Abstract
The present paper is focused on analyzing the delamination of inhomogeneous multilayered rods of circular cross-section loaded in torsion. The rods are made of concentric longitudinal layers of individual thickness and material properties. A delamination crack is located arbitrary between layers. Thus, the internal and external crack arms have circular and ring-shaped cross-sections, respectively. The layers exhibit continuous material inhomogeneity in radial direction. Besides, the material has non-linear elastic behavior. The delamination is analyzed in terms of the strain energy release rate. General solution to the strain energy release rate is derived by considering the energy balance. The solution is applied to analyze the delamination of cantilever rod. For verification, the strain energy release rate is derived also by considering the complementary strain energy.

Key Words

Abstract
This paper presents seismic analysis of concrete gravity dams considering soil-structure-fluid interaction. Displacement based plane strain finite element formulation is considered for the dam and foundation domain whereas pressure based finite element formulation is considered for the reservoir domain. A direct coupling method has been adopted to obtain the interaction effects among the dam, foundation and reservoir domain to obtain the dynamic responses of the dam. An efficient absorbing boundary condition has been implemented at the truncation surfaces of the foundation and reservoir domains. A parametric study has been carried out considering each domain separately and collectively based on natural frequencies, crest displacement and stress at the neck level of the dam body. The combined frequency of the entire coupled system is very less than that of the each individual sub-system. The crest displacement and neck level stresses of the dam shows prominent enhancement when coupling effect is taken into consideration. These outcomes suggest that a complete coupled analysis is necessary to obtain the actual responses of the concrete gravity dam. The developed methodology can easily be implemented in finite element code for analyzing the coupled problem to obtain the desired responses of the individual sub-domains.

Abstract
The present research deals with two-dimensional axisymmetric deformation in transversely isotropic magneto thermoelastic solid with and without energy dissipation, with two temperature and time-harmonic source. The proposed model is helpful for finding the type of relations between mechanical and thermal fields as most of the structural elements of heavy industries are frequently related to mechanical and thermal stresses at a higher temperature. The Hankel transform has been used to find a solution to the problem. The displacement components, stress components, and temperature distribution with the horizontal distance in the physical domain are calculated numerically. The effect of time-harmonic source and two temperature is depicted graphically on the resulting quantities.

Abstract
In this paper, a new application of a four variable refined plate theory to analyze the nonlinear bending of functionally graded plates exposed to thermo-mechanical loadings, is presented. This recent theory is based on the assumption that the transverse displacements consist of bending and shear components in which the bending components do not contribute toward shear forces, and similarly, the shear components do not contribute toward bending moments. The derived transverse shear strains has a quadratic variation across the thickness that satisfies the zero traction boundary conditions on the top and bottom surfaces of the plate without using shear correction factors. The material properties are assumed to vary continuously through the thickness of the plate according to a power-law distribution of the volume fraction of the constituents. The solutions are achieved by minimizing the total potential energy. The non-linear strain–displacement relations in the von Karman sense are used to derive the effect of geometric non-linearity. It is concluded that the proposed theory is accurate and simple in solving the nonlinear bending behavior of functionally graded plates.

Abstract
This paper presents post-buckling analysis of a functionally graded beam under hygro-thermal effect. The material properties of the beam change though height axis with a power-law function. In the nonlinear kinematics of the post-buckling problem, the total Lagrangian approach is used. In the solution of the problem, the finite element method is used within plane solid continua. In the nonlinear solution, the Newton-Raphson method is used with incremental displacements. Comparison studies are performed. In the numerical results, the effects of the material distribution, the geometry parameters, the temperature and the moisture changes on the post-buckling responses of the functionally graded beam are presented and discussed.

Key Words
functionally graded beam; hygro-thermal effect; post-buckling analysis; total Lagrangian; finite element method
