In this article, thermo-elastic-behavior of a thick-walled cylinder made from a polystyrene nanocomposite reinforced with functionally graded (FG) single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) was carried out in radial direction while subjected to a steady state thermal field. The SWCNTs were assumed aligned, straight with infinite length and a uniform layout. Two types of variations in the volume fr...

In this research, static stresses analysis of boron nitride nano - tube reinforced composite (BNNTRC) cylinder made of poly - vinylidene fluoride (PVDF) subjected to non - axisymmetric thermo - mechanical loads and applied voltage is developed. The surrounded elastic medium is modelled by Pasternak foundation. Composite structure is modeled based on piezoelectric fiber reinforced composite (PFR...

in this paper, the deformation of a thick-walled circular cylindrical shell of incompressible isotropic elastic material is considered. the shell, which is made of three-term strain energy function is subjected to the combined external and axial loading pressure. in order to obtain the relevant eigenvalues, which is the main objective of the work, the incremental equilibrium equations are so...

Non-Symmetrical Plastic Collapse Modes of a Symmetrically Loaded Circular Cylinder. P18stic collapse modes of a thick-walled homogeneous cylinder under circularly-symmetrical loading (internal and external normal pressures) are analyzed. Ideal plasticity, I-IUBEIt-~ISES-HENC]~Y yield condition, incompressibility and plane strain conditions are assumed. The possibility of existence of non-syrm~e...

Developing clinical work suggests that vascular stiffening plays a role in the progression of pulmonary hypertension (PH), while recent studies in animal models of hypoxic PH have found significant proximal vascular stiffening in the diseased population. Here, we develop and validate a minimally invasive, clinically realizable method to estimate the local elastic modulus of the proximal pulmona...

The integrity assessment to evaluate the safety margin of reactor pressure vessels (RPV) often considers only crack initiation and excludes propagation analysis. This contribution focuses on analysis in RPV steels. eXtended Finite Element (XFEM) method implemented ABAQUS is applied a thick-walled cylindrical specimen with circumferential at inner surface order simulate embrittled subjected Pres...

In this article, magneto-thermo-elastic stresses and perturbation of magnetic field vector are analyzed for a thick-walled cylinder made from polystyrene, reinforced with functionally graded (FG) single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in radial direction, while subjected to an axial and uniform magnetic field as well as a transient thermal field. Generalized plane strain state is considered in...

Using the infinitesimal theory of elasticity and analytical formulation, displacements and stresses based on the high-order shear deformation theory (HSDT) is presented for axisymmetric thick-walled cylinders made of functionally graded materials under internal and/or external uniform pressure. The material is assumed to be isotropic heterogeneous with constant Poisson’s ratio and radially varyi...
