In this paper, semi-analytical method for asymmetrical eccentrically stiffened FGM cylindrical shells under external pressure and surrounded by a linear and non-linear elastic foundation is presented. The proposed linear model is based on two parameter elastic foundation Winkler and Pasternak. According to the von Karman nonlinear equations and the classical plate theory of shells, strain-displ...

The remarkable skill of the human hand in object manipulation tasks is not the result of rapid sensorimotor processes or powerful effector mechanisms. Rather, the secret lies in the way that the nervous system organizes and controls manipulation tasks. Skilled and dexterous object manipulation requires the ability to tailor motor commands, predictively, to the goals of the task and the physical...

this paper is concerned with the surface and small scale effects on transverse vibration of a viscoelastic single-layered graphene sheet (slgs) subjected to an in-plane magnetic field. the slgs is surrounded by an elastic medium which is simulated as visco-pasternak foundation. in order to investigate the small scale effects, the nonlocal elasticity theory is employed due to its simplicity and ...

prediction of fluid-elastic instability is a great matter of importance in designing cross-flow tube bundles from the perspective of vibration. in the present paper, the threshold of fluid-elastic instability has been numerically predicted via simulation of incompressible, unsteady, and turbulent cross-flow through a tube bundle in a normal triangular arrangement. the conditions of simulation i...

The purpose of the present work is to analyze the modulus of elasticity of graphene (Gr) sheet-reinforced metal matrix nanocomposites (MMNCs) using a homogenized model based on the Mori-Tanaka micromechanics approach. The main focus is to investigate the effects of Gr sheet agglomeration on the MMNC macroscopic elastic modulus. Also, the role of aligning Gr sheets in the mechanical performance ...

A holistic approach brings about a relationship between the patient, the wound, and the treatment (Flanagan, 1997). Accurate wound assessment depends on an understanding of several factors (Table 1). Other important aspects include measurement and documentation of wound healing rates and specialised areas such as leg ulcer assessment and the risk Clare Morris is Tissue Viability Advisor, North ...

This paper presents a linear-elastic finite element method based flattening algorithm for three dimensional triangular surfaces. First, an intrinsic characteristic preserving method is used to obtain the initial developing graph, which preserves the angles and length ratios between two adjacent edges. Then, an iterative equation is established based on linear-elastic finite element method and t...
