Abstract: The classical Timoshenko beam model and the shear beam model are often used to model shear building behavior both for stability or dynamic analysis. This technical note questions the theoretical relationship between both ...

Abstract: This paper explores the static and vibration behavior of a two-phase peridynamic rod (or relative displacement-based integral rod model) with exponential kernels. The two-phase peridynamic theory combines a local and a ...

Abstract: Recently, considerable attention has been given to investigating the surface effects on nanoscale materials. These effects can be predominant for small-scale structures, such as nanobeams, nanoplates, ...

Abstract: This paper is devoted to the static and vibration behavior of a two-phase peridynamic (or relative rotation-based integral approaches) Euler–Bernoulli beam with exponential kernels. This two-phase peridynamic beam theory ...

Abstract: An apparent analytical peculiarity or paradox in the bending behavior of elastic-composite beams with interlayer slip, sandwich beams, or other similar problems subjected to boundary moments exists. For a fully composite ...

Abstract: This paper is focused on the buckling and the vibration analyses of microstructured structural elements, i.e., elements composed of repetitive structural cells. The relationship between the discrete and the equivalent ...

Abstract: The paper of [ASME J. Appl. Mech., 72, pp. 249–258 (2005)] analyzes the deformation behavior of random short glass fiber composites using a continuum damage mechanics model incorporating permanent ...

Abstract: This paper reports an analytical study on the elastic lateral-torsional buckling behavior of strip cantilevers (i) whose depth is given by a monotonically decreasing polygonal function of the ...
