The accurate dynamic analysis of concrete arch dams relies heavily on employing a three-dimensional semi-infinite fluid element. The usual method for calculating the impedance matrix of this fluid hyper-element is dependent on the solution of a...

In this paper a thick hollow cylinder with finite length made of two-dimensional functionally graded

material (2D-FGM) and subjected to impact internal pressure is considered. The axisymmetric conditions

are ...

This work studies transient thermal stresses in a Alumina - Aluminum FG Cylinders using analytical method. The material properties are considered to be nonlinear with a power law distribution through the thickness. The ...

. In this paper, a mathematical model, named equivalent dynamic thermoviscoelastic (EDT) model, based on thermal analogy and beam theory is proposed for dynamic analysis of bending-type ionic polymer actuators. Then, the developed model is extended for analyzing...

The stochastic meshless local Petrov–Galerkin method is employed for dynamic analysis of cylinders

made of fully saturated porous materials with considering uncertainties in the constitutive mechanical

properties. The porous cylinder...
