Descripción

Higher-Order Theories of Functionally Graded Circular Cylindrical Beams and Columns provides a detailed exploration of the mechanical behaviors of functionally graded circular cylindrical beams and columns, including bending, vibration, and stability, and considering factors such as shear deformation, cross-section warping, elastic foundation interaction, non-local effects in nanoscale and piezoelectric and flexoelectric, and more. With a focus on higher-order theories and advanced analytical methods, the book enables researchers to gain a deeper understanding of the fundamental principles governing the behavior of circular cylindrical structures. The detailed derivations and explanations of complex equations and concepts assist in the development of new research.

The book helps engineers identify and address potential issues in the design and analysis of circular cylindrical structures. Detailed discussions on factors affecting mechanical performance, such as material selection, geometric parameters, and loading conditions enable engineers to make informed decisions and optimize their designs for improved performance and safety.
