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 ...

Axially-functionally graded materials are/ types of traditional composite materials in which the mechanical and physical properties are gradually varied from one end to the other. They were used ...

Abstract: This article introduces a novel variational formula for modeling waveguides with uniformly curved longitudinal axes. Using the Rayleigh-Ritz method, we analyze the electromagnetic fields in ...

Microscope images could be obtained much more quickly -- rather than one pixel at a time -- thanks to a new imaging method for neutral atomic beam microscopes. It could ultimately lead to engineers ...

In this paper, an analytical approach for global buckling of ring-stiffened sandwich cylindrical shells is presented with layerwise theory (LWT). Appropriate displacement functions are assumed ...
