A new explicit–implicit time integration technique is proposed here for wave propagation analysis. In the present formulation, the time integrators of the model are selected at the element level, allowing each element to be considered as explicit or implicit. In the implicit elements, controllable algorithm dissipation is provided, enabling an [Formula: see text]-stable formulation. In the explicit elements, null amplitude decay is considered, enabling maximal critical time-step values. The new methodology renders a very simple and effective time-marching algorithm. Here, just displacement–velocity relations are considered, and no computation of accelerations is required. Moreover, explicit/implicit analyses can be carried out just by the tuning of local effective matrices, inputting or not stiffness matrices into their computations. At the end of the paper, numerical results are presented, illustrating the performance and potentialities of the new method.

The original formulation of the quasi-3D sinusoidal shear deformation plate theory (SSDPT) is here extended to the wave propagation analysis of viscoelastic sandwich nanoplates considering surface effects. The sandwich structure contains a single layered graphene sheet as core integrated with zinc oxide layers as sensors and actuators. The single layered graphene sheet and zinc oxide layers are subjected, respectively, to 2D magnetic and 3D electric fields. Structural damping and surface effects are assumed using Kelvin–Voigt and Gurtin–Murdoch theories, respectively. The system is rested on an elastic medium which is simulated with a novel model namely as orthotropic visco-Pasternak foundation. An exact solution is applied in order to obtain the frequency, cut-off and escape frequencies. A displacement and velocity feedback control algorithm is applied for the active control of the frequency through a closed-loop control with bonded distributed zinc oxide sensors and actuators. The detailed parametric study is conducted, focusing on the combined effects of the nonlocal parameter, magnetic field, viscoelastic foundation, surface stress, applied voltage, velocity feedback control gain and structural damping on the wave propagation behavior of nanostructure. Results depict that with increasing the structural damping coefficient, frequency significantly decreases.

A numerical method for calculation of strong radiation for two-dimensional reactive air flow field is developed. The governing equations are taken to be two dimensional, compressible Reynolds-average Navier-Stokes and species transport equations. Also, radiation heat flux in energy equation is evaluated using a model of discrete ordinate method. The model used S4 approximation to reduce the governing system of integro-differential equations to coupled set of partial differential equations. A multiband model is used to construct absorption coefficients. Tangent slab approximation is assumed to determine the characteristic parameters needed in the Discrete Ordinates Method. The turbulent diffusion and heat fluxes are modeled by Baldwin and Lomax method. The flow solution is obtained with a fully implicit time marching method. A thermochemical nonequilibrium formulation appropriate to hypersonic transitional flow of air is presented. The method is compared with existing experimental results and good agreement is observed.
