In this paper, the buckling of micro sandwich hollow circular plate is investigated with the consideration of the porous core and piezoelectric layer reinforced by functionally graded (FG)carbon nano-tube. For modeling the displacement field of sandwich hollow circular plate, the high-order shear deformation theory (HSDT) of plate and modified couple stress theory (MCST) are used. The governing differential equations of the system can be derived using the principle of minimum potential energy and Maxwell's equation that for solving these equations, the Ritz method is employed. The results of this research indicate the influence of various parameters such as porous coefficients, small length scale parameter, distribution of carbon nano-tube in piezoelectric layers and temperature on critical buckling load. The purpose of this research is to show the effect of physical parameters on the critical buckling load of micro sandwich plate and then optimize these parameters to design structures with the best efficiency. The results of this research can be used for optimization of micro-structures and manufacturing different structure in aircraft and aerospace.

Resilient pads play a major role in reducing the impact of loads on a rail in a rail-fastening system, which is essentially used for a concrete track. Although a compression set test is commonly used to measure the durability of a resilient pad, the static spring constant is often observed to be different from the fatigue test. In this study, a modified compression set test method was proposed to monitor the variations in the compression set and static spring constant of a resilient pad with respect to temperature and time. In addition, the life of the resilient pad was predicted by performing an acceleration test based on the Arrhenius equation.

This paper investigates creep analysis of a plate made of Al-SiC functionally graded material using Mendelson's method of successive elastic solution. All mechanical and thermal material properties, except Poisson's ratio, are assumed to be variable along the thickness direction based on the volume fraction of reinforcement and thickness. First, the basic relations of the plate are derived using the Love-Kirchhoff plate theory. The solution of governing equations yields an elastic solution to start creep analysis. The creep behavior is demonstrated through Norton's equation based on Pandey's experimental results extracted for Al-SiC functionally graded material. A linear variation is assumed for temperature distribution along the thickness direction. The creep strain, as well as the thermal strain, are included in the governing equations derived from classical plate theory for mechanical strain. A successive elastic solution based on Mendelson's method is employed to derive the history of stresses, strains, and displacements over a long time. History of stresses and deformations are obtained over a long time to predict damage to the plate because of various loadings, and material composition along the thickness and planar directions.

The unsteady mixed convection Casson type MHD nanofluid flow in the stagnation point with motile microorganism around a spinning sphere is investigated. Time dependent flow dynamics is considered. Similarity transformations have been employed to transfer the governing partial differential structure into ordinary differential structure. The impact of distinct parameters is examined via tables and graphs. The impact of rotational parameter (spin) on profiles of velocity profiles, temperature and concentration is revealed for unsteady mixed convection Casson type MHD nanofluid flow. It is observed that it is clear that rotational parameter has a great effect on non-dimensional primary velocity component but rotational parameter has a slight impact on non-dimensional secondary velocity component. The validity of the current investigation is authorized through comparing the existing outcomes with previous published literature.

Sport has no age limit and can be done anywhere and in any condition with minimal equipment. The existence of sports spaces in all parts of the world is considered a citizen's right. One of the activities carried out in this field is installing sports equipment and structures in parks and encouraging citizens to use this equipment for physical health with the least cost and facilities. Installing sports structures in open spaces such as parks is a practical step for developing citizens' sports. Although using devices in parks is acceptable, it is more critical to meet scientific and technical standards. The components of these structures must have high strength and endurance against changes in environmental conditions such as humidity, temperature difference, and corrosion. Among the various causes of material degradation, corrosion has always been one of several fundamental causes of metal equipment failure. Sports structures in open spaces are not safe from corrosion. Uniform corrosion is the most common type of corrosion. This corrosion usually occurs uniformly through a chemical or electrochemical reaction across the surface exposed to the corrosive environment. Rust and corrosion of outdoor sports structures are examples of this corrosion. For this reason, in this research, with the green synthesis of silica nanoparticles and its application in outdoor sports structures, the life span of these structures can be increased for the use of physical exercises as well as their quality.

In this study, light-heat generating materials were produced in two ways, and the performance of two light-generating insulation sheets was reviewed. As a result of the experiment, it was possible to confirm the improved heating performance of the light heating insulation sheet compared to the existing bubble sheet. The light heat insulation sheet (b) showed improved thermal properties compared to the existing bubble sheet, and it is believed that the temperature has increased due to the combined effect of initial hydration heat and heat generation after installation. In future studies additional experiments are needed to compensate for the insufficient insulation performance due to the single bubble sheet through the double bubble sheet and to adjust the amount of light-generating materials added as a consideration of the optimal heat-generating effect of the light-generating insulation sheet (b).

