Surface laminations are classic closed sets of disjoint curves in surfaces. We give here a full description of how to obtain codings of such laminations when they are non-orientable by using lamination languages, i.e. specific linear complexity languages of two-way infinite words. We also compare lamination languages with symbolic laminations, i.e. the coding counterparts of algebraic laminations.

A trigonometric plate theory is assessed for the static bending analysis of plates resting on Winkler elastic foundation. The theory considers the effects of transverse shear and normal strains. The theory accounts for realistic variation of the transverse shear stress through the thickness and satisfies the traction free conditions at the top and bottom surfaces of the plate without using shea...

Recently the author has presented a new approach to solving coefficient problems for holomorphic functions based on deep features of Teichmüller spaces. It involves Bers isomorphism theorem spaces punctured Riemann surfaces. The aim present paper is provide applications this and extend indicated results more general classes functions.

In 4], Keen and Series analysed the theory of pleating coordinates in the context of the Riley slice of Schottky space R, the deformation space of a genus two handlebody generated by two parabolics. This theory aims to give a complete description of the deformation space of a holomor-phic family of Kleinian groups in terms of the bending lamination of the convex hull boundary of the associated ...

Abstract. Thin-walled mechanical components, such as beams, plates and shells, are widely used structural components in several engineering fields, particular mechanical, aeronautical aerospace sectors. The purpose of this work is to analyse the cross-ply bending behaviour cylindrical spherical shell structures using finite element method. Hence, numerical models, realized commercial software, ...

In this paper, lateral stability analysis of fiber-metal laminated (FML) doubly-symmetric tapered I-beams with symmetrical lay-up for all section walls is perused by presenting a new finite element solution. Vlasov’s thin-walled beam theory utilized to consider the bending–twisting coupling effect. Based on classical lamination as well energy method, total potential derived flexural displacemen...

Bistability is exhibited by an object when it can be resting in two stable equilibrium states. Certain composite laminates exhibit bistability having curvatures of opposite sign with the axes curvature perpendicular to each other. These actuated from one state The actuation original post-cure shape second called as ‘snap-through’ and reverse ‘snap-back’. This phenomenon used applications for mo...
