The stress fields are obtained for a functionally graded strip containing a Volterra screw dislocation. The elastic shear modulus of the medium is considered to vary exponentially. The stress components exhibit Cauchy as well as logarithmic singularities at the dislocation location. The dislocation solution is utilized to formulate integral equations for the strip weakened by multiple smooth cracks under anti-plane deformation. Several examples are solved and stress intensity factors are obtained.
Vibration of plate with air cavity has been one of the interesting research fields by many researchers. This topic has many applications in vehicles, airplanes, aircraft, fuselage panels and buildings. In this study, nonlinear vibroacoustic of circular plate with air cavity under harmonic excitation is investigated. The von Karman theory is used to obtain plate equation and solved together with the air pressure equation. First, the nonlinear equation of the plate is converted to ordinary differential equations by using the Galerkin method. Then the method of multiple scales is employed to solve the corresponding nonlinear equations. Frequency response for primary, subharmonic and superharmonic resonances is studied analytically. Using this method, a parametric study is carried out and the effects of different parameters on the frequency response of the plate are investigated. According to the results, jump phenomena are observed for primary and superharmonic resonance cases. Also, with an increase in damping coefficient, the amplitude of the steady-state response increases in the subharmonic resonance case.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
