This paper presents an analytical approach to investigate the nonlinear buckling and post-buckling of thin annular spherical shells made of functionally graded materials (FGM) and subjected to mechanical load and resting on Winkler-Pasternak type elastic foundations. Material properties are graded in the thickness direction according to a simple power law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of constituents. Equilibrium and compatibility equations for annular spherical shells are derived by using the classical thin shell theory in terms of the shell deflection and the stress function. Approximate analytical solutions are assumed to satisfy simply supported boundary conditions and Galerkin method is applied to obtain closed-form of load-deflection paths. An analysis is carried out to show the effects of material and geometrical properties and combination of loads on the stability of the annular spherical shells.


In this paper the influence of geometry on the stability of a functionally graded material rotating beam is reported. The equation of motion is formulated using Hamilton’s principle in association with finite element analyses. Floquet’s theory was used for establishing the stability boundaries. The properties of functionally graded ordinary (FGO) and functionally graded sandwich (FGSW) beams under consideration are assumed to be graded following either power law or exponential law across the thickness of the beam. The effect of geometry in terms of slenderness parameter on the dynamic stability of both FGO & FGSW beams have been investigated. The increase in slenderness parameter enhances the stability of both the FGO and FGSW beams. Further it has been observed that exponential distribution of properties ensures better stability compared to power law distribution of properties.

AbstractA review of the stability theory of symmetrizable time-dependent difference schemes is represented. The notion of the operator-difference scheme is introduced and general ideas about stability in the sense of the initial data and in the sense of the right hand side are formulated. Further, the so-called symmetrizable difference schemes are considered in detail for which we manage to formulate the unimprovable necessary and su±cient conditions of stability in the sense of the initial data. The schemes with variable weight multipliers are a typical representative of symmetrizable difference schemes. For such schemes a numerical algorithm is proposed and realized for constructing stability boundaries.

We study the stability characteristics of zero-velocity gap solitons in dual-core Bragg gratings with cubic-quintic nonlinearity and dispersive reflectivity. The model supports two disjointed families of gap solitons (Type 1 and Type 2). Additionally, asymmetric and symmetric solitons exist in both Type 1 and Type 2 families. A comprehensive numerical stability analysis is performed to analyze the stability of solitons. It is found that dispersive reflectivity improves the stability of both types of solitons. Nontrivial stability boundaries have been identified within the bandgap for each family of solitons. The effects and interplay of dispersive reflectivity and the coupling coefficient on the stability regions are also analyzed.

The post-buckling of the functionally graded composite plate under thermal environment with aerodynamic loading is studied. The structural model has three layers with ceramic, FGM and metal, respectively. The outer layers of the sandwich plate are different homogeneous and isotropic material properties for ceramic and metal. Whereas the core is FGM layer, material properties vary continuously from one interface to the other in the thickness direction according to a simple power law distribution in terms of the volume fractions. Governing equations are derived by using the principle of virtual work and numerical solutions are solved through a finite element method. The first-order shear deformation theory and von-Karman strain-displacement relations are based to derive governing equations of the plate. Aerodynamic effects are dealt by adopting nonlinear third-order piston theory for structural and aerodynamic nonlinearity. The Newton-Raphson iterative method applied for solving the nonlinear equations of the thermal post-buckling analysis

In this paper, we consider an infinite-dimensional extension of Chua's circuit (Fig. 1) obtained by replacing the left portion of the circuit composed of the capacitance C2 and the inductance L by a lossless transmission line as shown in Fig. 2. As we shall see, if the remaining capacitance C1 is equal to zero, the dynamics of this so-called time-delayed Chua's circuit can be reduced to that of a scalar nonlinear difference equation. After deriving the corresponding 1-D map, it will be possible to determine without any approximation the analytical equation of the stability boundaries of cycles of every period n. Since the stability region is nonempty for each n, this proves rigorously that the time-delayed Chua's circuit exhibits the "period-adding" phenomenon where every two consecutive cycles are separated by a chaotic region.


The analysis of part I is extended to deal with the case of free-edged rectangular plates having an initial curvature about an axis parallel to one pair of opposite edges and loaded by distributed bending moments applied to the straight edges and compressive forces applied to the curved edges. In particular, the stability and post-buckling behaviour of such plates subjected to the compressive forces alone is studied. The axially symmetrical buckling of thin-walled circular tubes in axial compression is also considered. Experimental plates are found to buckle at loads rather lower than those predicted.
