The present study investigates buckling characteristics of both nonlinear symmetric power and sigmoid functionally graded (FG) beams. The volume fractions of metal and ceramic are assumed to be distributed through a beam thickness by the sigmoid-law distribution (S-FGM), and the symmetric power function (SP-FGM). These functions have smooth variation of properties across the boundary rather tha...

We study the free-propagation features of an optical field endowed with a non-uniform polarization pattern with elliptical symmetry. The fields derived in this way are called Elliptically Symmetric Polarized Beams (ESPB for short). Some properties of these fields are analysed. Moreover, it is shown how it is possible to obtain such light beams by applying the results to Bessel-Gauss beams.

A theoretical analysis of the buckling mono-axially compressed rectangular grid is carried out. The composed two orthogonal orders continuous beams, simply supported at ends. critical load determined by different models: (i) Kirchhoff’s homogeneous orthotropic plate, and (ii) a system solved Rayleigh-Ritz method. Parametric studies are out numerical examples developed. analytical solutions vali...

In this paper, collapse behavior of simple and reinforced thin-walled channel- section beams, subjected to three- point bending, is investigated. Many simple channel- section beams of different geometry and some reinforced ones were tested, and their strengths after collapse were obtained thoroughly. Since the available theories in this area are complicated and little attention has been paid to...

Background: The dosimetric performance of Eclipse 6.5 three dimensional treatment planning system (3DTPS) is evaluated by comparing the calculated and measured dose in two dimensions following the guide lines of American Association for Physicists in Medicine Task Group 53. Materials and Methods: The calculations were performed by the 3DTPS for symmetric as well as asymmetric fields for standar...

In the present paper, computations of mixed mode stress intensity factor (SIF) variations along the crack front, and fatigue-crack-growth simulations, in cracked I-beams, considering different load cases and initial crack configurations, are carried out by employing the three-dimensional SGBEM (Symmetric Galerkin Boundary Element Method)–FEM (Finite Element Method) Alternating Method. For mode-...

Cold-formed steel C- and Z-section beams are widely used in light gauge building systems as flexural members. In their applications members, mono-symmetric C-sections point-symmetric Z-sections often subjected to transverse loads eccentric the shear centre, leading combined bending torsion actions. However, research design methods for cold-formed limited. Hence this has investigated structural ...

In this paper, the elastic lateral–torsional behavior of simple beams is discussed by presenting a novel analytical solution and performing numerical studies. The motivation presented research observation that classic prediction finite element are, typically, significantly different when second-order nonlinear with initial imperfections analyzed. To understand explain observed differences, mode...

Physics with neutrino beams has played a crucial role in establishing the standard model and its structure, specifically in leading to the discovery of weak neutral currents and of their properties. Currently, while the physics of neutrinos gives us the first evidence of physics beyond the standard model, the use of neutrinos as probes appears to be the only way of accessing subtle details of t...

Based on the ray transformation matrix formalism, we propose a simple method for generation of paraxial beams performing anisotropic rotation in the phase space during their propagation through isotropic optical systems. The widely discussed spiral beams are the particular case of these beams. The propagation of these beams through the symmetric fractional Fourier transformer is demonstrated by...
