Abstract: In the present paper, an exact three-dimensional vibration analysis of a transradially isotropic, thermoelastic solid sphere subjected to stress-free, thermally insulated, or isothermal boundary ...

Abstract: The exact free vibration analysis of stress free or rigidly fixed, thermally insulated/isothermal, transradially (spherically) isotropic thermoelastic solid sphere has been presented in context of ...

Abstract: Nanorobots are propitious to swim or fly compared with crawling and walking because of issues with desirable characteristics of high velocity, efficiency, specificity, controllability, and a simple ...

Abstract: Many soft-clay deposits are overlain by a stiffer layer or crust. The stiff upper layer spreads the applied loads over a wide surface of the soft soil providing an effect similar to surcharge stress. The bearing capacity ...

Abstract: The present investigation is concerned with the study of extensional and transversal wave motions in an infinite homogenous transversely isotropic, thermoelastic plate by using asymptotic method ...

Abstract: Swimming in micro/nano domains is a challenge and involves a departure from standard methods of propulsion, which are effective at macrodomains. Flagella based propulsion is seen extensively in ...

Abstract: In recent years, spillway rehabilitation has increased in importance and become the subject of many projects worldwide. One solution for this problem is the implementation of a new type of labyrinth spillway, called Piano ...

Abstract: The formation of district metered areas (DMAs) is an efficient strategy for the operation and management of water distribution networks (WDNs). Identifying the most suitable DMA layout is a challenging task for water ...

Abstract: Riparian buffers are commonly promoted to protect stream water quality. A common conceptual assumption is that buffers “intercept” and treat upland runoff. As a shift in paradigm, it is proposed instead that riparian buffers ...
