This paper deals with the blow-up phenomena for a system of parabolic equations with nonlinear boundary conditions. We show that under some conditions on the nonlinearities, blow-up occurs at some finite time. We also obtain upper and lower bounds for the blow-up time when blow-up occurs. Copyright  

An exact solution is presented for the nonlinear cylindrical bending and postbuckling of shear deformable functionally graded plates in this paper. A simple power law function and the Mori-Tanaka scheme are used to model the through-the-thickness continuous gradual variation of the material properties. The von Karman nonlinear strains are used and then the nonlinear equilibrium equations and the relevant boundary conditions are obtained using Hamilton's principle. The Navier equations are reduced to a linear ordinary differential equation for transverse deflection with nonlinear boundary conditions, which can be solved by exact methods. Finally, by solving some numeral examples for simply...
