In this article, axisymmetric buckling behavior of piezoelectric fiber reinforced polymeric composite (PFRPC) annular plate subjected to electro-thermo-mechanical field is presented utilizing principle of minimum potential energy. Boron-nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) are used as fibers. Full coupling between electrical, mechanical and thermal fields are considered according to a representative volum...

Many systems can be modeled with hard and various size spheres, therefore packing and geometrical structures of such sets are of great importance. In this paper, rigid spherical particles distributed in different sizes are randomly packed in confined spaces, using a parallel algorithm. Mersenne Twister algorithm was used to generate pseudorandom numbers for initial coordination of particles. Di...

Long-span bridges, as vital structures, play a very important role in economic development. Furthermore, the results of several earthquake-damaged bridges showed that their seismic behavior was different from that predicted under uniform excitation and in some cases the responses were more than predicted results. Therefore, the damaged bridges under non-uniform excitations were re-analyzed and ...

Let A be a commutative ring. A graded A-algebra U = ⊕n≥0Un is a standard A-algebra if U0 = A and U = A[U1] is generated as an A-algebra by the elements of U1. A graded U -module F = ⊕n≥0Fn is a standard U -module if F is generated as an U -module by the elements of F0, that is, Fn = UnF0 for all n ≥ 0. In particular, Fn = U1Fn−1 for all n ≥ 1. Given I, J , two ideals of A, we consider the follo...

Nanoporous silicon powder was produced via efficient magnesiothermic reduction. In this work, the thermal effect and reduction process time were investigated on the porous silicon structure. The nanoporous silicon powders were characterized by  X-ray diffraction analysis and field emission scanning electron microscopy. The results demonstrate that porous structure was changed to homogeneous and...

The aim of this paper is to set up appropriate uniform convergence spaces in which to reformulate and enrich the Order Completion Method [25] for nonlinear PDEs. In this regard, we consider an appropriate space ML (X) of normal lower semi-continuous functions. The space ML (X) appears in the ring theory of C (X) and its various extensions [15], as well as in the theory of nonlinear, PDEs [25] a...
