in this paper, an analytical solution for computing the linear plastic stresses and critical pressure in a fgm hollow cylinder under the internal pressure due to non-axisymmetric loads is developed. it has been assumed that the modulus of elasticity was varying through thickness of the fgm material according to a power law relationship. the poisson's ratio was considered constant throughou...

To evaluate the earth seismic response due to earthquake effects, ground response analyses are used to predict ground surface motions for development of design response spectra, to compute dynamic stresses and strains for evaluation of liquefaction hazards, and to determine the earthquake induced forces that can lead to instability of earth and earth-retaining structures. Most of the analytical...

By adopting the variational point of view, the constitutive equations of a non linear elastic plate are deduced under kinematical constraints on the admissible deformations.

Buckling and post-buckling thermomechanical deformations of a functionally graded material (FGM) Timoshenko beam resting on a two-parameter nonlinear elastic foundation and subjected to only a temperature rise have been numerically investigated with the shooting method. The material properties are assumed to vary only in the thickness direction according to a power law function. Through-the-thi...

in this paper effects of fractured sleepers on rail track vibration under moving wheelset have been investigated. two parallel rails of the track have been modeled as euler-bernoulli beams on elastic points as rail pads. also sleepers have been modeled as visco-elastic euler-bernoulli beams. it is assumed that, some sleepers under the rail track have been fractured and modeled by two beams. the...
