We propose and analyze a new type of a resonator in an annular geometry that is based on a single defect surrounded by radial Bragg reflectors on both sides. We show that the conditions for efficient mode confinement are different from those of the conventional Bragg waveguiding in a rectangular geometry. A simple and intuitive approach to the design of optimal radial Bragg reflectors is propos...

In this study, the vibration behavior of functional graded (FG) circular and annular nanoplate embedded in a Visco-Pasternak foundation and coupled with temperature change is studied. The effect of in-plane pre-load and temperature change are investigated on the vibration frequencies of FG circular and annular nanoplate. To obtain the vibration frequencies of the FG circular and annular nanopla...

Curved aluminium extrusions are applied in a wide range of industrial applications. Because initially straight, an additional process is required to curve the product. Undesired wrinkling plate part at inner radius frequently observed during curving process. Wrinkling has already been extensively studied for rotary-draw bending This paper aims predicting conditions which hollow section can occu...
