This paper studies mechanical buckling of functionally graded beams subjected to axial compressive load that is simply supported at both ends lies on a continuous elastic foundation. The displacement field of beam is assumed based on EngesserTimoshenko beam theory. Applying the Hamilton's principle, the equilibrium equation is established. The influences of dimensionless geometrical parameter, ...

in this study, nonlocal nonlinear instability and the vibration of a double carbon nanotube (cnt) system have been investigated. the visco-pasternak model is used to simulate the elastic medium between nanotubes, on which the effect of the spring, shear and damping of the elastic medium is considered. both of the cnts convey a viscose fluid and a uniform longitudinal magnetic field is applied t...

This study investigates that the sound wave propagation of multiferroic thermo elastic Nanofibers under the influence of surface effect and parametric excitation via Timoshenko form of beam equations. The equation of analytical model is obtained for Nanofiber through shear and rotation effect. The solution of the problem is reached through the coupled time harmonic equations in flexural directi...

A nonlocal anisotropic elastic shell model of a microtubule (MT) has been established in this paper. The proposed model exactly expresses the persistence length, the growth rate for buckling and the buckling load which include the small scale effects in a closed form. The predicted results of our model indicate that the length-dependence of the persistence length is sensitive to the small scale...

We investigate the propagation characteristics of superGaussian beam in highly nonlocal nonlinear media. The optical beam propagation has been modeled by well known nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The variational method is employed to find the initial beam propagation parameters and then split step Fourier method is used for numerical simulations. A generalized exact analytical solutio...

During the past few decades, a significant amount of research has been conducted in the area of non-destructive damage evaluation (NDE) based on changes in dynamic properties of a structure. System Identification and damage detection plays a crucial role in structural dynamics and vibro-acoustic system optimization. The later approach is based on the ‘Modal Analysis” The dynamic behaviors of th...

A Timoshenko beam theory for layered orthotropic beams is presented. The theory consists of a novel combination of three key components: average displacement and rotation variables that provide the kinematic description of the beam, stress and strain moments used to represent the average stress and strain state in the beam, and the use of exact axially-invariant plane stress solutions to calibr...
