Abstract: In a number of recent investigations, a buried pipe undergoing seismic excitation was modelled as a beam on a visco-elastic foundation. However, it is known that two of the observed failure ...

Abstract: In this paper the inelastic effect on the axisymmetric buckling load of a clamped shallow spherical shell subjected to an external pressure is investigated. A variational principle derived from ...

Abstract: The temperature and membrane stress distributions in an elastic square plate with an insulated central elliptic hole are investigated. The temperature varies along coordinates within the plane. ...

Abstract: The steady and pulsatile flow of blood through small rigid, circular tubes has been analysed by a microcontinuum approach. The exact solutions for velocity and cell rotational velocity are ...
