Abstract: Vibration of a circular cylindrical shell with elastic boundary restraints is of interest to both researchers and structural engineers. This class of problems, however, is far less attempted in the literature than its ...

Abstract: A general analytical method, referred to as the Fourier spectral element method, is presented for the dynamic analysis of plate structures consisting of any number of arbitrarily oriented rectangular plates. The compatibility ...

Abstract: An analytical method is derived for the vibration analysis of doubly curved shallow shells with arbitrary elastic supports alone its edges, a class of problems which are rarely attempted in the literature. Under this ...

Abstract: A theoretical answer to the controversial issue on the anomalous convective heat transfer in nanofluids has been provided, exploiting the Buongiorno model for convective heat transfer in nanofluids with modifications to ...

Abstract: In this study, a novel inexact twostage stochastic robustcompensation programming (ITSPRC) model is developed for CO2 emission reduction management under uncertainties. This model is attempted to integrate ITSP and stochastic ...

Abstract: This study explores the role of vegetation biophysical processes (VBPs) in the structure and evolution of the South American monsoon system (SAMS) with an emphasis on the precipitation field. The approach is based on ...

Abstract: Pipeline suspension bridges are narrow and wind sensitive. There is a lack of research on the mechanical performance of pipeline suspension bridges under wind load, especially under the action of gorge wind. This paper ...