Beam-shaped components commonly rotate along a fixed axis when massive mechanical structures like rotors, jet engine blades, motor turbines, and rotating railway crossings perform their functions. For these structures to be useful in real life, their mechanical behavior is essential. Therefore, this is the first article to use the modified shear deformation theory type hyperbolic sine functions theory and the FEM to study the static bending response of rotating functionally graded GPL-reinforced composite (FG-GPLRC) beams with initial geometrical deficiencies in thermal media. Graphene platelets (GPLs) in three different configurations are woven into the beam's composition to increase its strength. By comparing the numerical results with those of previously published studies, we can assess the robustness of the theory and mechanical model employed in this study. Parameter studies are performed to determine the effect of various geometric and physical variables, such as rotation speed and temperature, on the bending reactions of structures.

콘크리트의 화학적 침식은 콘크리트 구조물의 내구성 감소로 이어져 문제가 되고 있다. 현재 사용되고 있는 콘크리트 표면보호재의 내구수명이 짧아 유지보수에 많은 비용과 노력이 요구되고 있다. 한편 국내 산업시설에서 유황의 부산량이 늘어나고 있으나, 소비량이 한정되어 있어 잉여유황이 증가하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 유황폴리머를 콘크리트의 표면보호재로 사용하기 위한 연구로써 채움재의 종류 및 양생조건에 따른 역학적 특성을 평가하였고, 유황폴리머에 대한 유해성을 평가하였다. 압축강도 평가 결과 채움재의 치환비율이 40%까지 증가할수록 압축강도 또한 증가하였으며, 채움재의 종류에 따라 양생온도 $40^{\circ}C$ (SS, FA)와 $60^{\circ}C$ (OPC)에서 높은 압축강도를 나타냈다. 기건양생과 수중양생의 압축강도 차는 미미한 것으로 나타나 양생 시 수분에 의한 영향은 크지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 부착강도 평가 결과 채움재의 종류와 무관하게 기건상태 $40^{\circ}C$에서 가장 높은 부착강도를 나타냈으며, 수중양생시 기건양생에 비하여 부착이 되지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 $60^{\circ}C$에서 양생한 공시체의 경우 온도에 영향을 받아 변색 및 잔갈림 등이 나타냈으며, 채움재의 종류에 따라 치환 비율 20% (SS, FA) 30% (OPC)에서 가장 높은 부착강도를 나타냈다. 유해물질 용출시험 결과, 유해물질이 용출되지 않아 유황폴리머를 활용한 표면보호재의 유해성이 없는 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구범위에서 검토한 결과, 유황폴리머를 표면보호재로 활용하기 위해서는 규사를 20% 정도 치환하여 배합하고 $40^{\circ}C$의 기건상태에서 양생하는 것이 가장 적절한 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 겨울철 타설된 콘크리트 표면을 낮은 열전도율 재료로 덮어 주므로서 우수한 단열성을 갖으며, 높은 전용성으로 경제성까지 뛰어난 2중 버블시트에 의한 표면피복 양생공법에 대하여 검토하였다. 하지만, 벽식구조 건축물 시공의 경우 버블시트로 포설되는 슬래브 부분은 초기동해를 방지할 수 있지만, 노출 철근 부분의 경우 버블시트의 포설이 까다롭기 때문에 이 부분에 대한 양생법 변화는 초기동해 피해 여부와 관련하여 의구심이 제기되고 있다. 그러므로, 본 연구에서는 실제 시공중인 벽식구조 Apt 현장의 벽체부분을 동절기 저온 조건하에서 시공하는 것을 모사하여 각종 표면피복 양생방법 변화에 따른 매립 및 노출철근 부분의 위치별 온도 분포 특성을 분석하여 효율적인 양생방법을 제안하고자 하였다. 그 결과, 여러 양생방법 중 D방법의 양생이 가장 우수하게 초기동해를 방지할 수 있는 것으로 판명되었다. 그러나, 시공의 효율성 및 시공의 편리성 까지도 감안하면 철근과 철근의 간격부 만큼에 버블시트를 좁은 폭으로 잘라 덮어주는 B방법도 우수한 방법으로 추천된다.
