The bending and free vibration of porous functionally graded (PFG) beams resting on elastic foundations are analyzed. material features the PFG beam assumed to vary continuously through thickness according volume fraction components. foundation medium is also considered be linear, homogeneous, isotropic, modeled using Winkler-Pasternak law. hyperbolic shear deformation theory applied for kinema...

In this work, nonlocal elasticity theory is applied to analyze nonlinear free vibrations of slightly curved multi-walled carbon nanotubes resting on nonlinear Winkler and Pasternak foundations in a thermal and magnetic environment. With the aid of Galerkin decomposition method, the systems of nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed into systems of nonlinear ordinary differentia...

This manuscript develops for the first time a mathematical formulation of dynamical behavior bi-directional functionally graded porous plates (BDFGPP) resting on Winkler–Pasternak foundation using unified higher-order plate theories (UHOPT). The kinematic displacement fields are exploited to fulfill null shear strain/stress at bottom and top surfaces without needing factor correction. gradation...

We consider the problem of contact interaction punches various shapes with an elastic foundation modeled by layer two bedding coefficients. The application this model makes it possible to determine not only stress states punch and but also their displacements. perform numerical analyses compare results obtained for different models foundations punches.

The available shear correction factors have mainly been developed for homogeneous isotropic plates and/or assuming that no shear tractions are imposed on the top and bottom surfaces of the plate. In the present research, a more general case of a circular functionally graded plate subjected to non-uniform normal and shear tractions at the top and bottom surfaces is considered. These non-uniform ...

In this study, the free vibration behavior of orthotropic rectangular graphene sheet embedded in an elastic medium under biaxial pre-load is studied. Using the nonlocal elasticity theory, the governing equation is derived for single-layered graphene sheets (SLGS). Differential quadrature method (DQM) has been used to solve the governing equations for various boundary conditions. To verify the a...

The quasifree nonempirical model proposed by Staszewka et al. in 1983 for the imaginary part of the electron scattering optical potential is revised, in order to improve its foundations, accuracy, and range of applicability. The importance of relativistic and many-body effects for heavy atoms is shown and some corrections proposed. A criterion for selecting the D parameter is discussed. The mod...
