Abstract In this paper, we analyse higher-order risky choices by the representative cumulative prospect theory (CPT) decision maker from three alternative reference points. These are status quo, average payout and maxmin. The choice tasks consider in our analysis include binary risks, ones employed experimental literature on higher order risk preferences. We demonstrate that made subject depend...

In this paper, wave propagation approach is used to analysis the free vibration and buckling analysis of the thick rectangular plates based on higher order shear deformation plate theory. From wave viewpoint, vibrations can be considered as traveling waves along structures. Waves propagate in a waveguide and reflect at the boundaries. It is assumed that the plate has two opposite edge simply su...

This article presents an effective computational approach that incorporates a quasi-brittle damage model into the isogeometric analysis of plates made functionally graded materials. The plate kinematics is represented by third-order shear deformation theory for higher accuracy. A coupling nonlocal equivalent strain field introduced on neutral surface to control softening behavior. utilization i...

This paper deals with free vibration analysis of continuously graded fiber reinforced (CGFR) truncated conical shell based on third-order shear deformation theory (TSDT), by developing special power-law distributions. The orthotropic (CGFR) truncated conical shell are clamped and simply supported at the both ends. It is assumed to have a smooth variation of fibers volume fraction in the thickne...
