Buckling Behavior of Long Anisotropic Plates Subjected to Combined Loads

Dynamic Response Analysis of Fractionally Damped Beams Subjected to External Loads using Homotopy Analysis Method

This paper examines the solution of a damped beam equation whose damping characteristics are well-defined by the fractional derivative (FD). Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM) is applied for calculating the dynamic response (DR). Unit step and unit impulse functions are deliberated for this analysis. Acquired results are illustrated to show the movement of the beam under various sets of parameters ...

Buckling Behavior of Long Symmetrically Laminated Plates Subjected to Shear and Linearly Varying Axial Edge Loads

A parametric study of the buckling behavior of infinitely long symmetrically laminated anisotropic plates that are subjected to linearly varying edge loads, uniform shear loads, or combinations of these loads is presented. The study focuses on the effects of the shape of linearly varying edge load distribution, plate orthotropy, and plate flexural anisotropy on plate buckling behavior. In addit...

response of coupled-precast shear walls subjected to cyclic loads

large panel precast structures are analyzed based on the connection rigidity. however, the connections undergo nonlinear and inelastic response, when subjected to seismic loads. thus, to study the actual behavior of structure, the connection nonlinearity should be implemented in the joints. in this paper, three conventional connection types are modeled based on the envelope of their cyclic resp...

Buckling Analysis of Functionally Graded Shallow Spherical Shells Under External Hydrostatic Pressure

The aim of this paper is to determine the critical buckling load for simply supported thin shallow spherical shells made of functionally graded material (FGM) subjected to uniform external pressure. A metal-ceramic functionally graded (FG) shell with a power law distribution for volume fraction is considered, where its properties vary gradually through the shell thickness direction from pure me...
