The dynamic behaviour of a circular plate in contact with fluid and resting on two-parameter elastic foundations is of interest in the field of geotechnics, structure, highway, railway, oil and gas and mechanical engineering. In this work, the dynamic behaviour of circular plate in contact with fluid and resting on Winkler and Pasternak foundations is investigated. The coupled differential equa...

In this study, the mechanical buckling response of refined hyperbolic shear deformable (FG) functionally graded nanobeams embedded in an elastic foundation is investigated based on the refined hyperbolic shear deformation theory. Material properties of the FG nanobeam change continuously in the thickness direction based on the power-law model. To capture small size effects, Eringen’s nonlocal e...

in this paper effects of fractured sleepers on rail track vibration under moving wheelset have been investigated. two parallel rails of the track have been modeled as euler-bernoulli beams on elastic points as rail pads. also sleepers have been modeled as visco-elastic euler-bernoulli beams. it is assumed that, some sleepers under the rail track have been fractured and modeled by two beams. the...

Third order shear deformation theory of cylindrical shells is employed to investigate the vibration characteristics of non-homogeneous cylindrical shells surrounded by an elastic medium. The kinematic relations are obtained using the strain-displacement relations of Donnell shell theory. The shell properties are considered to be dependent on both position and thermal environment. A suitable fun...

In this paper, transverse vibrations of thin circular plates with guided edge and resting on Winkler foundation have been studied on the basis of Classical Plate Theory. Parametric investigations on the vibration of circular plates resting on elastic foundation have been carried out with respect to various foundation stiffness parameters. Twelve vibration modes are presented. The location of th...
