There is a large body of information relating to the ontogeny, development and the vasculature of eudicotyledonous leaves. However, there is less information available concerning the vascular anatomy of monocotyledonous leaves. This is surprising, given that there are two uniquely different phloem systems present in large groups such as grasses and sedges. Monocotyledonous leaves contain margin...

An exact solution is obtained for an axisymmetric steady-state‎ ‎thermo-mechanical stresses in a thick functionally graded‎ ‎cylinder‎. ‎The material properties are graded along the radial‎ ‎direction according to an exponential function of radial‎ ‎direction with three constants‎. ‎The advantage of the proposed‎ ‎model‎, ‎compared to the models with two constants such as the‎ ‎linear‎, ‎power ...

In the present paper, the nonlinear transfinite element procedure recently published by the author is improved by introducing an enhanced convergence criterion to significantly reduce the computational run-times. It is known that transformation techniques have been developed mainly for linear systems, only. Due to using a huge number of time steps, employing the conventional time integration me...

In this paper, a numerical solution has been developed for hollow circular cylinders made up of orthotropic material which is subjected to twist using micro polar theory. The effect of twisting moment and material internal length on hollow thick-walled circular cylinder made up of micro polar orthotropic material is investigated. Finite difference method has been used to exhibit the influence o...

With the reduction in power consumption and size chip, the electronic industry has been searching novel strategies to overcome these constraints with an optimal performance. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) due to their extremely desirable electrical and thermal properties have been considered for their applicability in VLSI Design. CNTs are defined as sheets of graphene rolled up as hollow cylinders. T...
