In this paper, Asymmetric buckling analysis of functionally graded (FG) Circular plates with temperature dependent property that subjected to the uniform radial compression and thermal loading is investigated. This plate is on an elastic medium that simulated by Winkler and Pasternak foundation. Mechanical properties of the plate are assumed to vary nonlinearly by temperature change. The equili...

in this research, the surface stress effect on the nonlocal vibration of piezoelectric square plate reinforced by single walled carbon nanotubes (swcnts) based on classical plate theory (cpt) and first order shear deformation theory (fsdt) is presented. the elastic properties of piezoelectric nanocomposite plate are estimated by eshelby-mori-tanaka and the extended mixture rule approaches. the ...

it is well-known that the behavior of soil-structure systems can be well described using a limited number of non-dimensional parameters. this is the outcome of researches based on the premise that the foundation is bonded to the ground. here, it is shown the concept can be extended to systems with foundation uplift. a set of non-dimensional parameters are introduced which controls the main feat...

with the expanding demand on application of magnesium alloys in automotive and aerospace industries, robust methods in fatigue characterization of commercially available magnesium alloys with high specific strength is anticipated. in this paper, rotating bending load controlled tests has been studied on specimens machined from an extrusion piece of az31b. due to asymmetric and anisotropic behav...

A nite element formulation to deal with the friction contact problem between an elastic body and a rigid foundation is presented. An augmented Lagrangian method, which incorporates two Lagrange multipliers and a slack variable in the constraint equation, is developed. In this method, the solution is achieved through a Newton-Raphson monolithic iterative strategy and leads to simple implementati...
