This paper presents a finite element based numerical study on controlling the postbuckling behavior of thin-walled cylindrical shells under axial compression. With the increasing interest of various disciplines for harnessing elastic instabilities in materials and mechanical systems, the postbuckling behavior of thin-walled cylindrical shells may have a new role to design materials and structur...

In this paper, static and dynamic behavior of a varactor of a micro-phase shifter under DC, step DC and AC voltages and effects of the residual stress on the phase diagram have been studied. By presenting a mathematical modeling, Galerkin-based step by step linearization method (SSLM) and Galerkin-based reduced order model have been used to solve the governing static and dynamic equations, resp...

This is one of several papers in which we explore the interrelationships among certain categories that can be taken as models for spectra and (highly structured) ring spectra. In this paper, we study certain categories of “diagram ring spectra” that are isomorphic to corresponding categories of “functors with smash product (FSP’s)”. The notion of an FSP was introduced by Bökstedt [2], and his u...
