Using high-strength steel for offshore structures with a yield stress of 500 MPa, this study evaluated the distribution characteristics welding residual in thickness direction under influence constrained conditions during using cutting, neutron diffraction, and contour methods. Welding inevitably occurs impacts fracture stability structures. As better reflects effects phase transformation, beha...

The proposed theorem in this paper is indicative of a kind of duality in the propagation of waves in the dual media of and in the spherical structures. Independent of wave frequency, the number of layers, their thickness, and the type of polarization, this theorem holds true in case of any change in any of these conditions. Theorem: Consider a plane wave incident on a multilayered spheric...

AIMS Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a disease with marked regional differences in wall thickness. However, the relation between myocardial function and wall thickness has not been well studied. Ultrasonic strain rate (SR) imaging makes it possible to study the regional myocardial deformation. We investigated whether regional systolic deformation is reduced in paediatric patients with HCM ...

In this paper, thermo-elastic analysis of a rotating thick truncated conical shell subjected to the temperature gradient, internal pressure and external pressure is presented. Given the existence of shear stress in the conical shell due to thickness change along the axial direction, the governing equations are obtained based on first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT). These equations are so...

We have solved the governing equations for the buckling of rectangular functionally graded plates which one of its edges has small non-zero deflection and moment. For the case that the material properties obey a power law in the thickness direction, an analytical solution is obtained using the perturbation series. The applied in-plane load is assumed to be perpendicular to the edge which has no...

Piezoresistivity (change of the volume electrical resistivity with strain) in continuous carbon fiber polymer-matrix structural composites allows electrical-resistance-based strain/ stress sensing. Uniaxial through-thickness compression is encountered in fastening. As shown for a 24-lamina quasi-isotropic epoxy-matrix composite, compression results in (i) strain-induced reversible decreases in ...

The present study deals with the elastic analysis of concave thickness rotating disks made of functionally graded materials (FGMs).The analysis is carried out using element based gradation of material properties in radial direction over the discretized domain. The resulting deformation and stresses are evaluated for free-free boundary condition and the effect of grading index on the deformation...
