In the current paper, a new first-order Timoshenko's theory (N-FSDBT) based on the
indefinite integral is proposed to examine the vibrational behavior of power-law (P-FG) …

In this study, the shear behavior of the concrete-soft rock interface was simulated using
PFC3D software and the results were compared with physical tests. While the interface …

Contact problems involving deformable bodies are widespread in both industrial and
everyday situations. They have a crucial impact on structural and mechanical systems …

Contact phenomenon widely exists in engineering, which is a high nonlinearity problem.
However, the majority of open source contact finite element codes are written in C++, which …

Usually, the shear deformation theory of displacements need not be considered in the thin
shell analyses, and it is usually considered for the thick shell analyses. To include the varied …

Although various two-dimensional (2D) theories have been developed for analysis of
laminated shell structures in the last two decades, most of these models are not efficient …

The aim of the present study is to develop an efficient and accurate analytical model for the
lateral torsional buckling (LTB) prediction of RHS beams. To this end, a coherent nonlinear …

The aim of the present investigation is focused on the nonlinear forced vibration analysis of
porous FGM sandwich beam with a viscoelastic core resting on nonlinear elastic foundation …

This paper investigates the influence of indenter shape and rock texture on the crack growth
properties and rock hardness. For this purpose, two different rock specimens such as basalt …

Experimental and discrete element methods were used to investigate the effects of joint
number and joint angle on the failure behavior of rock pillars under the uniaxial compressive …
