In this paper, frictionless contact problem for a functionally graded (FG) layer is considered.
The FG layer is subjected to load with a rigid punch and the FG layer is bonded on a rigid …

As an emerging discrete structural model, the Hencky bar-chain/net model (HBM) has
shown its advantages over other numerical methods in some problems. Owing to the …

Comprising rigid bars and spring systems at the joints and in the cells, the Hencky bar-net
model (HBM) has been shown to be a physical structural representation of the finite …

In this paper a boundary element method is developed for the elastic flexural buckling
analysis of composite Euler–Bernoulli beams of arbitrary variable cross-section. The …

There are many studies on vibrations of moving belts originated from automotive belt drives.
These studies, however, mainly consider the nonlinear effect of the transversal vibration of …

This paper is concerned with the shape optimization problem of columns for a given volume
and length against buckling by using the discrete link-spring model or the so-called Hencky …

This paper is concerned with the formulation of the Hencky bar-chain model (HBM) for
shape optimization of pinned-pinned circular arches under uniform radial pressure for …

In this paper the non-linear dynamic stability of Beck's column with variable mass and
stiffness properties in the presence of damping (both internal and external) is investigated …

In this paper, shape optimization is used to optimize the critical load of an Euler–Bernoulli
cantilever beam with constant volume subjected to a tangential compressive tip load and/or …

A general analytic approach is proposed for nonlinear eigenvalue problems governed by
nonlinear differential equations with variable coefficients. This approach is based on the …
