic partial differential equation that describes the dynamics o...

In this paper, an elastic constitutive model based on the Eulerian corotational rate of the logarithmic strain tensor is proposed. Using this model, the large deformation of a closed cycle containing tension, shear, compression and inverse shear is analyzed. Since the deformation path includes a closed cycle and the material is considered as an isotropic elastic material, the normal and shear c...

Porous materials are lightweight, flexible and resistant to hairline cracks, so today with the development of technology porous structure produced for use in various industries. This structure widely use in beams, plates and shells. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of porosity in axial symmetry in bending and buckling load sheet for analysis. For this purpose, a circular p...

In this study, the dynamic buckling of the embedded laminated nanocomposite plates is investigated. The plates are reinforced with the single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), and the Mori-Tanaka model is applied to obtain the equivalent material properties of them. Based on the sinusoidal shear deformation theory (SSDT), the motion equations are derived using the energy method and Hamilton's p...

In present study, the third-order shear deformation theory has been developed to investigate vibration analysis of FG Nano-plates based on Eringen nonlocal elasticity theory. The materials distribution regarding to the thickness of Nano-plate has been considered based on two different models of power function and exponential function. All equations governing on the vibration of FG Nano-plate ha...
