Abstract: This paper predicts transverse vibration and stability of a rotating circular plate subjected to stationary, in-plane, concentrated edge loads. First of all, the equation of motion is discretized ...

Abstract: The thermo-elastoviscoplastic buckling behavior of plates is investigated. The analysis is based on nonlinear kinematic relations and nonlinear rate-dependent unified constitutive equations which ...

Abstract: The thermoelastoviscoplastic buckling behavior of cylindrical shells under axial compression is investigated. The analysis is based on nonlinear kinematic relations and nonlinear rate-dependent unified constitutive equations. ...

Abstract: Finding effective and efficient tools for complex freeform shape modification continues to be a challenging problem in computer graphics and computer-aided design. Although current approaches give ...

Abstract: The dynamic responses of bridges induced by vehicles moving on poor road surfaces usually exceed those that are anticipated on highway bridges, thus the tuned mass damper (TMD) was studied to suppress dynamic responses of ...

Abstract: A unified constitutive equation with the effect of compression strain rate, tension strain, and shear strain for foam materials with very low Poisson’s ratio has been developed. The mathematical ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new method to generate uniform microspheres with biodegradable poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) material using microelectromechanical system technology. The general idea ...

Abstract: A novel method to generate uniform biodegradable microspheres for drug delivery applications has been developed. A liquid phase containing the dissolved microsphere matrix material reaches a ...
