    Abstract
    In this paper, the in-plane free vibration analysis of the functionally graded rotating disks with variable thickness is presented utilizing DQM. It is assumed that the rotational velocity of the disk is constant and the thickness and material properties including modulus of elasticity and density vary along the radial coordinate. The distribution of the forward and backward traveling waves versus the angular velocity is demonstrated for several modal circles and nodal diameters with respect to the fixed and rotating coordinate systems. After presenting the accuracy and convergence of the numerical method, the derived formulation and the solution method are validated by comparing the results... 

    Numerical investigation of the forward and backward travelling waves through an undulating propulsor: performance and wake pattern

    Abstract
    Recently, the mechanisms of natural undulatory locomotion of aquatic animal swimming have become one of the most significant issues for the researchers, swimmers and engineers. This study aims to elucidate and compare the propulsive vortical signature and performance of backward (negative undulation) and forward (positive undulation) travelling waves through a typical fishlike propulsor by a systematic numerical study. The numerical approach uses a pressure-based finite volume method solver to solve Navier–Stokes equations in an arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian framework domain containing a two-dimensional NACA 0012 foil moving with prescribed kinematics. Some of the important findings are: (1)...
