In this paper, we investigate the natural frequencies and buckling loads of functionally graded material (FGM) plates and shells, using a quasi-conforming shell element that accounts for the transverse shear strains and rotary inertia. The eigenvalue of the FGM plates and shells are calculated by varying the volume fraction of the ceramic and metallic constituents using a sigmoid function, but their Poisson's ratios of the FGM plates and shells are assumed to be constant. The expressions of the membrane, bending and shear stiffness of FGM shell element are more complicated combination of material properties than a homogeneous element. In order to validate the finite element numerical solutions, the Navier's solutions of rectangular plates based on the first-order shear deformation theory are presented. The present numerical solutions of composite and sigmoid FGM (S-FGM) plates are proved by the Navier's solutionsand various examples of composite and FGM structures are presented. The present results are in good agreement with the Navier's theoretical solutions.

Numerical boundary conditions are as important as the governing equations when analyzing the fluid flows numerically. An explicit boundary condition method updates the solutions at the boundaries with extrapolation from the interior of the computational domain, while the implicit boundary condition method in conjunction with an implicit time integration method solves the solutions of the entire computational domain including the boundaries simultaneously. The implicit boundary condition method, therefore, is more robust than the explicit boundary condition method. In this paper, steady compressible 2-Dimensional Navier-Stokes solver is developed. We present the implicit boundary condition method coupled with LU-SGS(Lower Upper Symmetric Gauss Seidel) method. Also, the explicit boundary condition method is implemented for comparison. The preconditioning Navier-Stokes equations are solved on unstructured meshes. The numerical computations for a number of flows show that the implicit boundary condition method can give accurate solutions.

We consider the Newton's method for an direct solver of the optimal control problems of the Navier-Stokes equations. We show that the finite element solutions of the optimal control problem for Stoke equations may be chosen as the initial guess for the quadratic convergence of Newton's algorithm applied to the optimal control problem for the Navier-Stokes equations provided there are sufficiently small mesh size h and the moderate Reynold's number.

An efficient shear deformation beam theory is developed for thermo-elastic vibration of FGM beams. The theory accounts for parabolic distribution of the transverse shear strains and satisfies the zero traction boundary conditions on the on the surfaces of the beam without using shear correction factors. The material properties of the FGM beam are assumed to be temperature dependent, and change gradually in the thickness direction. Three cases of temperature distribution in the form of uniformity, linearity, and nonlinearity are considered through the beam thickness. Based on the present refined beam theory, the equations of motion are derived from Hamilton's principle. The closed-form solutions of functionally graded beams are obtained using Navier solution. Numerical results are presented to investigate the effects of temperature distributions, material parameters, thermal moments and slenderness ratios on the natural frequencies. The accuracy of the present solutions is verified by comparing the obtained results with the existing solutions.

General classes of boundary-pressure-driven flows of incompressible Newtonian fluids in three­dimensional (3D) channels and in 3D pipes with known steady laminar realizations are investigated respectively. The characteristic physical and geometrical quantities of the flows are subsumed in the kinetic Reynolds number Re and a parameter $\psi$, which involves the energetic ratio and the directions of the boundary-driven part and the pressure-driven part of the laminar flow. The solution of non-stationary dimension-free Navier-Stokes equations is sought in the form $\underline{u}=u_{L}+U,\;where\;u_{L}$ is the scaled laminar velocity and periodical conditions are prescribed for U in the unbounded directions. The objects of our numerical investigations are autonomous systems (S) of ordinary differential equations for the time-dependent coefficients of the spatial Stokes eigenfunction, where these systems (S) were received by application of the Galerkin-method to the dimension-free Navier-Stokes equations for u.

We consider weak solutions of the instationary Navier-Stokes system in a smooth bounded domain ${\Omega}{\subset}{\mathbb{R}}^3$ with initial value $u_0{\in}L^2_{\sigma}({\Omega})$. It is known that a weak solution is a local strong solution in the sense of Serrin if $u_0$ satisfies the optimal initial value condition $u_0{\in}B^{-1+3/q}_{q,s_q}$ with Serrin exponents $s_q$ > 2, q > 3 such that ${\frac{2}{s_q}}+{\frac{3}{q}}=1$. This result has recently been generalized by the authors to weighted Serrin conditions such that u is contained in the weighted Serrin class ${{\int}_0^T}({\tau}^{\alpha}{\parallel}u({\tau}){\parallel}_q)^s$ $d{\tau}$ < ${\infty}$ with ${\frac{2}{s}}+{\frac{3}{q}}=1-2{\alpha}$, 0 < ${\alpha}$ < ${\frac{1}{2}}$. This regularity is guaranteed if and only if $u_0$ is contained in the Besov space $B^{-1+3/q}_{q,s}$. In this article we consider the limit case of initial values in the Besov space $B^{-1+3/q}_{q,{\infty}}$ and in its subspace ${{\circ}\atop{B}}^{-1+3/q}_{q,{\infty}}$ based on the continuous interpolation functor. Special emphasis is put on questions of uniqueness within the class of weak solutions.

The objective of the present paper is to investigate the bending and free vibration behavior of functionally graded material (FGM) sandwich rectangular plates using an efficient and simple higher order shear deformation theory. Unlike other theories, there are only four unknown functions involved, as compared to five in other shear deformation theories. The most interesting feature of this theory is that it does not require the shear correction factor. Two common types of FGM sandwich plates are considered, namely, the sandwich with the FGM facesheet and the homogeneous core and the sandwich with the homogeneous facesheet and the FGM core. The equation of motion for the FGM sandwich plates is obtained based on Hamilton's principle. The closed form solutions are obtained by using the Navier technique. A static and free vibration frequency is given for different material properties. The accuracy of the present solutions is verified by comparing the obtained results with the existing solutions.

The response of functionally graded ceramic-metal plates is investigated using theoretical formulation, Navier's solutions, and a new displacement based on the high-order shear deformation theory are presented for static analysis of functionally graded plates. The theory accounts for a quadratic variation of the transverse shear strains across the thickness, and satisfies the zero traction boundary conditions on the top and bottom surfaces of the plate without using shear correction factors. The plates are assumed to have isotropic, two-constituent material distribution through the thickness, and the modulus of elasticity of the plate is assumed to vary according to a power-law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. Numerical results of the new refined plate theory are presented to show the effect of the material distribution on the deflections, stresses and fundamental frequencies. It can be concluded that the proposed theory is accurate and simple in solving the static and free vibration behavior of functionally graded plates.

This paper uses the four-variable refined plate theory for the free vibration analysis of functionally graded material (FGM) rectangular plates. The plate properties are assumed to be varied through the thickness following a simple power law distribution in terms of volume fraction of material constituents. The theory presented is variationally consistent, does not require shear correction factor, and gives rise to transverse shear stress variation such that the transverse shear stresses vary parabolically across the thickness satisfying shear stress free surface conditions. Equations of motion are derived from the Hamilton's principle. The closed-form solutions of functionally graded plates are obtained using Navier solution. Numerical results of the refined plate theory are presented to show the effect of the material distribution, the aspect and side-to-thickness ratio on the fundamental frequencies. It can be concluded that the proposed theory is accurate and simple in solving the free vibration behavior of functionally graded plates.
