In previous paper[1], the authors had compared the current status of European and US rotorcraft development status. In this paper, more detailed procedures have been studied how the European rotorcraft technologies are developed preparing for 21 st century to be more competitive to US. For the systematic procedure to develop next generation aviation technologies including rotorcraft, the pan-European organization, ACARE, was established, and proposed major research agenda for next generation aviation technologies and businesses. Based on the proposed research agenda, all the R&D programs supported by EU are reorganized to be more efficient and competitive. The procedures for the rotorcraft technologies are, first, cabin noise/vibration reduction program (FRIENDCOPTER), second, core technologies to increase of rotor efficiencies and reduce rotor noise (GRC), and then finally to develop fast/long-range next generation rotorcraft (Fast Rotorcraft). As mentioned in previously, all the R&D procedure has to satisfy basic research agenda especially the environmental impact. With theses procedure, the European rotorcraft business had successful achievements not only in current and future market share, but also preparing for next generation rotorcraft platform such as compound and tilt-rotor rotorcraft satisfying market needs.

This article deals with the flexural analysis of anti-symmetric cross-ply laminated plates under nonlinear thermal loading using a refined plate theory with four variables. In this theory, the undetermined integral terms are used and the number of variables is reduced to four, instead of five or more in other higher-order theories. The boundary conditions on the top and the bottom surfaces of the plate are satisfied; hence the use of the transverse shear correction factors is avoided. The principle of virtual work is used to obtain governing equations and boundary conditions. Navier solution for simply supported plates is used to derive analytical solutions. For the validation of the present theory, numerical results for displacements and stresses are compared with those of classical, first-order, higher-order and trigonometric shear theories reported in the literature.

Korean Janggi and Western plow to have developed for a long time in the east and west were tested and compared in their draft resistance. The charaderistic of Korean Janggi and plow to be able to make deep plowing, on of the most important factors influeneed the increased yield, were ofserved. The study was undertaken to obtain these basic factors' to device and construct the deep plowing Janggi. The results were as follow; 1. The draft resistance of Korean Janggi far less than that of plow and on the dry field, the influence of soil moisture contant to the draft resistance was larger in the Korean Janggi than in the western plow, but on the rice paddy, there was not differences between them. 2. The plow was more stable than that of Janggi in their operation. 3. The relation ship between the specific draft resistance and plowing depth was shown bygthe carved equation. $$K=Ax+\frac{B}{x}+C$$(K ; specific draft restance, x; plowing depth) A, B, C; Constant controled by soil and instrument factor) 4. Minimam values of the specific draft resistance were as follow; a. On the dry field; Korean Janggi; x = $8{\sim}14cm$ $4K=280{\sim}330gr/cm^2$$ Westean plow; x=$10{\sim}12cm$ $$K=480{\sim}490gr/cm^2$$ 6. On the rice paddy; Korean Janggi; x=$8{\sim}12cm$ $$K=255{\sim}280gr/cm^2$ Western plow; x=$7{\sim}10cm$ $$K=415{\sim}420grc/m^2$$

In this investigation, study of the bending response of functionally graded (FG) porous plates is presented using a cubic shear deformation theory. The properties of the FG-plate vary according to a power-law distribution which is modified to approximate material characteristics for considering the effect of porosities. The equilibrium equations are derived by using the principle of virtual work and solved by using Navier's procedure. Various numerical results are discussed to demonstrate the influence of the variation of the power index, the porosity parameter and the geometric ratios on the bending response of FG porous plates.

In the present study, a mechanical model is applied to account the effects of the surrounding viscoelastic media on the buckling behavior of single microfilament within the cell. The model immeasurably associates filament's bending rigidity, neighboring system elasticity, and cytosol viscosity with buckling wavelengths, buckling growth rates and buckling amplitudes of the filament. Cytoskeleton components in living cell bear large compressive force and are responsible in maintaining the cell shape. Actually these filaments are surrounded by viscoelastic media consisting of other filaments network and viscous cytosole within the cell. This surrounding, viscoelastic media affects the buckling behavior of these filaments when external force is applied on these filaments. The obtained results, indicate that the coupling of viscoelastic media with the viscous cytosol greatly affect the buckling behavior of microfilament. The buckling forces increased with the increase in the intensity of surrounding viscoelastic media.

