Beams supported by elastic foundations are one of the complex soil-structure interaction problems that have been studied using "beam on foundation" concept. To support loads, structural foundation and soil continuum must work together. The development more accurate model simpler procedure critical for safety cost-effective construction such type structure. Three nodded beams based Timoshenko be...

In this paper, the nonlinear dynamic buckling of double-walled boron-nitride nanotube (DWBNNT) conveying viscous fluid is investigated based on Eringen's theory. BNNT is modeled as an Euler-Bernoulli beam and is subjected to combine mechanical, electrical and thermal loading. The effect of viscosity on fluid-BNNT interaction is considered based on Navier-Stokes relation. The van der Waals (vdW)...

Abstract. In the present work, a two-dimensional model based on higher order Layer-Wise (LW) approach is presented for static and dynamic analysis of doubly-curved anisotropic shell structures. The Equivalent Single Layer (ESL) methodology also obtained as particular case LW. Each lamina stacking sequence modelled an continuum. fundamental equations account both surface concentrated loads, well...

Abstract In this article, the nonlinear dynamic responses of sandwich functionally graded (FG) porous cylindrical shell embedded in elastic media are investigated. The studied here consists three layers, which outer and inner skins made solid metal, while core is FG metal foam. Partial differential equations derived by utilizing improved Donnell’s theory Hamilton’s principle. Afterwards, Galerk...

The buckling behavior of functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced composite (FG-CNTRC) plates resting on Winkler-Pasternak elastic foundations under in-plane loads for various temperatures is investigated using element-free Galerkin (EFG) method based on first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT). The modified shear correction factor is used based on energy equivalence principle. Carbon ...

In this study, two goals are followed. First, by means of the Generalized Differential Quadrature (GDQ) method, parametric analysis on the vibration characteristics of three-parameter Functionally Graded (FG) beams on variable elastic foundations is studied. These parameters include (a) three parameters of power-law distribution, (b) variable Winkler foundation modulus, (c) two-parameter elasti...

The aim of the present paper is to evaluate the influence of the Soil- Foundation- Structure Interaction (SFSI) effects on the component demand modifier factor of concrete gravity beams based on ASCE 41-06 standard. To this end, the beam on the nonlinear Winkler foundation approach is employed which is a simple and efficient method. At first, four sets of 3-, 6-, 10- and 15-storey concrete mome...
