In this paper, the problem of calculating the stress intensity factor (SIF) for an orthotropic thick-walled cylinder with a small radial crack subject to internal pressure is considered. The crack is assumed to be an edge crack on the external radius of the cylinder. The stress intensity factor is calculated by superposition of an uncracked cylinder with uniform stress distribution and a cylind...

Safety analysis has been done for the torsion of a functionally graded thick-walled  circular cylinder under internal and external pressure subjected to thermal loading. In order to determine stresses the concept of Seth’s transition theory based on generalized principal strain measure has been used. This theory simplifies the set of mechanical equations by mentioning the order of the measure of...

In the present paper, an exact solution for transient response of an infinitely long functionally graded thick-walled cylinder subjected to dynamic pressures at the boundary surfaces is presented for arbitrary initial conditions. The cylinder is assumed to have a plane-strain condition and the dynamic pressures are assumed to be imposed uniformly and axis...

In this article, thermo-elastic-behavior of a thick-walled cylinder made from a polystyrene nanocomposite reinforced with functionally graded (FG) single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) was carried out in radial direction while subjected to a steady state thermal field. The SWCNTs were assumed aligned, straight with infinite length and a uniform layout. Two types of variations in the volume fr...

in this research, static stresses analysis of boron nitride nano - tube reinforced composite (bnntrc) cylinder made of poly - vinylidene fluoride (pvdf) subjected to non - axisymmetric thermo - mechanical loads and applied voltage is developed. the surrounded elastic medium is modelled by pasternak foundation. composite structure is modeled based on piezoelectric fiber reinforced composite (pfr...

The negative pressure in the extradural space is the result of the interaction of hydrostatic forces created between the vertebral canal (a stiff-walled cylinder) and the dura mater, with its content of cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF), which behaves as a cylinder that can collapse according to the position of the subject. In order to corroborate this hypothesis, we have designed a model formed by a ...

In this study, the non-linear creep behaviour of a thick-walled cylinder made of stainless steel 316 is investigated using a semi-analytical method. The thick-walled cylinder is under a uniform internal pressure and a non-axisymmetric thermal field as a function of the radial and circumferential coordinates. For the high temperature and stress levels, creep phenomena play a major role in stress...

In this article, magneto-thermo-elastic stresses and perturbation of magnetic field vector are analyzed for a thick-walled cylinder made from polystyrene, reinforced with functionally graded (FG) single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in radial direction, while subjected to an axial and uniform magnetic field as well as a transient thermal field. Generalized plane strain state is considered in...

Non-Symmetrical Plastic Collapse Modes of a Symmetrically Loaded Circular Cylinder. P18stic collapse modes of a thick-walled homogeneous cylinder under circularly-symmetrical loading (internal and external normal pressures) are analyzed. Ideal plasticity, I-IUBEIt-~ISES-HENC]~Y yield condition, incompressibility and plane strain conditions are assumed. The possibility of existence of non-syrm~e...

Within the past decades extensive research has shed light into the structure, reactivity and properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) [1–3]. This new carbon allotrope is theoretically constructed by rolling up a graphene sheet into a cylinder with the hexagonal rings joining seamlessly. Commonly, carbon nanotubes are classified into single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) which consist of one cyli...
