In this paper, a new hybrid approach is presented based on the combination of the power series expansions and the Rayleigh-Ritz method for stability and free vibration analyses of axially functionally ...

The present article deals with static and dynamic behavior of functionally graded skew plates based on the three-dimensional theory of elasticity. On the basis of the principle of minimum potential ...

Humanity’s quest for knowledge is our most striking feature. No other animal asks why or how things work, but humans aren’t content to enjoy the world as it is. We must ask why and tinker to make ...
