Abstract The use of lightweight metal cylinders is great significance to artillery weapon systems in terms significant mass reduction, service life extension, power consumption reduction and operational effectiveness. Based on the load conditions provided by classical internal ballistic theory, a high precision finite element model solved explicit integration algorithm with central difference. ...

A thick-walled elastic cylinder contracting symmetrically is used as a model for the myocardium. The active force generated by the myocardium during systolic contraction is represented by body force (force/unit volume of myocardium). A mathematical formalism previously developed and based on large deformation analysis is used to derive a quadratic equation to represent the non-linear pressure v...

Abstract. A hyperelastic constitutive law, for use in anatomically accurate finite element models of living structures, is suggested for the passive and the active mechanical properties of incompressible biological tissues. This law considers the passive and active states as a same hyperelastic continuum medium, and uses an activation function in order to describe the whole contraction phase. T...

Graphene is a one-atom thick planar monolayer of sp-bonded carbon atoms organized in a hexagonal crystal lattice. A single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) can be thought of as a graphene sheet rolled up into a seamless hollow cylinder with extremely high length to diameter ratio. Their large surface area, and exceptional optical, mechanical and electronic properties make these low-dimensional ca...

This work presents how approximate solution methods were introduced in a graduate level course of Theory of Elasticity. The three methods introduced are the finite difference method, the finite element method, and the boundary element method. All methods are exemplified by the problem of a thick-walled cylinder subject to internal pressure with an axisymmetric response. Choosing a single proble...

In this article, the problem of time-dependent stress redistribution of a piezomagnetic rotating thick-walled cylinder under an axisymmetric hygro-thermo-magneto-electro-mechanical loading is analyzed analytically for the condition of plane strain. Using the constitutive equations, a differential equation is found in which there are creep strains. Primarily, eliminating creep strains, an analyt...
