SWCNTs are placed in longitudinal magnetic fields and modeled by sinusoidal shear deformation beam theory (SSDBT) as well as modified couple stress theory. The effect of slip boundary condition and small size effect of nano flow are considered using Knudsen number. The Gurtin–Murdoch elasticity theory is applied for incorporation the surface stress effects. The surrounding elastic medium is described by a visco-Pasternak foundation model, which accounts for normal, transverse shear and damping loads. The motion equations are derived based on the Hamilton's principle. The differential quadrature method (DQM) in conjunction with Bolotin method is used in order to calculate the dynamic instability region (DIR) of visco-SWCNTs induced by pulsating fluid. The detailed parametric study is conducted, focusing on the combined effects of the nonlocal parameter, magnetic field, visco-Pasternak foundation, Knudsen number, surface stress and fluid velocity on the dynamic instability of SWCNTs. The results depict that increasing magnetic field and considering surface effect shift DIR to right. The results presented in this paper would be helpful in design and manufacturing of nano/micro mechanical systems. Manuscript profile -

These cylindrical shells have variable thickness due to construction process which effected by pressure of buckling and its destruction. In this paper, effects of changing thickness on buckling and destruction pressure under external hydrostatic pressure of a shell are studied. Results of buckling pressure of cylindrical shell have been obtained with theoretical relations and finite element method. Then, using machining process a sample of cylindrical shell with variable thickness has been produced. Buckling pressure and post buckling of the constructed sample have been obtained with the reservoir under closed-ended hydrostatic pressure. Changes of the test sample size have been considered with closed-ended testing apparatuses which are used for new evaluation of buckling. In this research, results of the pressure have been obtained in terms of the volume change. At the end, results of the finite element method have been compared with results of the analytical solutions and experimental data. Results show that the shell with variable thickness has buckling pressure close to shell bucking pressure with mean thickness. Manuscript profile -

A unique aspect of the present study is the effect of permanent magnetic field on the stiffness and thermo-elastic damping of the micro resonators. In our modeling the theory of thermo-elasticity with interacting of an externally applied permanent magnetic field is taken into account. Combined theoretical and numerical studies investigate the permanent magnetic field effect on the damping ratio in clamped-clamped and cantilever micro-beams. Furthermore, the influence of the magnetic field intensity on the frequency of the micro-beams with thermo-elastic damping effect is evaluated. Such evaluations are used to determine the influence of magnetic field on the vibration amplitude of the resonators. The meaningful conclusion is that the magnetic field increases the equivalent stiffness and thermo-elastic damping and consequently the energy consumption of the resonators. Manuscript profile -

The wave equation of motion based on two-dimensional theory of elasticity is applied under the plane strain assumption of generalized thermoelastic plate of polygonal shape, composed of homogeneous isotropic material. The frequency equations are obtained by satisfying the irregular boundary conditions along the inner and outer surface of the polygonal plate. The computed non-dimensional wave number and wave velocity of triangular, square, pentagonal and hexagonal plates are given by dispersion curves for longitudinal and flexural antisymmetric modes of vibrations. The roots of the frequency equation are obtained by using the secant method, applicable for complex roots. Manuscript profile -

The Winkler model has been applied for elastic foundation. A two-node element with four degrees of freedom is suggested for finite element formulation. Displacement and rotational fields are approximated by cubic and quadratic polynomial interpolation functions, respectively. The length of the element is assumed to be so small, so that linear variation could be considered for elastic foundation through the length of the element. By these assumptions and using energy method, stiffness matrix, mass matrix and geometric stiffness matrix of the proposed beam element are obtained and applied to buckling and free vibration analysis. Accuracy of obtained formulation is approved by comparison with the special cases of present problem in other studies. Present formulation shows faster convergence in comparison with conventional finite element formulation. The effects of different parameters on the stability and free vibration of Timoshenko beams investigated and results are completely new. Manuscript profile -

For this purpose, wide circumferential rings are created from the outer surface of the conical tube at some determined areas along tube length. In fact, this method divides a long conical tube into several tubes of shorter length. When this structure is subjected to axial compression, folds are shaped within the space of these annular rings. In this study, several numerical simulations using ABAQUS 5.6 finite element explicit code are carried out to study of crashworthiness characteristics of the empty and the foam-filled thin-walled conical tubes. In order to verify these numerical results, a series of quasi-static axial compression tests are performed. Moreover, load-displacement curves, deformation mechanism of the structure, energy absorption, crush force efficiency (CFE), initial peak load with different number of rings are described under axial compression. The results show that a conical tube with stiff rings as a shock absorber could be improved or adjusted the crushing mode of deformation and energy absorption ability. Manuscript profile -

