Abstract: Using a Donnell-type nonlinear theory and the stability in the small concept of Poincaré, the instability of an infinite-length cylindrical shell subjected to a broad class of axisymmetric loads ...

Abstract: The stability of a long, thin, elastic circular cylindrical shell subjected to axial compression and an axisymmetric load moving with constant velocity along the shell axis is studied. With the ...

Abstract: A binary mixture theory with microstructure is constructed for unidirectionally fiber-reinforced elastic composites. Model construction is based on an asymptotic scheme with multiple scales and the ...

Abstract: An elastic, partially transparent solid, occupying the half space x > 0, is subjected to uniform impulsive electromagnetic radiation at the surface x = 0. The deposition of radiant energy ...

Abstract: This paper introduces a dilatancy-based analytical model of the response of an axially loaded concrete cylinder, confined with a fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite jacket. Model construction is based on the experimentally ...

Abstract: Assessment of the flexural and shear capacity of two V-shaped RC bridge bents has been validated against experimental results from tests on 1:3-scale specimens. A numerical procedure based on iterative analyses taking into ...

Abstract: A continuum theory is developed for wave propagation normal to the layers of a laminated composite with elastic, periodic, microstructure. Construction is based upon an asymptotic scheme in which ...

Abstract: A hierarchy of approximate elastodynamic plate theories is deduced from the three-dimensional equations of elasticity. The derivation is based upon asymptotic expansions in a parameter viewed as ...

Abstract: A continuum theory with microstructure for wave propagation in laminated composites, proposed in previous works concerning propagation normal and parallel to the laminates, is extended herein to ...
