A functionally graded material beam with generalized boundary conditions is contemplated in the present study in order to examine the deformation and stress behavior under thermal and thermo-mechanical load. Three discrete combinations of functionally graded materials have been deliberate in including a wide range of materials and material properties. The variation of material properties has be...

A finite element model based on the layerwise theory is developed for the analysis of transverse cracking in cross-ply laminated beams. The numerical model is developed using the layerwise theory of Reddy, and the von Kármán type nonlinear strain field is adopted to accommodate the moderately large rotations of the beam. The finite element beam model is verified by comparing the present numeric...

In the present study, the buckling analysis of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) on the basis of a new refined beam theory is analyzed. The SWCNT is modeled as an elastic beam subjected to unidirectional compressive loads. To achieve this aim, the new proposed beam theory has only one unknown variable which leads to one equation similar to Euler beam theory and is also free from any shear ...

The article introduces cyclic dilation groups and finite affine groups for prime integers, and  as an application of this theory it presents a unified group theoretical approach for the  cyclic wavelet transform (CWT) of prime dimensional periodic signals.

employing the notions of the strong $l$-topology introduced by zhangand the $l$-frame introduced by yao  and the concept of $l$-enrichedtopological system defined in the present paper, we constructadjunctions among the categories {bf st$l$-top} of strong$l$-topological spaces, {bf s$l$-loc} of strict $l$-locales and{bf $l$-entopsys} of $l$-enriched topological systems. all of theseconcepts are ...

Expressions are derived for the cross-spectral density matrix of an electromagnetic Gaussian Schell-model beam propagating through a paraxial ABCD system. Using the recently developed unified theory of coherence and polarization of electromagnetic beams and the ABCD matrix for gradient-index fibers, we study the changes of the spectral density, of the spectral degree of polarization, and of the...

In this paper, the size dependent behavior of the gold micro-switches has been studied. This behavior becomes noticeable for a structure when the characteristic size such as thickness or diameter is close to its internal length-scale parameter. The size dependent effect is insignificant for the high ratio of the characteristic size to the length-scale parameter, which is the case of the silicon...

Classical mechanical treatment of charged particle beam optics is so far very satisfactory from a practical point of view in applications ranging from electron microscopy to accelerator technology. However, it is desirable to understand the underlying quantum mechanics since the classical treatment is only an approximation. Quantum mechanical treatment of spin2 particle beam transport through o...
