The following article investigates buckling of moderately thick circular Nano plates with an orthotropic property under uniform radial compressive in-plane mechanical load. Taking into account nonlocal elasticity theory (Eringen), principle of virtual work, first order shear deformation plate theory (FSDT) and nonlinear Von-Karman strains, the governing equations are obtained based on displacem...

Bending analyses of isotropic, functionally graded, laminated composite, and sandwich beams are carried out using a quasi-3D polynomial shear and normal deformation theory. The most important feature of the proposed theory is that it considers the effects of transverse shear and transverse normal deformations. It accounts for parabolic variations in the strain/stress produced by transverse shea...

Using multi-layers method (MLM), a semi-analytical solution have been derived for determination of displacements and stresses in a thick cylindrical shell with variable thickness under non-uniform pressure. Three different profiles (convex, linear and concave) are considered for the variable thickness cylinder. Given the existence of shear stress in the thick cylindrical shell due to thickness ...

the free vibration of the lattice cylindrical composite shell reinforced with carbon nano-tubes (cnts) was studied in this study. the theoretical formulations are based on the first-order shear deformation theory (fsdt) and then by enforcing the galerkin method, natural frequencies are obtained. in order to estimate the material properties of the reinforced polymer with nano-tubes, the modified...

A new simple and accurate four-node quadrilateral element is developed for linear static and dynamic analysis of thin to moderately thick laminated, anisotropic plate/shell structures within the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT). The element is built by incorporating the strain smoothing method of mesh-free conforming nodal integration into the conventional bilinear four-node quadrila...

In this paper, the behavior of free vibrations and buckling of the sandwich panel with a flexible core was investigated using a new improved ‎high-order sandwich panel theory. In this theory, equations of motion were formulated based on shear stresses in the core. First-order shear deformation theory was ‎applied for the procedures. In this theory, for the first time, incompatibility problem of...
