Abstract-The fundamental solutions and the boundary element method for obtaining numerical solutions of nonlinear Reissner plates on an elastic foundation are presented in the paper. The derivation of the fundamental solutions is mainly based on two of Hu’s functions and the resolution method of differential operator. An incremental form of the boundary integral equations is suggested to achiev...

Abstract – In this study, the static analysis of a multi-bay coupled shear wall on an elastic foundation, having any number of stiffening beams is studied using the continuous connection method (CCM). The shear wall is considered to be made up of a finite number of sections in the vertical direction, with or without stiffening beams between each pair of consecutive sections. This method of anal...

In this article, electro-thermo nonlocal nonlinear vibration and instability of viscous-fluid-conveying double–walled boron nitride nanotubes (DWBNNTs) embedded on Pasternak foundation are investigated. The DWBNNT is simulated as a Timoshenko beam (TB) which includes rotary inertia and transverse shear deformation in the formulation. Considering electro-mechanical coupling, the nonlinear govern...

This study analyzes the free vibration, forced vibration, resonance, and stress wave propagation of orthotropic sandwich plates made of functionally graded materials (FGMs). Dynamic analyses are conducted using a mesh-free method based on first-order shear deformation theory and the shape functions constructed using moving least squares approximation. The sandwich plates are rested on a Pastern...

A proof-theoretic characterization of logical languages that form suitable bases for Prolog-like programming languages is provided. This characterization is based on the principle that the declarative meaning of a logic program, provided by provability in a logical system, should coincide with its operational meaning, provided by interpreting logical connectives as simple and fixed search instr...

Free and forced bending vibration of damped nonlocal nano-beams resting on an elastic foundation is investigated. Two types damping models, namely, strain-rate-dependent viscous velocity-dependent are considered. A frequency-dependent dynamic finite element method developed to obtain the response. Frequency-adaptive complex-valued shape functions used for derivation stiffness matrix. It shown t...
