In this paper, we focus on the bending behavior of isotropic doubly-curved nanoshells based on a high-order shear deformation theory, whose shape functions are selected as an accurate combination of exponential and trigonometric functions instead of the classical polynomial functions. The small-scale effect of the nanostructure is modeled according to the differential law consequent, but is not equivalent to the strain-driven nonlocal integral theory of elasticity equipped with Helmholtz’s averaging kernel. The governing equations of the problem are obtained from the Hamilton’s principle, whereas the Navier’s series are proposed for a closed form solution of the structural problem involving simply-supported nanostructures. The work provides a unified framework for the bending study of both thin and thick symmetric doubly-curved shallow and deep nanoshells, while investigating spherical and cylindrical panels subjected to a point or a sinusoidal loading condition. The effect of several parameters, such as the nonlocal parameter, as well as the mechanical and geometrical properties, is investigated on the bending deflection of isotropic doubly-curved shallow and deep nanoshells. The numerical results from our investigation could be considered as valid benchmarks in the literature for possible further analyses of doubly-curved applications in nanotechnology.

In this study, we focus on the bending analysis of the 2 D FG nanoplate based on a new high-order shear deformation theory (HSDT). This kind of HSDT is one of the most accurate HSDT because the shape functions are selected as an accurate combination of exponential, trigonometric and polynomial functions. The mechanical properties of the nanoplate vary along the length and thickness, based on arbitrary functions. The small scale effect of the nanostructure is modeled according to the nonlocal theory of elasticity. The governing equations of the problem are obtained from Hamilton’s principle, whereas the Galerkin method is proposed for a closed-form solution of the structural problem for simply-supported nanostructures. The work provides a unified framework for the mechanical analysis of both thin and thick plates. The effect of several parameters, such as the nonlocal parameter, as well as the mechanical and geometrical properties and FG indexes, are investigated on the bending deflection of the 2 D FG nanoplates. The numerical results from our investigation could be considered as valid benchmarks in the literature for possible further analyses of nanoplates.

This paper studies the influence of the variable nonlocal parameter and porosity on the free vibration behavior of the functionally graded nanoplates with porosity. Four patterns of distribution of the porosity through the thickness direction are considered. The classical nonlocal elasticity theory is modified to take into account the variation of the nonlocal parameter through the thickness of the nanoplates. The governing equations of motion are established using simple first-order shear deformation theory and Hamilton’s principle. The closed-form solution based on Navier’s technique is employed to solve the governing equations of motion of fully simply supported nanoplates. The accuracy of the present algorithm is proved via some comparison studies in some special cases. Then, the effects of the porosity, the variation of the nonlocal parameter, the power-law index, aspect ratio, and the side-to-thickness ratio on the free vibration of nanoscale porous plates are investigated carefully. The numerical results show that the porosity and nonlocal parameter have strong effects on the free vibration behavior of the nanoplates.

In this paper, modified couple stress formulation of a small scale doubly curved piezoelectric shell resting on Pasternak's foundation is presented based on first-order shear deformation theory. Size-dependent electro-elastic results of doubly curved shell are presented based on an analytical approach. The doubly curved piezoelectric shell is subjected to uniform transverse loads and applied voltage. To account the size dependency, modified couple stress theory is employed in conjunction with principle of virtual work. The numerical results are presented in both tabular and graphical forms to show the influence of small scale parameter, applied voltage, geometries and two parameters of Pasternak's foundation on the electro-elastic results of size-dependent doubly curved piezoelectric shell.

Abstract In this paper, an architecture of a six degrees of freedom (dof) parallel robot and three limbs is described. The robot is called Space Manipulator (SM). In a first step, the inverse kinematic problem for the robot is solved in closed form solution. Further, we need to inverse only a 3 × 3 passive jacobian matrix to solve the direct kinematic problem. In a second step, the dynamic equations are derived by using the Lagrangian formalism where the coordinates are the passive and active joint coordinates. Based on geometrical properties of the robot, the equations of motion are derived in terms of only 9 coordinates related by 3 kinematic constraints. The computational cost of the obtained dynamic model is reduced by using a minimum set of base inertial parameters.

In the current paper, a new semi-energy finite strip method is developed based on the concept of first order shear deformation theory (FSDT) in order to attempt the post-buckling solution for relatively thick composite plates subjected to uniform end-shortening. The main advantage of the semi-energy finite strip method (FSM) is that it is based on the closed form solution of von Karman’s compatibility equation in order to derive the analytical shape functions for the in-plane displacements fields. The developed finite strip method is applied to analyze the post buckling behavior of a relatively thick anti-symmetric cross-ply composite plate with clamped out-of-plane boundary conditions at its loaded ends. The results are discussed in detail and compared with those obtained from finite element method (FEM) of analysis. The study of the results has provided confidence in the validity and capability of the developed finite strip in handling post-buckling problem of relatively thick laminated plates.

