This paper presents the application of the method of generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) for the analysis of hydrodynamic thrust bearings. GDQ is a simple, efficient, high-order numerical technique and it uses the ...

CNG vessels are used in many vehicles.  Mass production of CNG pressure vessels requires exact understanding of process effective parameters.  In this paper, the numerical analysis has been used to study the manufacturing ...

In this paper the buckling coefficient of FGM rectangular plates calculated by the new version of differential quadrature method (DQM). At the first the governing differential equation for plate has been calculated and ...

In the present paper, nonlinear radial and hoop thermoelastic stresses analysis of a disk made of FGMs material is investigated. According to this purpose, finite element method is used. In the present method, second-order ...

This paper investigates symmetrical buckling of orthotropic circular and annular plates of continuous variable thickness. Uniform compression loading is applied at the plate outer boundary. Thickness varies linearly along ...

In this paper the process of laser forming has been investigated using an analytical and an experimental method for three levels scans velocity. A coupled analysis has been performed in ANSYS®. Also in order to prove the ...

In the present work, FGM shells integrated with magnetostrictive layers acting as distributed sensors and actuators are modeled to control vibration attenuation of FGM shells with simply supported boundaryconditions. To ...