In order to determine stresses the concept of Seth’s transition theory based on generalized principal strain measure has been used. This theory simplifies the set of mechanical equations by mentioning the order of the measure of deformation. This theory helps to achieve better agreement between the theoretical and experimental results. Results have been analyzed with or without thermal effects for functionally graded and homogeneous cylinder with linear and nonlinear strain measure.From the analysis, it has been concluded that in creep torsion cylinder made up of less functionally graded material (FGM) under pressure is better choice for designing point of view as compared to homogeneous cylinder. This is due to shear stresses which are maximum for cylinder made up of functionally graded material as compared to homogeneous material. Manuscript profile -

They are also one of the topics of interests and it is new in designing of rotating nano-systems. In this paper, the scale-dependent vibration analysis of a nanoplate with consideration of the axial force due to the rotation has been investigated. The governing equation and boundary conditions are derived using the Hamilton’s principle based on nonlocal elasticity theory. The boundary conditions of the nanoplate are considered as free-free in y direction and two clamped-free (cantilever plate) and clamped-simply (propped cantilever) in x direction. The equations have been solved using differential quadrature method to determine natural frequencies of the rotating nanoplate. For validation, in special cases, it has been shown that the obtained results coincide with literatures. The effects of the nonlocal parameter, aspect ratio, hub radius, angular velocity and different boundary conditions on the first three frequencies have been investigated. Results show that vibration behavior of the rotating nanoplate with cantilever boundary condition is different from other boundary conditions. Manuscript profile -

As the top flange of I-beam in that arrangement is restricted from any translational deformation and twist, the web will distort during buckling presenting a phenomenon often described as restricted distortional buckling. There are limited studies available in the literature of restricted distortional buckling of composite steel/concrete I-beams subjected to negative or hogging bending. There is none however that includes the effect of partial shear interaction. In this paper, finite element models for in-plane analysis and out-of-plane buckling of continuous composite I-beams including the effects of partial shear interaction are presented.

Very purpose, shock absorbers such as honeycomb structures can be applied for crashworthiness improvement. In this study, graded honeycomb structure is primarily introduced as a shock absorber, followed by the introduction of its absorbed energy and the force and acceleration applied to the occupant which is numerically simulated and measured in Abaqus software. In order to validate the numerical simulation results, a low-velocity experimental test has been conducted on a prototype, and the obtained results indicate well agreement with empirical results. In the meanwhile of mine explosion under a armored vehicle, it has been considered that the vehicle will be thrown upwards with a velocity of 10 m/s and will hit to the ground thereafter. For this case, a shock absorber has been designed, optimized and analyzed. According to the obtained results, the designed shock absorber meets all of the standard requirements. The applied simulation and design method can be further extended for miscellaneous shock absorbers. Manuscript profile -

The panel is in contact with a non aging viscoelastic medium. Since the external load is a time varying random wide band process, deterministic and conventional approaches cannot be used. Instead, the evolution of the probability density function of the response is investigated. To compute the density function, the famous Monte Carlo simulation is employed while its correctness for this specific application is validated with another work in literature. The governing equation is rewritten to a non dimensional format; so that the results can be applied to a wide range of panels. Specifically, the transient behavior is investigated with respect to the quasi slenderness ratio and the non dimensional mean value of lateral load. As expected, both the simple damped oscillation and unstable jumping phenomenon are seen relative to the values of prescribed parameters. Finally, the joint probability density function of the response is drawn that give someone an idea about the quality of the response in the phase plane. Manuscript profile -

This paper presents analytical model to investigate the formability of two-layer sheets based on Marciniak and Kuckzinsky (M-K) method using Barlat and Lian non-quadratic yield criterion. FEM simulation is also performed to calculate the forming limits based on bifurcation theory. Forming limit diagrams (FLDs) and forming limit stress diagrams (FLSDs) determined by analytical and numerical approaches are compared with experimental results of Al3105-St14 two-layer sheet to verify the validity of theoretical models. The formability of two-layer sheet is also compared with the formability of its components. The results show that the forming limit diagram of two-layer sheet is located between the FLDs of separate layers. The effects of the anisotropy and the orientation of layers on formability of two-layer sheet are studied. The higher formability will be achieved in the case of coincidence of rolling directions of layers. Manuscript profile
