This paper presents a static analysis of functionally graded plates (FGPs) by using a new first shear deformation theory (FSDT). This theory contains only four unknowns, with is even less than the classical FSDT. In this ...

The use of team for teaching programming can be effective in the classroom because it helps students to generate and acquire new knowledge in less time, but these groups to be formed without taking into account some respects, ...

In this paper two-dimensional systems with static bifurcations are considered. An analysis of the bifurcation behavior is proposed using a frequency domain approach. The analyzed bifurcations are known as elementary since ...

This article presents the formulation of an enriched macro finite element based on the trigonometric shear deformation theory for the static analysis of symmetrically laminated composite plates. Shear correction factor is ...

Crossed spherical gearing is used in the joints of robotic arm prostheses and allows mobility in 3 degrees of freedom. This paper aims to evaluate the design of a cross-spherical gear with three different materials, PEEK, ...

In this investigation, the elasto-plastic behavior and the seismic performance of concrete reinforced frame structures reinforced are evaluated by applying the Pushover method. This evaluation is done on several cases: ...

This paper focuses on the distributed static estimation problem and a Belief Propagation (BP) based estimation algorithm is proposed. We provide a complete analysis for convergence and accuracy of it. More precisely, we ...
