Abstract: A stabilized higher-order boundary element method (HOBEM) based on cubic shape functions is presented to solve the linear wave-structure interaction with the presence of steady or slowly varying velocities. The m-terms ...

Abstract: This paper investigates mode-independent stabilization of Markovian jump systems with time-varying delays via a sliding mode approach. A sufficient condition is proposed to guarantee the existence ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the problem of robust fuzzy tracking control design for a class of nonlinear stochastic Itô-type systems with Markovian jumps. Considering the fuzzy approximation errors ...

Abstract: This paper presents experimental measurements of the through-thickness distribution of residual stress in a ceramic-metallic functionally graded material (FGM). It further presents an error analysis ...

Abstract: This paper revisits the nonlinear in-plane analysis of a shallow pin-ended circular arch under a central concentrated load. It is found that the arch may have multiple equilibrium branches and limit points, and a modified ...

Abstract: Turbine attachments in the aero-engine are generally subjected to combined high and low cycle fatigue (CCF) loadings, i.e., low cycle fatigue (LCF) loading due to centrifugal and thermal loading stresses superimposed to ...

Abstract: This paper presents numerical and experimental investigations of the in-plane strength and design of pin-ended circular arches having a sinusoidal corrugated web under combined in-plane loads. Finite-element models are ...
