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...

Functionalized carbon nanotubes have tremendous potential for nanotechnology applications such as in the fabrication of polymeric carbon fibers. However, approaches to design carbon nanotube structures by using functional groups as glue and carbon nanotubes as stiff building blocks to reach superior mechanical strength and toughness at the fiber level with limited amount of materials remains po...

Aging phenomena in the plastic response of amorphous solids are studied within the theory of shear transformation zones (STZs), which describes the kinetic rearrangement of localized defects in response to external stress. To account for the slow, nonequilibrium dynamics after a quench below the glass transition temperature, two possible models are considered. In the first model, transition rat...

The dynamic performance of structures under traveling loads should be exactly analyzed to have a safe and reasonable structural design. Different higher-order shear deformation theories are proposed in this paper to analyze the dynamic stability of thick elastic plates carrying a moving mass. The displacement fields of different theories are chosen based upon variations along the thickness as c...

In this paper, an elastic constitutive model based on the Eulerian corotational rate of the logarithmic strain tensor is proposed. Using this model, the large deformation of a closed cycle containing tension, shear, compression and inverse shear is analyzed. Since the deformation path includes a closed cycle and the material is considered as an isotropic elastic material, the normal and shear c...

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...
