The present investigation deals with the propagation of waves in the layer of an anisotropic fibre reinforced thermoelastic solid. Secular equations for symmetric and skew-symmetric modes of wave propagation in completely separate terms are derived. The amplitude of displacements and temperature distribution were also obtained. Finally, the numerical solution was carried out for Cobalt material...

we characterize strictly diagonal type of embeddings offinitary symmetric groups in terms of cardinality and the characteristic. namely, we prove thefollowing.let $kappa$ be an infinite cardinal. if$g=underset{i=1}{stackrel{infty}bigcup} g_i,$ where $ g_i=fsym(kappa n_i)$,$(h=underset{i=1}{stackrel{infty}bigcup}h_i, $ where $ h_i=alt(kappa n_i) ), $ is a group of strictly diagonal type and$xi=(...

in this paper, the nonlinear free vibrations of thin symmetric and non-symmetric cross-ply composite plates subjected to biaxial initial stresses are investigated. because of their excellent properties such as specific strength and specific stiffness, composite plates have wide applications in aerospace and mechanical structures. based on von-karman's strain-displacement relations and using gal...

A graph is said to be symmetric if its automorphism group is transitive on its arcs. A complete classification is given of pentavalent symmetric graphs of order 24p for each prime p. It is shown that a connected pentavalent symmetric graph of order 24p exists if and only if p=2, 3, 5, 11 or 17, and up to isomorphism, there are only eleven such graphs.

A graph is called symmetric if its full automorphism group acts transitively on the set of arcs. The Cayley graph $Gamma=Cay(G,S)$ on group $G$ is said to be normal symmetric if $N_A(R(G))=R(G)rtimes Aut(G,S)$ acts transitively on the set of arcs of $Gamma$. In this paper, we classify all connected tetravalent normal symmetric Cayley graphs of order $p^2q$ where $p>q$ are prime numbers.

An equitable risk allocation between contracting parties plays a vital role in enhancing the performance of the project. This research presents a new quantitative risk allocation approach by integrating fuzzy logic and bargaining game theory. Owing to the imprecise and uncertain nature of players’ payoffs at different risk allocation strategies, fuzzy logic is implemented to determine the value...

In this paper we study generalized symmetric Berwald spaces. We show that if a Berwald space $(M,F)$ admits a parallel $s-$structure then it is locally symmetric. For a complete Berwald space which admits a parallel s-structure we show that if the flag curvature of $(M,F)$ is everywhere nonzero, then $F$ is Riemannian.
