A New Numerical Method for the Analysis of Stress Concentration in Tension Specimen
Abstract: Analyzing the stress concentration in the critical region of a mixed boundary value elastic problem has always been an important area of interest in applied mechanics. In most of the cases, the problems were circumvented using a numerical solution. A numerical approach has been used to solve elastic problems of arbitrary shaped bodies subjected to mixed boundary conditions. The formulation of displacement potential function is used in finite difference method …

Flexure of Thick Cantilever Beams using Trigonometric Shear Deformation Theory
Abstract: A trigonometric shear deformation theory for flexural analysis of thick beams, taking into account transverse shear deformation effects, is developed. The number of variables in the present theory is same as that in the first order shear deformation theory. The sinusoidal function is used in displacement field in terms of thickness coordinate to represent the shear deformation effects. The noteworthy feature of this theory is that the transverse shear stresses …

Thermosolutal Instability of Partially Ionized Plasma in Porous Medium in Presence of Finite Larmor Radius and Hall Currents Effect
Abstract: The effects of finite Larmor radius (FLR), collisions, and Hall currents are investigated on thermosolutal instability of a partially ionized plasma in porous medium in the presence of a uniform vertical magnetic field. In the case of stationary convection, finite Larmor radius, Hall currents, medium permeability and magnetic field may have stabilizing or destabilizing effects but for a certain wave number range, FLR, magnetic field and Hall currents have stabilizing …
