A Green's function approach is adopted for analyzing the thermoelastic deformations and stresses of a plate made of functionally graded materials(FGMs). The solution to the 3-dimensional unsteady temperature is obtained by using the laminate theory. The fundamental equations for thermoelastic problems are derived in terms of out-plane deformation and in-plane force, separately. The thermoelastic deformation and the stress distributions due to the bending and in-plane forces are analyzed by using a Green's function based on the Galerkin method. The eigenfunctions of the Galerkin Green's function for the thermoelastic deformation and the stress distributions are approximated in terms of a series of admissible functions that satisfy the homogeneous boundary conditions of the rectangular plate. Numerical analysis for a simply supported plate is carried out and effects of material properties on unsteady thermoclastic behaviors are discussed.

This study examined the structural stability of nonlocal magneto-electro-elastic nano plates on elastic foundations using first-order shear deformation theory. Navier's method has been used to solve the buckling loads for all edges simply supported boundary conditions. On the other hand, biaxial buckling analysis of nano-plates has beenrarely studied. According to the Maxwell equation and the magneto-electro boundary condition, the change inthe magnetic and electric potential along the thickness direction of the magneto-electro-elastic nano plate wasdetermined. To reformulate the elasticity theory of the magneto- electro-elastic nano plate, the differential constitutive equation of Eringen was used and the governing equation of the nonlocal elasticity theory was studied using variational theory. The effects of the elastic foundation arebased on Pasternak's assumption. The relationship between nonlocal theory and local theory was analyzed through calculation results. In addition, structural stability problems were investigated according to the electric and magnetic potentials, nonlocal parameters, elastic foundation parameters, and side-to-thickness ratio. The results of the analysis revealedthe effects of the magnetic and electric potential. These calculations can be used to compare future research on new material structures made of magneto-electro-elastic materials.

AVO analysis was conducted on hydrocarbon-bearing structures by applying the crossplot and offset-coordinate amplitude polynomial techniques. To evaluate the applicability of the AVO analysis, it was conducted on synthetic data that were generated with an anticline model, and field data from the hydrocarbon-bearing Colony Sand bed in Canada. Analysis of synthetic data from the anticline model demonstrates that the crossplot method yields zero-offset reflection amplitude and amplitude variation with negative values for the upper interface of the hydrocarbon-bearing layer. The crossplot values are clustered in the third quadrant. The results of AVO analysis based on the coefficients of the amplitude polynomial are similar to those from the crossplots. These well correlated results of AVO analysis on field and synthetic data suggest that both methods successfully investigate the characteristics of the reflections from the upper interface of a hydrocarbon-bearing layer. Analysis based on the incident-angle equation facilitates the application of various interpretation methods. However, it requires the conversion of seismic data to an incident angle gather. By contrast, analysis using coefficients of the amplitude polynomial is cost-effective because it allows examining amplitude variation with offset without involving the conversion process. However, it warrants further investigation into versatile application. The two different techniques can be complement each other effectively as AVO-analysis tools for the detection of hydrocarbon reservoirs.

In this study, the governing equations of motion for multi-cracked nonuniform nanobeam based on nonlocal elasticity theory and embedded in an elastic medium were derived. DTM(differential transformation method) was applied to vibration analysis of multi-cracked nonuniform nanobeam based on nonlocal elasticity theory and embedded in an elastic medium. The non-dimensional natural frequencies of this nanobeam were obtained for eoe, crack stiffness and elastic medium stiffness with various boundary conditions. The results obtained by this method was compared with previous works and showed the close agreement between two methods. The important conclusions obtained by this study are as follows : 1. As the length of nanobeam is shorter, the effect of scale coefficient is greater. 2. The locations of crack change non-dimensional natural frequency, In the case of fixed-fixed ends, the non-dimensional natural frequency is the biggest in the first crack location of 0.6L of nanobeam length, and the smallest in both ends. In the case of fixed-free ends, the closer the location of first crack go tho the free end, the bigger the non-dimensional natural frequency. 3. As the stiffness of crack is greater, the non-dimensional natural frequency is smaller, And the effect of crack stiffness is similar on both fixed-free ends and fixed-fixed ends. 4. The bigger the stiffness of elastic medium, the greater the non - dimensional natural frequency.

