Abstract: This paper presents an improved shell theory for the analysis of shallow shells of composite materials such as pyrolytic graphite, that exhibit certain unusual and complex thermal properties. ...

Abstract: This paper presents a method to predict the dynamic response of a fluid conveying pipe carrying a discrete mass when the flow velocity is less than its critical value. A general expression ...

Abstract: This paper presents a comparative study between a three-dimensional and an axisymmetric finite-element analysis of a reactor pressure-vessel inlet nozzle subject to internal pressure. A quarter-symmetric ...