In this work, the buckling and vibrational behavior of the composite beam armed with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SW-CNT) resting on Winkler-Pasternak elastic foundation are investigated. The CNT-RC beam is modeled by a novel integral first order shear deformation theory. The current theory contains three variables and uses the shear correction factors. The equivalent properties of the CNT-RC beam are computed using the mixture rule. The equations of motion are derived and resolved by Applying the Hamilton's principle and Navier solution on the current model. The accuracy of the current model is verified by comparison studies with others models found in the literature. Also, several parametric studies and their discussions are presented.

This paper aims to present an analytical model to predict the static analysis of laminated reinforced composite plates subjected to sinusoidal and uniform loads by using a simple first-order shear deformation theory (SFSDT). The most important aspect of the present theory is that unlike the conventional FSDT, the proposed model contains only four unknown variables. This is due to the fact that the inplane displacement field is selected according to an undetermined integral component in order to reduce the number of unknowns. The governing differential equations are derived by employing the static version of principle of virtual work and solved by applying Navier's solution procedure. The non-dimensional displacements and stresses of simply supported antisymmetric cross-ply and angle-ply laminated plates are presented and compared with the exact 3D solutions and those computed using other plate theories to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the present theory. It is found from these comparisons that the numerical results provided by the present model are in close agreement with those obtained by using the conventional FSDT.

This paper deals with the static and dynamic behavior of Functionally Graded Carbon Nanotubes (FG-CNT)-reinforced porous sandwich (PMPV) polymer plate. The model of nanocomposite plate is investigated within the first order shear deformation theory (FSDT). Two types of porous sandwich plates are supposed (sandwich with face sheets reinforced / homogeneous core and sandwich with homogeneous face sheets / reinforced core). Functionally graded Carbon Nanotubes (FG-CNT) and uniformly Carbon Nanotubes (UD-CNT) distributions of face sheets or core porous plates with uniaxially aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes are considered. The governing equations are derived by using Hamilton's principle. The solution for bending and vibration of such type's porous plates are obtained. The detailed mathematical derivations are provided and the solutions are compared to some cases in the literature. The effect of the several parameters of reinforced sandwich porous plates such as aspect ratios, volume fraction, types of reinforcement, number of modes and thickness of plate on the bending and vibration analyses are studied and discussed. On the question of porosity, this study found that there is a great influence of their variation on the static and vibration of porous sandwich plate.

This work investigates the effect of Winkler/Pasternak/Kerr foundation and porosity on dynamic behavior of FG plates using a simple quasi-3D hyperbolic theory. Four different patterns of porosity variations are considered in this study. The used quasi-3D hyperbolic theory is simple and easy to apply because it considers only four-unknown variables to determine the four coupled vibration responses (axial-shear-flexion-stretching). A detailed parametric study is established to evaluate the influences of gradient index, porosity parameter, stiffness of foundation parameters, mode numbers, and geometry on the natural frequencies of imperfect FG plates.

In this article, the mechanical buckling analysis of simply-supported functionally graded plates is carried out using a higher shear deformation theory (HSDT) in conjunction with the stress function method. The proposed formulation is variationally consistent, does not use a shear correction factor and gives rise to a variation of transverse shear stress such that the transverse shear stresses vary parabolically through the thickness satisfying the surface conditions without stress of shear. The properties of the plate are supposed to vary across the thickness according to a simple power law variation in terms of volume fraction of the constituents of the material. Numerical results are obtained to study the influences of the power law index and the geometric ratio on the critical buckling load.
