In this paper, the transient response of a viscoelastic annular plate which has time-dependent properties is determined mathematically under dynamic transverse load. The axisymmetric conditions are considered in the problem. The viscoelastic properties obey the standard linear solid model in shear and the bulk behavior in elastic. The equations of motion are extracted using Hamilton’s principle...

The damping vibration characteristics of magneto-electro-viscoelastic (MEV) nanobeam resting on viscoelastic foundation based on nonlocal strain gradient elasticity theory (NSGT) is studied in this article. For this purpose, by considering the effects of Winkler-Pasternak, the viscoelastic medium consists of linear and viscous layers. with respect to the displacement field in accordance with th...

[Received on ] Thixotropic yield stress fluids have a yield stress and viscosity which change slowly over time as the fluid undergoes structural changes. This article reviews recent work which shows how such behavior can arise as a limit of viscoelastic flow when a relaxation time becomes large. The large relaxation time introduces a small parameter which can be used as a basis for singular per...

The analysis of pavements and their ingredients has always been important due to a good understanding of their behavior under different conditions; that leads to more accurate relations. Due to the extent of asphalt mixture application in the world, the assessment of different behaviors of this mix is very important from various aspects of performance and safety. Given that the asphalt mixtures...

Chiral materials are not invariant to inversions: there is a distinction between rightand left-handed material. Material properties such as piezoelectricity and pyroelectricity, represented by tensors of odd rank, can only occur in chiral materials. Chiral e!ects in elasticity cannot be expressed within classical elasticity since the modulus tensor, which is fourth rank, is unchanged under an i...
