The behavior of an exponentially graded hybrid cylindrical shell subjected to an axisymmetric thermo-electro-mechanical loading placed in a constant magnetic field is investigated. The hybrid shell is consisted of a functionally graded host layer  embedded with pyroelectric layers as sensor and/or actuator  that can be imperfectly bonded to the inner and the outer surfaces of a shell. The shell...

Soft materials like tissues, prosthetics, gels and rubber are usually modeled as incompressible hyperelastic. The use of these in soft robotics surgical implants necessitates analysis their finite deformations. We study here plane-strain flexural deformations functionally graded, isotropic Mooney-Rivlin rectangular beams into circular arcs by using a member Ericksen’s family universal solutions...
