the main aim is to study the two dimensional axisymmetric problem of thick circular plate in modified couple stress theory with heat and mass diffusive sources. the thermoelastic theories with mass diffusion developed by sherief et al. [1] and kumar and kansal [2] have been used to investigate the problem. laplace and hankel transforms technique is applied to obtain the solutions of the governi...

stretching process of sheet metals in both cases of axisymmetric and non-axisymmetric is analyzed. a rigid-plastic, normal anisotrop material is assumed and large strain formulation is applied. triangular elements are used and stiffness equations of elements are obtained from virtual work principle. these nonlinear equations are linearized by newton-raphsons method and are solved by gaussian el...

Axisymmetric vibration of an infinite Pyrocomposite circular hollow cylinder made of inner and outer pyroelectric layer of 6mm-class bonded together by a Linear Elastic Material with Voids (LEMV) layer is studied. The exact frequency equation is obtained for the traction free surfaces with continuity condition at the interfaces. Numerical results in the form of data and dispersion curves for th...

I present an extension of the thin layer approximation to non-axisymmetric bow shocks. By choosing a suitable set of curvilinear coordinates that matches the geometry of a generally distorted bow shock surface, I derive the fluid equations for the flow. Analytical expansions are given for the matter flow near the bow shock stagnation point. Numerical solutions are also obtained, by using a revi...

Morphologies of genus-1 and 2 toroidal vesicles are studied numerically by dynamically triangulated membrane models and experimentally by confocal laser microscopy. Our simulation results reproduce shape transformations observed in our experiments well. At large reduced volumes of the genus-1 vesicles, obtained vesicle shapes agree with the previous theoretical prediction, in which axisymmetric...

We study the effect of a massive central singularity on the structure of a triaxial galaxy using N -body simulations. Starting from a single initial model, we grow black holes with various final masses Mh and at various rates, ranging from impulsive to adiabatic. In all cases, the galaxy achieves a final shape that is nearly spherical at the center and close to axisymmetric throughout. However,...

The existence of acoustic, Rayleigh-Bloch modes in the vicinity of a one-dimensional periodic array of rigid, axisymmetric structures is established with the use of a variational principle. Axisymmetric modes at frequencies below the cut-off frequency are shown to exist for all piecewise smooth structures and non-axisymmetric modes are found for a class of structures whose radial dimension is s...

We introduce a new class of 2-D mass models, whose potentials are of Stäckel form in elliptic coordinates. Our model galaxies have two separate strong cusps that form double nuclei. The potential and surface density distributions are locally axisymmetric near the nuclei and become highly non-axisymmetric outside the nucleus. The surface density diverges toward the cuspy nuclei with the law Σ ∝ ...
