Abstract: This paper derives a general solution of the three-dimensional equations of transversely isotropic piezothermoelastic materials (crystal class, 6 mm). Two displacement functions are first introduced ...

Abstract: This note presents an exact analysis of the free vibration of simply supported, transversely isotropic cylindrical panels on a Pasternak foundation. Based on three-dimensional elasticity, a displacement decomposition ...

Abstract: The mechanical behavior of materials/structures at nanoscales has been shown, either experimentally or numerically, to be size-dependent. An accurate analysis of a nano-sized multilayer film/substrate structure subject to ...

Abstract: This paper presents an exact static stress analysis of a multilayered elastic spherical shell (hollow sphere) completely based on three-dimensional elasticity for spherical isotropy. Two independent ...

Abstract: In this paper, free vibrations of a spherically isotropic spherical shell embedded in an elastic medium of Pasternak type are studied by using a six-mode shell theory that includes effects of ...

Abstract: This paper exactly analyzes the problem of a rigid conical punch indenting a transversely isotropic piezoelectric half-space. The potential theory method is employed and generalized to include ...

Abstract: By virtue of the separation of variables technique, the spherically symmetric electroelastic dynamic problem of a spherically isotropic hollow sphere is transformed to an integral equation about ...

Abstract: In this paper, a new type of cohesive element that employs multiple subdomain integration (MSDI) for improved cohesive stress integration accuracy of bonded plate/shell elements has been formulated. ...
