the the main objective of this research paper is to present 3-d elasticity solution for free vibration analysis of elastically supported continuously graded carbon nanotube-reinforced (cgcntr) annular plates. the volume fractions of oriented, straight single-walled carbon nanotubes (swcnts) are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction. an equivalent continuum model based on the eshelby-m...

Application of pile-raft foundations, which are known as “compound foundations”, is a suitable alternative in the case of heavy load structures. The interaction behavior of pile raft foundations makes these systems very complex to analyze. Different methods have been proposed to determine the bearing capacity of piled raft systems and distribution of loads between the components, i.e. pile grou...

In this study, two goals are followed. First, by means of the Generalized Differential Quadrature (GDQ) method, parametric analysis on the vibration characteristics of three-parameter Functionally Graded (FG) beams on variable elastic foundations is studied. These parameters include (a) three parameters of power-law distribution, (b) variable Winkler foundation modulus, (c) two-parameter elasti...

We have completed a new study of the formation of hydrogen lines in dense magnetized plasmas. We have developed a global formalism including the effects of the magnetic field and of the motional electric field. The latter, resulting from the motion of the radiating hydrogen atom in the magnetic field, modifies the structure of the matrices appearing in the equation of transfer of the Stokes vec...

In this study, dynamic bearing capacity of adjacent shallow strip foundations located on sandy soil was examined using a numerical finite difference modeling, FLAC. The behavioral interference of shallow strip foundations under different conditions was investigated. The effect of soil strength parameters, geometric characteristics of shallow foundations and cyclic loads at different distance ra...

This paper discusses the physical meaning and properties of the waves defined by v%+ z%Ib ~ = V. – Z,*Ii a%= ,, 2u/Re Z,] 2<1 ReZtl where V, and 1, are the voltage at and the current flowing into the ith port of a junction and Z, is the impedance of the circuit connected to the ith port. The square of the magnitude of these waves is directly related to the exchangeable power of a source and the...

Utilizing several Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) missions will provide a data set with higher temporal resolution. It is of great importance to understand the difference between various available sensors and polarization modes and to consider how to homogenize the data sets for a following combined analysis. In this study, a uniform and consistent analysis across different SAR missions is carri...

Broadband microstrip filter operating within 1.5GHz bandwidth at UHF range for RF communication systems has been designed, simulated, and implemented using a practical network parameter method. The design has been performed using the network parameter method with ABCD parameters, which simplified the analysis significantly. The analytical, simulated and measured results have been compared and e...
