On the basis of finite element analysis, an eigenvalue problem is performed to examine the
vibrational characteristics of a hetero-nanotube made of carbon (C) and boron nitride (BN) …

An efficient reliability-based design optimization method for the support structures of
monopile offshore wind turbines is proposed herein. First, parametric finite element analysis …

Robust design optimization (RDO) of an existing underground reinforced concrete pipe
subjected to seismic load is presented. The pipe considered is from a straight section of a …

There are many certain and uncertain design factors which have unrevealed rational effects
on the generation of tensile damage and the stability of the circular tunnels during seismic …

Considering the effect of surrounding rock on lining in the design of tunnel lining within
fractured rock masses is challenging, particularly in accurately predicting the reserved …

In this study, for the first time, we investigate the nonlocality superimposed to the size effects
on the nonlinear dynamics of an electrically actuated single-walled carbon-nanotube-based …

To explore the mechanical properties of cracked lining subjected to seismic loads based on
wave theory and the extended finite element method, the dynamic viscoelastic boundary of a …
