This study presents a new numerical approach using tools developed to perform molecular simulation investigate the wall effect on aggregates and mortar distribution in concrete. Aggregates are represented by spheres interacting via generalized truncated Lennard-Jones potential. allows obtaining particle profiles according reference frame of interest (e.g., confined directions). Then particle-ba...

In this work, the quasi-3D hyperbolic shear deformation theory (quasi-3D HSDT) is utilized to examine dynamics of thick rectangular plates reinforced with nanofillers known as graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs). Agglomeration GNPs incorporated and mechanical characteristics like shear, elastic, bulk moduli, Poisson's ratio, density are analysed according mixture along Eshelby-Mori-Tanaka approach. H...

Mudstone rich in clay minerals exhibits an obvious water-induced weakening effect, and the mechanical properties of mudstone are significantly affected by groundwater. To investigate effect water on characteristics at microscale, a series uniaxial compression nanoindentation tests were conducted specimens different moisture contents. Microscale measurements upscaled to estimate corresponding ma...

In this research, the influence of carbon nanotubes agglomeration on buckling behavior multi-phase CNTs/fiber/polymer/metal composite laminates cylindrical shells under hydrostatic pressure was investigated. Governing equations were derived according to Kirchhoff-Love’s first approximation shell theory and solved by a combination Galerkin Fourier series expansion methods. Equivalent elastic pro...

A new analytical formulation for the modeling of piezoresistive fiber-reinforced composites with percolation-type behavior is presented in this work. Firstly, we develop a closed-form solution electrical conductivity oriented short-fiber reinforced by using generalized spherical harmonics series expansions Mori-Tanaka (MT) model. Piezoresistive effects are accounted means three distinct mechani...

This article defines the concept of relocating the program part of a finite partial state of SCM (data part stays intact). The relocated program differs from the original program in that all jump instructions are adjusted by the relocation factor and other instructions remain unchanged. The main theorem states that if a program computes a function then the relocated program computes the same fu...

At least two types of pyruvate kinase (ATPpyruvate phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.40) have been identified in rat liver, which were named type L (liver) and type M (muscle) on the basis of their immunological properties (Tanaka, Harano, Morimura & Mori, 1965). The L-type enzyme is allosterically activated by fructose 1,6-diphosphate (Taylor & Bailey, 1967) and is subject to hormonal and dietary c...

Static deformations, and free and forced vibrations of a thick rectangular functionally graded elastic plate are analyzed by using a higherorder shear and normal deformable plate theory (HOSNDPT) and a meshless local Petrov–Galerkin (MLPG) method. All components of the stress tensor are computed from equations of the plate theory. The plate material, made of two isotropic constituents, is assum...

In the implementation of Carbon Nanotube Reinforced Polymer matrix Composites in structural applications, deflection and stress analysis are important considerations. In the present study, a multi scale analysis of deflection and stress analysis of carbon nanotube (CNT) reinforced polymer composite plates is presented. A micromechanics model based on the Mori-Tanaka method is developed by intro...
