In this paper, the stability of a conical shell panel in elastic-plastic domain is considered. The shell is made of an isotropic material (316L steel) with linear work hardening behavior. The shell is placed on simply supported end constraints and the acting loads are in the form of longitudinal compressive force and lateral pressure. The incremental Prandtl-Reuss plastic flow theory and von Mises yield criterion are used in the analysis. The problem is formulated based on classical shell theory and nonlinear geometrical strain-displacement relations are assumed. The stability equations are derived using the principle of the stationary potential energy. Using Ritz method the equations are solved and the numerical results obtained for different values of semi vertex and subtended angles. The obtained results show that there is a distinct semi vertex angle in which the shell has the best stability conditions. Also, there will be a limiting condition for the semi vertex angels beyond which the instability will not occur. تفاصيل المقالة

The present work analytically studies the free longitudinal vibration of nanorods in the presence of cracks based on the surface elasticity theory. To this end, governing equations of motion and corresponding boundary conditions are obtained using Hamilton’s principle. Due to considering the surface stress effect, as well as the surface density and the surface Lamé constants, the obtained governing equations of motion become non-homogeneous. The non-homogeneous governing equations are solved using appropriate analytical methods, and the natural frequencies are extracted. To have a comprehensive research, the effects of various parameters such as the length and radius of the nanorod, the crack severity, the crack position, the type of boundary condition, and the values of surface and bulk material properties on axial frequencies of the nanorod are investigated. Since this work considers the effects of all surface energy parameters, it can be claimed that it is a comprehensive study in this regard. تفاصيل المقالة
