In this paper, a nonlocal foundation model is proposed to analyze the vibration and instability of a Y-shaped single-walled carbon nanotube (Y-SWCNT) conveying fluid. In order to achieve more accurate results, fourth order beam theory is utilized to obtain strain-displacement relations. For the first time, a nonlocal model is presented based on nonlocal elasticity and the effects of nonlocal fo...

Declaration I declare that this essay is work done as part of the Part III Examination. It is the result of my own work, and except where stated otherwise, includes nothing which was performed in collaboration. No part of this essay has been submitted for a degree or any such qualification. Self-reference has been a concept which has concerned philosophers for millennia, and which gives rise to...

A new foundation is presented for the theory of subjective judgments of probability generally known as “Support Theory.” It is based on a new complementation operation that, unlike those of classical probability theory (settheoretic complementation) and classical logic (negation), does not satisfy the principle of The Law Of The Excluded Middle. Interrelationships between the new complementatio...

Is unified theory possible? Unification has been lost to sight amid the increasing fragmentation of the psychological field. Unification may be possible, nevertheless, by primary focus on two problems that are fundamental in every area. These two problems are context-stimulus interaction and stimulus-stimulus integration. In principle, both problems may be solved jointly with algebraic models o...

This study contends that corporate trust is an essential prerequisite for any for-profit organisation that wants to enable and safeguard its long-term economic and organisational performance sustainably in a competitive environment (Ingenhoff & Sommer, 2010:339). In essence, corporate trust is regarded as an outcome of the systemic behaviour of a for-profit organisation, as a result of the proc...

in this research, static stresses analysis of boron nitride nano - tube reinforced composite (bnntrc) cylinder made of poly - vinylidene fluoride (pvdf) subjected to non - axisymmetric thermo - mechanical loads and applied voltage is developed. the surrounded elastic medium is modelled by pasternak foundation. composite structure is modeled based on piezoelectric fiber reinforced composite (pfr...

Category theory provides a formal foundation for engineering modelling, as well as, mathematics and science. Both structure and behaviour, as they occur in engineering models for manufactured products and biomedicine, can be embedded as axiom sets within a mathematical formalism, called Algos. The Algos language is a two sorted first order Horn clause theory based on topos language construction...
