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...

New spherical codes called laminated spherical codes are constructed in dimensions 2–49 using a technique similar to the construction of laminated lattices. Each spherical code is recursively constructed from existing spherical codes in one lower dimension. Laminated spherical codes outperform the best known spherical codes in the minimum distance sense for many code sizes. The density of a lam...

Despite the extensive use of thin-walled structures, studies on their behaviours when exposed to extreme thermal environment are relatively scarce. Therefore, this paper aims present buckling analysis composite I-beams under thermo-mechanical loads. The effects investigated for case studied beams undergoing a uniform temperature rise through thickness. theory is based first-order shear deformat...

Four-roll bending process is usually used for manufacturing of seamed thick-walled and thin-walled cylinders. Due to complexity of this process, the analytical solution of plate bending in this process has not been developed completely. The existence of friction and multi-step processing makes it more difficult. Investigation of four-roll bending process using analytical and numerical methods i...

Solutions of stress intensity factors for external and internal unpressurized and pressurized surface cracks in internally pressurized thick-walled reactor pressure vessels are determined directly by a three-dimensional displacement-hybrid finite element method. The finite element method is based on a rigorous modified variational principle of the total potential energy, with arbitrary element ...

In various fields of engineering, such structural elements are widely used that, from the point view their strength calculation, can be referred to thin shells (tanks, reservoirs, cylinders, etc.). When calculating thin-walled shells, a number hypotheses adopted simplify solution problem. The problem is most simply solved within framework momentless theory according which only force normal sect...

FGM components are generally constructed to sustain elevated temperatures and severe temperature gradients. Low thermal conductivity, low coefficient of thermal expansion and core ductility have enabled the FGM material to withstand higher temperature gradients for a given heat flux. Examples of structures undergo extremely high temperature gradients are plasma facing materials, propulsion syst...
