A recent advance upon Signal Detection Theory (SDT) promises to enhance measurement of performance in complex real world domains where stimuli do not fall into discrete, mutually exclusive categories. This development, Fuzzy Signal Detection Theory (FSDT) combines traditional SDT with Fuzzy Set Theory (FST) to extend signal detection analysis beyond the traditional crisp, categorical decision m...

In present study, the third-order shear deformation theory has been developed to investigate vibration analysis of FG Nano-plates based on Eringen nonlocal elasticity theory. The materials distribution regarding to the thickness of Nano-plate has been considered based on two different models of power function and exponential function. All equations governing on the vibration of FG Nano-plate ha...

The novelty of this study is presentation of an exact solution for prediction of postbuckling behavior of shear deformable micro- and nano-scale beams based on modified couple stress theory and using principle of minimum potential energy. Timoshenko and Reddy-Levinson beam theories are applied to consider the shear deformation effect and Von Karman nonlinear kinematics is used to describe the n...

Porous materials are lightweight, flexible and resistant to hairline cracks, so today with the development of technology porous structure produced for use in various industries. This structure widely use in beams, plates and shells. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of porosity in axial symmetry in bending and buckling load sheet for analysis. For this purpose, a circular p...

Buckling analysis of a functionally graded (FG) nanobeam resting on two-parameter elastic foundation is presented based on third-order shear deformation beam theory (TOSDBT). The in-plane displacement of TOSDBT has parabolic variation through the beam thickness. Also, TOSDBT accounts for shear deformation effect and verifies stress-free boundary conditions on upper and lower faces of FG nanobea...

A recent advance on Signal Detection Theory (SDT) promises to enhance measurement of performance in complex real world domains. This development, Fuzzy Signal Detection Theory (FSDT), combines traditional SDT with Fuzzy Set Theory to extend signal detection analysis beyond the traditional crisp, categorical model. FSDT permits events to simultaneously be in more than one state category (e.g. si...

We use the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) coupled with the finite element method (FEM) to study free vibrations of a functionally graded (FG) anisotropic rectangular plate with the objective of maximizing one of its first five natural frequencies. The following edge conditions are considered: (i) all edges clamped, (ii) all edges simply supported, (iii) two opposite edges clamped a...

Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) is a renewable, sustainable, and cost-efficient building element that has been growing in popularity recent years. To improve one of its weaknesses, suboptimal noise vibration isolation performance, computationally efficient, accessible, extensible CLT vibro-acoustic models are required. An effective approach for such the homogenisation layered materials. This paper...

Using a combination of explicit solvent atomistic simulation and continuum theory, here we study the lateral deformation mechanics of three distinct protein structures: an amyloid fibril, a beta helix, and an alpha helix. We find that the two β-sheet rich structures - amyloid fibril and beta helix, with persistence lengths on the order of μm - are well described by continuum mechanical theory, ...
