in this study, dynamic buckling of embedded laminated nanocomposite plates is investigated. the plates are reinforced with single-walled carbon nanotubes (swcnts) where to obtain the equivalent material properties of them, mori-tanaka model is applied. based on the sinusoidal shear deformation theory (ssdt), the motion equations are derived using energy method and hamilton's principal. the...

The purpose of this work is to study the effect of oscillatory MHD blood flow in stenosed artery. The analytical and numerical results are obtained for oscillatory MHD blood flow, which is assumed to be a Newtonian fluid. It was also assumed that the surface roughness is of cosine shaped and the maximum height of roughness is negligible, compared with the radius of un-constricted tube. The flui...

In structural health monitoring (SHM), a network of embedded sensors permanently bonded to the structure is used to monitor the presence and extent of damage. The sensors can actively interrogate the structure through ultrasonic waves. Among the ultrasonic waves, Lamb waves are quite convenient because they can propagate at large distances in plates and then interrogate a large area. Lamb waves...

this study investigates natural frequency analysis of an fg composite rectangular plate partially contacting with a bounded fluid. the material properties are assumed to be varying continuously through the thickness direction according to a simple power law distribution in terms of volume fraction of material constituents. wet dynamic transverse displacements of the plate are approximated by a ...

this paper presents simplified hydrodynamics model for a biomimetic robot fish based on quantitative morphological and kinematic parameters of crangiform fish. the motion of four pangasius sanitwongsei with different length and swimming speed were recorded by the digital particle image velocimetry (dpiv) and image processing methods and optimal coefficients of the motion equations and appropria...

in this paper free vibration analysis of two rectangular isotropic plates, which are connected to each other by two translational and rotational springs along the edges, are investigated. the equation of motion and associated boundary and continuity conditions are derived using the extended hamilton principle. to solve the eigenvalue problem, the ritz method is utilized. numerical investigation...
