In this paper, the plates made of functionally graded material (FGM) with and without a crack are numerically simulated, employing the finite element method (FEM). The material property variations are defined to be fully continuous; therefore, the elements can be as small as required. For this purpose, variations of the material properties are applied in both the integration points and in the n...

Various authors have considered the Zero-rest-mass equation and the contour integral representation of its solutions. Ferber generalized these equations to supertwistor spaces with 2N odd components so that with N=O we get the standard ungraded twistors of Penrose. In this paper we use the Batchelor theorem toconstruct the natural super Twistor space with coarse topology with underlying sta...

A passive velocity field control (PVFC) approach is proposed to achieve simultaneous contour following, and force profile tracking control. The approach has the unique features that 1) it is energetically passive so that when it physically interacts with an object, safety and contact stability properties are enhanced; 2) contour following task is coded using a velocity field instead of the a ti...

In this article using the inverse Laplace transform, we show analytical solutions for the generalized mass transfers with (and without) a chemical reaction. These transfers have been expressed as the Couette flow with the fractional derivative of the Caputo sense. Also, using the Hankel contour for the Bromwich's integral, the solutions are given in terms of the generalized Airy functions.
