Abstract: The behavior of axisymmetric cylinders under various surface loading has remained the topic of research for many years. Most of the solutions presented in the literature are load-specific. Therefore a general solution is ...

Abstract: Classical literature on solid mechanics claims existence of radial deformation due to torsion but there is hardly any literature on analytic solutions capturing this phenomenon. This paper tries ...

Abstract: The variational asymptotic method (VAM) was used to analyze the deformation behavior of bidirectional functionally graded material (FGM) beams under transverse loading. Gradation was provided in the longitudinal as well ...
