It is of great significance to understand the underlying mechanism of buckling-driven wrinkles in graphene monolayer due to its applications in nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS). In previous macroscopic studies based on continuum theory, the chirality-dependent buckling in graphene monolayer is considered as neglectable. However, we found that the growth of buckling-driven wrinkles in graphe...

understanding how a cutout influences the load bearing capacity and buckling behavior of cylindrical shells is fundamental in the design of structural components used in automobiles, aircrafts, and marine structures. in this article, simulation and analysis of steel cylindrical shells with various lengths, include quasi elliptical cutout, subjected to axial compression were systematically carri...

The dynamic buckling of thin isotropic thermoviscoplastic cylindrical shells compressed with a uniform axial velocity prescribed at the end faces is investigated analytically and numerically. In the first part of the paper, the stressed/deformed state of a shell is assumed to have buckled if infinitesimal perturbations superimposed upon it grow. Cubic algebraic equations are derived for both th...

Potential sensitivity of the buckling behavior of cracked composite cylindrical shells to service life cracking is explored by carrying out linear buckling analysis. Computational models of cracked composite cylindrical shells are developed by exploiting a special meshing scheme in which the element size is reduced incrementally from the element size employed in the uncracked region by approach...

An experiment investigating the elastic local buckling response of trough girders composed of thin profiled steel sheeting has been undertaken Beam tests were performed to promote initial local buckling in a region of constant moment in the elastic range of structural response. The results of the experiments were compared with an elastic complex semi-analytical finite strip method of analysis, ...

This paper presents an analytical method to calculate the buckling stress of a rectangular thin plate under nonuniform applied axial stresses. Two cases are considered, buckling of a plate simply supported on all four sides and buckling of a plate simply supported on three sides with one unloaded edge free and the opposite unloaded edge rotationally restrained. These two cases illustrate the in...

Piezoelectric nanobeams having circular, rectangular and hexagonal cross-sections are synthesized and used in various Nano structures; however, piezoelectric nanobeams with hexagonal cross-sections have not been studied in detail. In particular, the physical mechanisms of the surface effect and the role of surface stress, surface elasticity and surface piezoelectricity have not been discussed t...

Magneto-electro-elastic materials are multiphase smart materials that exhibit coupling among electrical, magnetic and mechanical energy fields. Due to this ability, they have been the topic of numerous research in the past decade. In this paper, buckling behavior of a multiphase magneto-electro-elastic rectangular plate with simply supported boundary conditions is investigated, based on Reddy’s...

In this paper, simulation and analysis of thin steel cylindrical shells with elliptical cutouts under oblique loading were studied using finite element method. First, the numerical results were validated by the results of experimental test performed by an INSTRON 8802 servo hydraulic machine. Also, the effect of cutout angle (θ), cutout size, cutout position (L0/L) and cutout aspect ratios (b/a...

The presence of the delamination causes reductions in the bending stiffness which in turn leads to the undesirable loss in the compressive buckling and post-buckling strength. Thus, it is of chief importance to investigate the compressive behavior of composites with delaminations. Anastasiadis et al. analyzed the buckling and postbuckling behavior of delaminated composite laminates with a throu...
