In this paper, the buckling of non-homogeneous isotropic truncated conical shells under uniform lateral pressure and resting on a Winkler foundation is investigated. The basic relations and governing equations have been obtained for non-homogeneous truncated conical shells. The critical uniform lateral pressures of non-homogeneous isotropic truncated conical shells with or without a Winkler fou...

The Galerkin method is applied to analyze the elastic large deflection behavior of metal plates subject to a combination of in-plane loads such as biaxial loads, edge shear and biaxial inplane bending moments, and uniformly or nonuniformly distributed lateral pressure loads. The motive of the present study was initiated by the fact that metal plates of ships and ship-shaped offshore structures ...

Despite the numerous applications of pressurized graphene membranes in new technologies, there is still a lack accurate mechanical models. In this work we develop continuum model for circular subjected to uniform lateral pressure. We adopt semi-inverse method by defining simplified kinematics deformation and describe material behavior with stored energy function that takes into account both non...

BACKGROUND Lateral turning of critical care patients receiving mechanical ventilation can adversely affect hemodynamic status. OBJECTIVE To study hemodynamic responses to lateral turning. METHOD A time-series design with automated signal processing and ensemble averaging was used to evaluate changes in heart rate, mean arterial pressure, and pulse pressure due to lateral turning in 13 adult...
