The rheology of bubble-bearing suspensions is investigated through a series of three-dimensional boundary integral calculations in which the effects of bubble deformation, volume fraction, and shear rate are considered. The behaviour of bubbles in viscous flows is characterized by the capillary number, Ca, the ratio of viscous shear stresses that promote deformation to surface tension stresses ...

This article investigates the static behavior of functionally graded plate under mechanical loads by using a new quasi 3D model. The theory is designated as fifth-order shear and normal deformation theory (FOSNDT). Properties of functionally graded material are graded across the transverse direction by using the rule of mixture i.e. power-law. The effect of thickness stretching is considered to...

In present study, the third-order shear deformation theory has been developed to investigate vibration analysis of FG Nano-plates based on Eringen nonlocal elasticity theory. The materials distribution regarding to the thickness of Nano-plate has been considered based on two different models of power function and exponential function. All equations governing on the vibration of FG Nano-plate ha...

Collocation methods are popular in providing numerical approximations to complicated governing equations owing to their simplicity in implementation. However, point collocation methods have limitations regarding accuracy and have been modified upon with the application of B-spline approximations. The present study reports the stress and deformation behavior of shear deformable functionally grad...
