Abstract In this article, axisymmetric deformations of coupled functionally graded conical shells are studied. The analytical solution is presented by using the complex hypergeometric and Legendre polynomial series. results agree closely with reference for isotropic revolution. symbolic package Mathematica commands added to article help readers search particular solutions. detailed solutions tw...

Static shape actuation and dynamic control of nozzles can improve their performance, accuracy, reliability, etc. A new curved laminated piezothermoelastic hexahedral finite element is formulated based on the layerwise constant shear angle theory and it is used for modeling and analysis of piezothermoelastic conical shell structures subjected to control voltages for static shape actuation and dy...

Thermal fluctuations strongly modify the large length-scale elastic behavior of cross-linked membranes, giving rise to scale-dependent elastic moduli. Whereas thermal effects in flat membranes are well understood, many natural and artificial microstructures are modeled as thin elastic shells. Shells are distinguished from flat membranes by their nonzero curvature, which provides a size-dependen...