In this paper, we study the biaxial buckling analysis of nonlocal MEE(magneto-electro-elastic) nano plates based on the first-order shear deformation theory. The in-plane electric and magnetic fields can be ignored for MEE(magneto-electro-elastic) nano plates. According to magneto-electric boundary condition and Maxwell equation, the variation of magnetic and electric potentials along the thickness direction of the MME plate is determined. In order to reformulate the elastic theory of MEE(magneto-electro-elastic) nano-plate, the nonlocal differential constitutive relations of Eringen is used. Using the variational principle, the governing equations of the nonlocal theory are discussed. The relations between nonlocal and local theories are investigated by computational results. Also, the effects of nonlocal parameters, in-plane load directions, and aspect ratio on structural responses are studied. Computational results show the effects of the electric and magnetic potentials. These computational results can be useful in the design and analysis of advanced structures constructed from MEE(magneto-electro-elastic) materials and may be the benchmark test for the future study.

선형탄성이론을 기초로 한 구조해석의 경우 사용하중상태에서의 변형과 응력은 만족할 만한 결과를 나타내지만, 항복후의 처짐과 파괴시의 극한하중 산정의 정확한 해석이 불가능하다. 평판의 극한해석시, 상한계 이론을 바탕으로 한 항복선 이론이 널리 사용되고 있으나 이론적으로 평판의 강도를 과대평가하게 된다. 그러므로, 임의의 하중조건과 경계조건에 대한 비선형 거동과 극한내하력을 산정할 수 있는 해석기법이 필요하다. 평판의 정확한 극한하중을 위해 p-Version 유한요소법을 제안하며, p-Version의 해석치를 범용 구조해석 프로그램인 ADINA의 결과와 문헌의 이론치와 비교하였다.

The finite element and boundary element methods of underground analysis are both well established numerical techniques for determination of stress and displacement distributions at underground excavation. The finite element method presents antithetical advantages and limitations. Complex constitutive behaviour may be modelled, at the expense of numerical efficiency and, for infinite domain, inadequate representation of remote bounadry conditions. The inherent advantages of the boundary element method are the ease with which infinite domain problems may be analysed, and the efficiency of analysis typically associated with a boundary value solution procedure. Application of the method is limited by the requirements linear constitutive behaviour for the medium. A combined of the finite element and boundary element methods of underground analysis is shown to preserve the advantages of each procedure, and, eliminates their individual disadvantages. Procedures employed in this papers described combined FEBEM algorithm. Solutions of underground excavation verifying the performance of combined FEBEM code are compared with theoretical solution, boundary element solution and finite element solution.

Turbulent boundary layer over an underwater vehicle is formed when it moves underwater and wall pressure fluctuation within the turbulent boundary layer generates flow-induced noise by exciting the elastic hull of the underwater vehicle. One of the methods to reduce this flow noise is to attach a compliant layer on the surface of the vehicle. In order to observe the possibility of noise reduction in the water when the compliant layer treatments are applied on the surface, three types of specimens those are a bare steel plate, a steel plate coated with neoprene and a steel plate with polyurethane coating material are tested at various flow speeds in a low noise cavitation tunnel. This paper presents the results of measurements and analysis of wall pressure fluctuations which is a main source of flow noise, within the turbulent boundary layer on three specimens. Its results could be shown that about 10dB reduction of wall fluctuation pressure at high frequencies was achieved due to the dissipation of turbulent energy by the compliant coating while it makes the turbulent boundary layer thicker and changes the behavior of turbulent flow in the layer.

In this research mass of a plane strain two dimensional elastic concrete dam under gravitational and hydrostatic loads is minimized, through shape optimization of the dam cross section. Cross sectional area of the dam is taken as cost function of the optimization problem while constraints on the principal stress distribution and dam thickness are imposed. Shape of the boundary of the model is chosen as design variable. Variational formulation of the optimization problem, the material derivative idea of continuum mechanics, and an adjoint variable method are employed for the shape design sensitivity calculation. Then the gradient projection algorithm is utilized to obtain an optimum design iteratively. Research results fully demonstrate that the theory and procedure adopted are quite efficient and can be applicable to a wide class of practical elastic structural design problems.
