The nonlinear buckling response of nano composite anti-symmetric functionally graded polymeric microplate reinforced by single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) rested on orthotropic elastomeric foundation with temperature dependent properties is investigated. For the carbon-nanotube reinforced composite (CNTRC) microplate, a uniform distribution (UD) and four types of functionally graded (FG) distribution are considered. Based on orthotropic Mindlin plate theory, von Karman geometric nonlinearity and Hamilton's principle, the governing equations are derived. Generalized differential quadrature method (GDQM) is employed to calculate the non-linear buckling response of the plate. Effects of FG distribution type, elastomeric foundation, aspect ratio (thickness to width ratio), boundary condition, orientation of foundation orthotropy and temperature are considered. The results are validated. It is found that the critical buckling load without elastic medium is significantly lower than considering Winkler and Pasternak medium.

이 연구에서는 메탄 하이드레이트 부존 지역의 속도 분포를 구하기 위해서 무작위 불균질 모델을 개발하였다. P 파 물리검층 자료는 von Karman 유형의 자기상관함수와 비가우스 확률 분포를 가진다. 속도 분포는 수백 m/s의 차이가 나는 두 개의 정점(peak)들을 갖는다. 이중모드 속도 분포를 가진 무작위 불균질 매질의 모델은 normal spectral-based generation 방법에 의해 만들어진, 가우스 속도 분포를 갖는 매질의 사상을 통해 만들어졌다. 또한 타원 자기상관 함수를 이용하여 무작위 매질에 자기상관 길이의 이방성을 첨가하였다. 유사 P 파 속도 검층기록은 현장자료의 특징을 잘 구현해냈다. 이 모델을 두 개의 탄성파 전파 수치 모형에 적용하였다. 두 개의 다른 주파수 대역의 송신신호들에 의해 만들어진 합성 반사 단면도들을 통해 이중모드 분포를 가진 무작위 모델의 속도 변화가 파의 산란에 영향을 줌으로써 BSR의 주파수 의존성의 원인이 됨을 알 수 있다. 합성 시추공간 단면도는 현장자료에서 보여지는 심한 감쇠가 산란에 의한 부가적인 진폭 감쇠에 의한 것임을 보여주고 있다. 결론적으로 이중모드 분포를 가진 무작위 불균질성은 하이드레이트 부존층 모델링의 핵심이고, 이를 통해 하이드레이트 부존 지역의 탄성파 단면도들에서 관찰되는 주파수 의존성과 산란현상에 대해 설명할 수 있다.

In the present research, an attempt is made to obtain a semi analytical solution for both nonlinear natural frequency and forced vibration of embedded functionally graded double layered nanoplates with all edges simply supported based on nonlocal strain gradient elasticity theory. The interaction of van der Waals forces between adjacent layers is included. For modeling surrounding elastic medium, the nonlinear Winkler-Pasternak foundation model is employed. The governing partial differential equations have been derived based on the Mindlin plate theory utilizing the von Karman strain-displacement relations. Subsequently, using the Galerkin method, the governing equations sets are reduced to nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The semi analytical solution of the nonlinear natural frequencies using the homotopy analysis method and the exact solution of the nonlinear forced vibration through the Harmonic Balance method are then established. The results show that the length scale parameters give nonlinearity of the hardening type in frequency response curve and the increase in material length scale parameter causes to increase in maximum response amplitude, whereas the increase in nonlocal parameter causes to decrease in maximum response amplitude. Increasing the material length scale parameter increases the width of unstable region in the frequency response curve.

Markov envelope as a theoretical solution of the parabolic wave equation with Markov approximation for the von Kármán type random medium is studied and approximated with the convolution of two probability density functions (pdf) of normal and gamma distributions considering the previous studies on the applications of Radiative Transfer Theory (RTT) and the analysis results of earthquake records. Through the approximation with gamma pdf, the constant shape parameter of 2 was determined regardless of the source distance r_o. This finding means that the scattering process has the property of an inhomogeneous single-scattering Poisson process, unlike the previous studies, which resulted in a homogeneous multiple-scattering Poisson process. Approximated Markov envelope can be treated as the normalized mean square (MS) envelope for ground acceleration because of the flat source Fourier spectrum. Based on such characteristics, the path duration is estimated from the approximated MS envelope and compared to the empirical formula derived by Boore and Thompson. The results clearly show that the path duration increases proportionately to r_o^1/2-r_o², and the peak value of the RMS envelope is attenuated by exp (-0.0033r_o), excluding the geometrical attenuation. The attenuation slope for r_o≤100 km is quite similar to that of effective attenuation for shallow crustal earthquakes, and it may be difficult to distinguish the contribution of intrinsic attenuation from effective attenuation. Slowly varying dispersive delay, also called the medium effect, represented by regular pdf, governs the path duration for the source distance shorter than 100 km. Moreover, the diffraction term, also called the distance effect because of scattering, fully controls the path duration beyond the source distance of 300 km and has a steep gradient compared to the medium effect. Source distance 100-300 km is a transition range of the path duration governing effect from random medium to distance. This means that the scattering may not be the prime cause of peak attenuation and envelope broadening for the source distance of less than 200 km. Furthermore, it is also shown that normal distribution is appropriate for the probability distribution of phase difference, as asserted in the previous studies.
