Present paper is devoted to stress and deformation analyses of heated variable thickness functionally graded (FG) circular plate with clamped supported, embedded on a gradient elastic foundation and subjected to non-uniform transverse load. The plate is coupled by an elastic medium which is simulated as a Winkler- Pasternak foundation with gradient coefficients in the radial and circumferential...

In the present paper, a semi-analytical solution is presented for free vibration analysis of circular plates with complex combinations of the geometric parameters, edge-conditions, material heterogeneity, and elastic foundation coefficients. The presented solution covers many engineering applications. The plate is assumed to have a variable thickness and made of a heterogeneous material whose p...

Improvement in manufacturing technology has provided machines of higher ratings with better tolerances and controlled behaviour. These machines give rise to considerably higher dynamic forces and thereby higher stresses and, in return, demand improved performance and safety leaving no room for failures. This paper highlights need for a better interaction between foundation designer and machine ...

We consider a new kind of computational device like Turing machine, so-called circular Post machines with a circular tape and moving in one direction only, introduced recently by the second and the third authors. Using 2-tag systems we construct new nine small universal machines of this kind.
