The nonlinear bending behavior of sector graphene sheets is studied subjected to uniform transverse loads resting on a Winkler-Pasternak elastic foundation using the nonlocal elasticity theory. Considering the nonlocal differential constitutive relations of Eringen theory based on first order shear deformation theory and using the von-Karman strain field, the equilibrium partial differential eq...

The present paper deals with the dynamic behavior of nano-column subjected to follower force using the nonlocal elasticity theory. The nonlocal elasticity theory is used to analyze the mechanical behavior of nanoscale materials. The used method of solution is the Differential Quadrature Method (DQM). It is shown that the nonlocal effect plays an important role in the vibrational behavior of nan...

An initial value problem for a Fractional Differential Equation (FDE) can be reformulated as a Volterra integral equation of the second kind with weakly singular kernel. Its solution can be approximated by applying suitable convolution quadratures. Methods of this type currently available in the literature are, for example, Adams product quadrature rules or Fractional Linear Multistep Methods, ...

This paper describes the development of explicit time-stepping methods for linear partial differential equations that are specifically designed to cope with the stiffness of the system of ordinary differential equations that results from spatial discretization. As stiffness is caused by the contrasting behavior of coupled components of the solution, it is proposed to adopt a componentwise appro...
