In this paper, a numerical analysis of stresses and displacements in FGM thick-walled cylindrical pressure vessel under internal pressure has been presented. The elastic modulus is assumed to be varying along the longitude of the pressure vessel with an exponential function continuously. The Poisson’s ratio is assumed to be constant. Whereas most of the previous studies about FGM thick-walled p...

BACKGROUND Clinical studies indicate that in total ankle arthroplasty, postoperative implant subsidence and medial tilt become two significant concerns of the ankle replacement system, and which are associated with the contact between the bones and the talar component. Up to now, little attention has focused on the contact between the bones and the talar component. MATERIAL AND METHODS In order...

Human tympanic membrane (or eardrum) is composed of three membrane layers with collagen fibers oriented in the radial and circumferential directions, and exhibits viscoelastic behavior with membrane (or in-plane) properties different from through-thickness (or out-of-plane) properties. Due to the interaction of bundled fibers and ground substance, which is inhomogeneous, these properties could ...

Recent experiments have shown that the shear modulus of solid helium undergoes a large temperature variation in the range 20 to 200 mK, possibly due to changes in the pinning of dislocations. In this note we report on computer simulations of the elastic properties of polycrystalline solid helium. We calculate how the elastic coefficients of a sample made up of a large number of randomly oriente...

Recently, a mixed hybrid operator, generalizing the well-known Phillips operators and Baskakov-Szász type operators, was introduced. In this paper, we study Bézier variant of these new operators. We investigate the degree of approximation of these operators by means of the Lipschitz class function, the modulus of continuity, and a weighted space. We study a direct approximation theorem by means...

The polycrystalline Sn added Ni-Zn ferrites were prepared using the conventional sintering method. The monophasic nature of the samples was characterized using X-rays. The elastic behavior has been measured in the temperature range 80-410oC using the composite oscillator method. The values of Young’s and shear modulus are corrected to theoretical density using the method of Mackenzie method. Th...

The bending behavior of composites sandwich plates with multi-layered laminated face sheets has been investigated, using a new four-nodded rectangular finite element formulation based on a layer-wise theory. Both, first order and higher-order shear deformation; theories are used in order to model the face sheets and the core, respectively. Unlike any other layer-wise theory, the number of degre...

rndetermination of rock mass deformation modulus is very important in different projects, especially in civil and mining engineering works. in-situ measurements such as dilatometer, plate load and flat jack methods may be applied to determine the deformation modulus. however, these methods are very expensive and time- consuming. analytical methods are very useful approaches which can also be us...

introduction: resin composites are an important part of restorative treatment in modern dentistry. there are many trademarks available in iran market and physico-chemical properties of many of these resin composites are not evaluated yet. this study was carried out to evaluate the physico-chemical properties of four available resin composites and also to assess the effect of aging on their prop...
