In the present work, the aeroelastic stability analysis for the swept taper wing and external fuel tank combination system in subsonic compressible flow are represented. The wing structure is modeled by using the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. Fuel sloshing is modeled by using an equivalent mechanical mass-spring-damper model. Modal analysis technique is used to drive the structural equations of motion of the system. Aeorodynamic of wing is modeled by using index aerodynamic that has been dived by Marzocca and a slender body aerodynamic theory for the external fuel tank are used. For stability analysis, k-method redrived for a case that structural damping there is. The effects of the external... 

In this thesis, a general survey and reviewis done about the models that go beyond the standard model. Even it contains the great subjects like quantum gravity and alternative Quantum field theories. In addition to them, we concentrate on the supersymmetry that is one of the most important subjects in the beyond the standard model. Recently, the validityof supersymmetry has confronted a lot of controversy. This motivates reconsideration of many supersymmetric models. So we survey the main motivations and problems of the supersymmetry and finally we discuss some possible solutions to the problems  

The current study is dedicated to free vibration and buckling analysis of thick FGM conical shells conveying hot flows with the consideration of initial geometric imperfections. To this end, the higher order governing equations of motion and the corresponding boundary conditions are derived using Hamiltonian formulations. Due to the solution procedure of Frobenius series expansion, the differential form of equations is obtained by applying by part integration to the integral form of equations of motion. Radial and longitudinal temperature distributions are considered while pressure distribution and geometric imperfection variations are found to be in longitudinal direction, only. The final... 

The present study aims at investigating the stability of flexible spinning cylinders conveying flow in an external fluid Medium. Using the linearized Navier-Stokes equations for the flow, a two-dimensional model is developed governing the fluid motion. The resultant force exerted on the flexible cylinder wall due to the fluid interactions is calculated as a function of the lateral acceleration. Applying the Hamilton principle, the governing equations of flexural vibration of the rotary flexible cylinder mounted on simply supported axles are derived. Having the forces due to the conveying fluid calculated and substituting into the governing equations, a coupled field governing equations of...

The purpose of this study is to develop the reduced order nonlinear modeling of single cell closed section thin walled composite beams. In this way, global behavior of one dimensional beam under axial load, bending and torsional moment is produced. This model is based on the classical lamination theory, and the nonlinear model is developedby usingthe von-karman strains. In this process the effects of material anisotropy and axial warping are considered. Numerical results are obtained for thin-walledcomposites box beams, addressing the effects of fiber angle and laminate stacking sequence. The nonlinear model is compared with theoretical results of homogeneous beams and the natural... 

The tumor is a collection of cells (cell mass) caused by the lack or ineffectiveness of cellular proliferation inhibitors. Many types of cancers are associated with the emergence of a tumor, a tissue with specific physiological characteristics. The tumors grow very fast so researchers try to prevent their growth and eventually destroy them. Thermal ablation by MWA(microwave ablation) is a common and minimally-invasive treatment for primary and secondary liver tumors that can not be cured by surgery. During treatment, the tissue is heated by microwaves and at a temperature higher than 50 degree Celsius, destroyed by thermal ablation. In this study, two thermal models have been used to... 

Vibration of flexible slender structures under vortex induced vibrations is one of the important subjects in the different fields of engineering such as overhead electricity transmission cables, columns, tall towers and suspended bridges. During passes of flow around bluff bodies, in the certain range of velocity, the Von Karman vortices sheds unsynchronized from two sides of bluff bodies. When structure frequency closed to the vortex shedding frequency, resonant vibrations happen and one can observe vibrations with limited amplitude. Simulations of these phenomenons are so complicated and time consuming prosess, but there is an engineering method for simulating this phenomenon. The aim of...

The goal of this thesis is to survey natural frequencis of nanostructures such as nanobeams and nanoplates using nonlocal theory of elasticity by finite element method. In nonlocal theory of elasticity,the constitutive relation appears as an integral form so that the stress of a point is a function of the strain of all points in the field such that by getting away from the assumed point, the effect of strains on the stress of that point decreases. In fact, the stress on a point is an average of stress in the field and the effect of stress of other points in determined by a function called the kernel function. In order to achieve natural frequencies and shape modes of a structure, we need to... 

Presence of fluid in closed ends beam can increase beam hardness against pressure and buckling loads. This behavior is due to incompressibility or very low compressibility of fluids. there is a lot of research in the literature focusing on fluid solid interaction in pipe flow, but there is not any reported research studying on fluid filled beam, where fluid doesn’t flow across the beam. In this research hollow beam is modeled with Euler -Bernoulli beam theorem. Potential energy and kinetic energy is derived with considering the incompressibility of fluid. Nonlinear system of equations is derived using Hamilton principle . this system is taken to time domain using Galerkin and assumed mode... 

In this project, the acoustoelastic simulation of baffled cavities using boundary element method is investigated. At first step, the acoustic field for an enclosed rigid cavity with baffle is formulated and then solved by dual reciprocity boundary element method.

In order to study the structure_acoustic interaction, modal reduced order model is used to explain the vibration of structure in combination to acoustic field. The... 

Static and dynamic instability of truncated conical shells made up of functionally graded materials (FGMs) conveying hot fluid is presented in this paper. Temperature-dependent material properties are considered and Material properties of the truncated FGM conical shells are functionally graded in the thickness direction according to a volume fraction power-law distribution. Governing equation of FGM conical shells is written based on First-Order Shear Deformation Theory (FSDT). The treatment is developed within the theory of linear elasticity, when materials are assumed to be isotropic and inhomogeneous through the thickness direction. The two-constituent functionally graded shell consists... 

In the present project an analytical model is proposed for the instability of spinning composite cylindrical shells partially filled with fluid. For this purpose, using the linearized Navier-Stokes equation for the incompressible flow, a 2-D model is developed for fluid motion at each section of the cylinder.
