Abstract: Reynolds equation for the pressure in a full finite journal bearing which is nonhomogeneous has been reduced to a homogeneous equation. By separating the variables the problem is reduced to ...

Abstract: A local and conditional linearization of vector fields, referred to as locally transversal linearization (LTL), is developed for accurately solving nonlinear and/or nonintegrable boundary value ...

Abstract: The nonlinear static response and vibration behavior of cross-ply laminated cylindrical shell panels subjected to axial compression combined with other secondary loading are examined. The shell ...

Abstract: In this paper, the nonlinear static and free vibration analyses of doubly curved cross-ply laminated panels subjected to thermomechanical loading are examined. The shell theory adopted in the present case is an extension ...

Abstract: The postbuckling analysis of symmetric and antisymmetric cross-ply laminated cylindrical shell panels subjected to thermomechanical loading is examined in this paper. The formulation is based on an extension of Reissner’s ...

Abstract: In the present study, the geometrically nonlinear dynamic response of bimodulus annular and circular plates is obtained. The governing equations of the problem are formulated using the energy ...

Abstract: This paper presents a study of buckling and postbuckling behaviour of simply supported composite plates subjected to nonuniform in-plane loading. The mathematical model is based on higher order shear deformation theory ...
