Abstract In this work, the Mellin transform method was used to obtain solutions for the stress field components in two dimensional (2D) elasticity problems in terms of plane polar coordinates. the Mellin transformation was applied to the biharmonic stress compatibility equation expressed in terms of the Airy stress potential function, and the boundary value problem transformed to an algebraic  ...

A mixed semi-analytical cum numerical approach is presented in this paper which accounts for the coupled mechanical and electrical response of piezoelectric, functionally graded (FG) and layered composite hollow circular cylinders of finite length. Under axisymmetric mechanical and electrical loadings, the three-dimensional problem (3D) gets reduced to a two-dimensional (2D) plane strain proble...

in the present work, the effect of fluid’s elasticity was investigated on the hydrodynamic instability of blasius flow. to determine the critical reynolds number as a function of the elasticity number, a two-dimensional linear temporal stability analysis was invoked. the viscoelastic fluid is assumed to obey the walters’ b fluid model for which base flow velocity profiles were fortunately avail...