This paper presents a new nonlocal thickness-stretching sinusoidal shear deformation beam theory for the static and vibration of nanobeams. The present model incorporates the length scale parameter (nonlocal parameter) which can capture the small scale effect, and it accounts for both shear deformation and thickness stretching effects by a sinusoidal variation of all displacements through the thickness without using shear correction factor. Based on the nonlocal differential constitutive relations of Eringen, the equations of motion of the nanobeam are derived using Hamilton's principle. The effects of nonlocal parameter, aspect ratio and the thickness stretching on the static and dynamic responses of the nanobeam are discussed. The theoretical development presented herein may serve as a reference for nonlocal theories as applied to the bending and dynamic behaviors of complex-nanobeam-system such as complex carbon nanotube system.

Технологии, связанные с формированием двухярусных пакетных сплоточных единиц, перспективны при организации транспорта лесоматериалов по средним и малым рекам. Также они могут быть интересны лесозаготовителям, для которых приобретение специализированной сплоточной техники нецелесообразно или невозможно. Для обеспечения возможности выполнения технологических и прочностных расчетов, связанных с указанными единицами, необходимы сведения о взаимозависимостях их геометрических характеристик. Для получения нужной информации использовали эластиковую теорию. При этом пакеты, составляющие сплоточную единицу, представляли как гибкие невесомые оболочки, заполненные сыпучими средами, находящимися под воздействием сил тяжести и Архимеда. Обвязки нижних пакетов рассматривали как бесперегибные эластики второго рода, обвязки верхних – как комбинации фрагментов двух таких эластик: подводной и надводной. Используя параметрические уравнения указанных кривых, получили замкнутую систему уравнений, отражающих зависимости искомых геометрических характеристик от модулярных углов, параметров эластик и модулярных высот, измерение которых на практике проблематично. Из-за присутствия в системе эллиптических интегралов ее аналитическое решение, обеспечивающее возможность выражения одних общепринятых характеристик через другие используемые на практике параметры оказалось невозможным. Предложили свой алгоритм численного решения системы, реализовали его на компьютере, выполнили соответствующие расчеты. При этом задача была сведена к безразмерному виду с целью уменьшения объема вычислений и обеспечения универсальности их результатов. Опираясь на материалы ранее проведенных исследований, связали значения вычисленных характеристик рассматриваемой сплоточной единицы с соответствующими геометрическими параметрами отдельных пакетов, составляющих ее, при нахождении их на суше или наплаву. Используя результаты выполненных вычислений, получили аппроксимирующие зависимости для сравнительно простого определения искомых геометрических характеристик при практических расчетах и дальнейших научных исследованиях. Установили характер и степень влияния определяющих факторов на указанные характеристики. Достоверность результатов теоретических исследований подтвердили в ходе экспериментальной проверки на моделях. Technologies of forming ofbilevel packaged rafting units are perspective for arrangement of transportation of forest products along the small and medium-scale rivers.Those technologies are potentially useful for small-scale loggers, who are not capable to purchase specialized equipment for rafts forming. The geometric and strength properties of the rafting units are necessary for implementation of relevant technological and strengthening estimations. In order to obtain required information, the elasticity theory was applied. The log packages were considered as flexible shell structures filled up with granular material, effected by gravity and Archimedes forces. The lower packages strappings were deemed as non-inflective second order elasticity, the upper ones – as combinations of fragments of underwater andoverwater elasticities. The circuit system of equations was developed to describe dependence of geometric elements on the elasticities parameters, modular angles and elevations, practical metering of which is problematic.The system contains the elliptical integrals, so the closed form solution was found impossible. The author’s algorithm of a numerical solution of the system is proposed and instrumented. Computations were carried outwithin the practical data span in adimensionless form. Based on the results of the previous studies, the parameters of a rafting unit was associated with the latter of log packages for afloat and ashore positions. The approximating dependencies for theoretical investigations and practical activities were developed. The reliability of estimates was proved via the physical models experiments.

Abstract This paper investigates the influence of surface effects on free transverse vibration of piezoelectric nanowires (NWs). The dynamic model of the NW is tackled using nonlocal Timoshenko beam theory. By implementing this theory with consideration of both non-local effect and surface effect under simply support boundary condition, the natural frequencies of the NW are calculated. Also, a closed form solution is obtained in order to calculate fundamental buckling voltage. Finally, the effect of small scale effect on residual surface tension and critical electric potential is explored. The results can help to design piezo-NW based instruments.

This paper is concerned with the bifurcation buckling of nano-rings and nano-arches where the allowance for small scale effect is catered for by using Eringen's nonlocal theory of elasticity. Exact buckling solutions for nano-rings and nano-arches under uniform radial pressure are derived and the influence of small scale effect on the buckling pressures and mode shapes is investigated. The new results presented will be useful to engineers who are designing nano-rings and nano-arches to be used in MEMS and NEMS devices.

SynopsisIn this paper the author investigates a system of simultaneous dual trigonometric series equations. A closed form solution is obtained by reducing the dual series to singular integral equations of Carleman type. The use of these equations is then illustrated by their application to a crack problem in the theory of elasticity.
