the major reason for the prediction of thermodynamic properties of mercury lies in the fact that itsintermolecular interactions highly depend on temperature and density. internal pressure is a good criterion toinvestigate the density dependence of the interatomic interactions. because its physical base is a forcetending to close together the molecules that is intermolecular interactions, and as...

free vibration of simply supported circular cylindrical shell made of functionally graded material (fgm) under internal pressure was investigated. the effective material properties are assumed to vary continuously along the thickness direction according to a volume fraction power law distribution. first order shear deformation theory based on love's first approximation theory was utilized in th...
