Polypropylene is one of the most common, fastest growing and versatile thermoplastics currently used to produce tanks and chemical piping systems. Even at room temperature creep is considerable for polypropylene products. The creep behavior of strains, stresses, and displacement rates is investigated in a thick-walled cylinder made of polypropylene reinforced by functionally graded (FG) multi-w...

in this research, static stresses analysis of boron nitride nano - tube reinforced composite (bnntrc) cylinder made of poly - vinylidene fluoride (pvdf) subjected to non - axisymmetric thermo - mechanical loads and applied voltage is developed. the surrounded elastic medium is modelled by pasternak foundation. composite structure is modeled based on piezoelectric fiber reinforced composite (pfr...

We employ the Airy stress function to derive analytical solutions for plane strain static deformations of a functionally graded (FG) hollow circular cylinder with Young’s modulus E and Poisson’s ratio v taken to be functions of the radius r . For E1 and v1 power law functions of r , and for E1 an exponential but v1 an affine function of r , we derive explicit expressions for stresses and displa...

We develop an orders-of-scattering approximation, termed the “screened cylindrical void/ core” (SCV) approximation, for a composite cylinder. The composite cylinder consists of a large host cylinder that contains a small, eccentrically embedded, core cylinder. The SCV approximation is developed via separation of variables in conjunctionwith addition theorems for cylindrical functions. We show t...

In the present paper, a novel unconstrained higher-order theory (UCHOT) is applied to analyse free vibration of cylindrical sandwich shells with nanocomposite face sheets reinforced graphene platelets. UCHOT considers shear and thickness deformations. It assumed that cylinder includes soft core which embedded between functionally graded platelets composites (FG-GPLRC). FG-GPLRC sheet consists s...

The present work derives the exact analytical solutions for buckling and post-buckling analysis of nano-composite beams reinforced by single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory and principle of virtual work. The reinforcements are considered to be aligned in the polymeric matrix either unifor...

magnetic field effects on the elastic response of polymeric piezoelectric cylinder reinforced with carbon nanotubes (cnts) is studied. the cylinder is subjected to internal pressure, a constant electric potential difference at the inner and outer surfaces, thermal and magnetic fields. the mori-tanaka model is used for obtaining the equivalent material properties of the cylinder. based on the ch...

The present study aimed to evaluate effects of different surface treatments and aging of composite cylinders on bond strength of composite resin repair. Thirty-two composite cylinders were produced and divided into four groups according to type of surface treatment and storage time of composite cylinder and repair. Cylinder surface of control group (Gcontrol) received no treatment before compos...
