this paper deals with the determination of displacement function and thermal stresses of a finite length isotropic functionally graded hollow cylinder subjected to uniform temperature field. the solution of the governing thermoelastic equation is obtained, as suggested by spencer et al. for anisotropic laminates.  numerical calculations are also carried out for fgm (functionally graded material...

Direct Monte Carlo simulations of the EnskogBoltzmann equation for a spatially uniform system of smooth inelastic spheres are performed. In order to reach a steady state, the particles are assumed to be under the action of an external driving force which does work to compensate for the collisional loss of energy. Three different types of external driving are considered: (a) a stochastic force, ...

We analyze the linear response properties of uniformly heated granular gas. The intensity stochastic driving fixes value temperature in nonequilibrium steady state reached by system. Here, we investigate two specific situations. First, look into ``direct'' relaxation system after a single (small) jump intensity. This study is carried out different methods. Not only do linearize evolution equati...
