The Paper presents three methods for calculating the natural frequencies of cantilevered curved Beams. A summary is given of the development of two techniques: theoretic value and the result of the experiment. Theoretic value of curved beam vibration analysis are derived from complementary variational principles assuming as unknown stress-displacement result fields. In order to perform free vibration analysis of curved beam, Aluminum-made cantilevered curved beam is used in experiment. Experimental input and output signals are derived from the impact hammer and the one accelemeter are amplificated by an amplifier. The validity of the modal analysis method

In this study, cantilever cylindrical shells with edge-stiffeners are analyzed. A versatile 4-node flat shell element which is useful for the analysis of shell structures is used. An improved flat shell element is established by the combined use of the addition of non-conforming displacement modes and the substitute shear strain fields. Three models by load conditions are considered. Model A, B and C are loaded by point load at the free edge, line load and external pressure respectively. A various parameter examples are presented to obtain proper stiffened length and stiffened thickness of edge-stiffeners. It is shown that the thickness of shell can be reduced more than 50% for Model A, about $20{\sim}30%$ for Model B by appropriate edge-stiffeners.

In this study, composite laminated conical shells with ring stiffeners are analyzed. A versatile 4-node shell element which is useful for the analysis of conical shell structures is used. An improved flat shell element is established by the combined use of the addition of non-conforming displacement modes and the substitute shear strain fields. The proposed element has six degrees of freedom per node and permits an easy connection to other types(beam element) of Optimum location and optimum section properties of ring stiffeners are obtained. It is shown that the thickness of conical shell is reduced about 20% by optimum ring stiffeners.

The solute transport in a two-dimensional heterogeneous porous medium is numerically studied by using a random walk particle tracking (RWPT) method. Lognormally isotropic hydraulic conductivity fields are generated by using the turning band methods with mean zero and four different values of standard deviation. The numerical transport experiments are carried out to investigate the large time and spatial effects of the variable pore velocity field on solute plumes. The behavior of the solute plume through numerical simulations is presented in terms of longitudinal and transverse spatial moments: displacement of center-of-mass, plume spread variance and skewness coefficient. It was observed that the dispersive behavior of the solute plume is strongly affected by the degree of heterogeneity in the flow domain.

In-plane ESPI(Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry) was devised to measure in-plane deformations and rotation of a specimen with laser in this study. ESPI is a optical measuring method to be able to measure the deformations of engineering components and materials in industrial fields. The conventional measuring methods of surface deformations such as the strain gauge have many demerits because they are contact and point-to-point measuring ones. But that ESPI is noncontact, nondestructive and whole field measuring method can overcome previous disadvantages. We used ESPI which is sensitive to in-plane displacement for measuring in-plane deformations of a disk. And the 4-frame phase shifting method was used for the quantitative analysis. First of all, the system calibration was done due to an in-plane rotation before getting deformations of a disk. Finally we showed good agreement between the experiment results and those of the FEA(Finite Element Analysis).

Elasticity solutions for bi-directional functionally graded beams subjected to arbitrary lateral loads are conducted, with emphasis on the end effects. The material is considered macroscopically isotropic, with Young's modulus varying exponentially in both axial and thickness directions, while Poisson's ratio remaining constant. In order to obtain an exact analysis of stress and displacement fields, the symplectic analysis based on Hamiltonian state space approach is employed. The capability of the symplectic framework for exact analysis of bi-directional functionally graded beams has been validated by comparing numerical results with corresponding ones in open literature. Numerical results are provided to demonstrate the influences of the material gradations on localized stress distributions. Thus, the material properties of the bi-directional functionally graded beam can be tailored for the potential practical purpose by choosing suitable graded indices.

In this paper, a continuum-based design sensitivity analysis (DSA) method is developed for the weakly coupled thermo-elasticity problems. The temperature and displacement fields are described in a common domain. Boundary value problems such as an equilibrium equation and a heat conduction equation in steady state are considered. The direct differentiation method of continuum-based DSA is employed to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of sensitivity computation. We derive design sensitivity expressions with respect to thermal conductivity in heat conduction problem and Young's modulus in equilibrium equation. The sensitivities are evaluated using the finite element method. The obtained analytical sensitivities are compared with the finite differencing to yield very accurate results. Extensive developments of this method are useful and applicable for the optimal design problems incorporating welding and thermal deformation problems.

This work aims to analyze the thermo-viscoelastic interaction in an orthotropic solid cylinder. The medium is considered to be variable thermal conductivity and subjected to temperature pulse. Analytical solution based on dual-phase-lags model with Voigt-type for behavior of viscoelastic material has been effectively proposed. All variables are deduced using method of Laplace transforms. Numerical results for different distribution fields, such as temperature, displacement and stress components are graphically presented. Results are discussed to illustrate the effect of variability thermal conductivity parameter as well as phase-lags and viscoelasticity on the field quantities. Results are obtained when the viscosity is ignored with and without considering variability of thermal conductivity. A comparison study is made and all results are investigated.

In this paper, wave propagation is studied and analyzed in double-layered nanotubes systems via the nonlocal strain gradient theory. To the author's knowledge, the present paper is the first to investigate the wave propagation characteristics of double-layered porous nanotubes systems. It is generally considered that the material properties of nanotubes are related to the porosity and hygro-thermal effects. The governing equations of the double-layered nanotubes systems are derived by using the Hamilton principle. The dispersion relations and displacement fields of wave propagation in the double nanotubes systems which experience three different types of motion are obtained and discussed. The results show that the phase velocities of the double nanotubes systems depend on porosity, humidity change, temperature change, material composition, non-local parameter, strain gradient parameter, interlayer spring, and wave number.

The present research deals with two-dimensional axisymmetric deformation in transversely isotropic magneto thermoelastic solid with and without energy dissipation, with two temperature and time-harmonic source. The proposed model is helpful for finding the type of relations between mechanical and thermal fields as most of the structural elements of heavy industries are frequently related to mechanical and thermal stresses at a higher temperature. The Hankel transform has been used to find a solution to the problem. The displacement components, stress components, and temperature distribution with the horizontal distance in the physical domain are calculated numerically. The effect of time-harmonic source and two temperature is depicted graphically on the resulting quantities.
