Abstract: Efficient and accurate solutions of the interlaminar stresses in a layered beam under a temperature loading are obtained by a variational method using stress functions and the principle of ...

Abstract: Anisotropic laminates with bending-stretching coupling possess eigensolutions that are analytic functions of the complex variables x+μky, where the eigenvalues μk and the corresponding eigenvectors ...

Abstract: The eigenvalue problem associated with the determination of the interlaminar stresses in a laminated strip is examined and physical interpretations are given to the (constant) particular solutions ...

Abstract: A variational method involving Lekhnitskii’s stress functions is used to determine the interlaminar stresses in a multilayered strip of laminate subjected to arbitrary combinations of axial ...

Abstract: In this paper, a method used to analyze the sloshing of liquid in a tank subjected to forced pitching and (or) yawing oscillation is presented. First, a variational principle for a liquid ...

Abstract: The high variability of construction environments results in high construction-cost variation, especially in material costs. Inadequate planning may cause material shortages that delay the project schedule or, alternatively, ...

Abstract: In recent years, general contractors in the construction industry have gradually begun to implement a system called enterprise resource planning (ERP). During the ERP implementation process, contractors performed required ...
