This study presents a novel application of mesh-free method using the smoothed-radial basis functions for the computational homogenization analysis of materials. The displacement field corresponding to the scattered nodes within the representative volume element (RVE) is split into two parts including mean term and fluctuation term, and then the fluctuation one is approximated using the integrated radial basis function (iRBF) method.

This paper is an extension of our recent work that presents a two-scale design method of porosity-like materials using adaptive geometric components. The adaptive geometric components consist of two classes of geometric components: one describes the overall structure at the macrostructure and the other describes the structure of the material at the microstructures.

Lightweight structures with soft inclusion material, such as hollow core slabs, foam sandwich wall, pervious pavement are widely used in construction engineering for sustainable goals. Voids and soft inclusion can be modeled as a very soft material, while the main material is modeled with its original rigidity, which is so much higher than inclusion’s one.

In this paper, free vibration of bidirectional functionally graded sandwich (BFGSW) beams is studied by using a finite element formulation. The beams made from three distinct materials are composed of three layers, a homogeneous core and two bidirectional FGM face layers with material properties varying in both the thickness and longitudinal directions by power gradation laws.

The paper aims at introducing an analysis of thin-walled functionally graded sandwich beams for general nonuniform quadrilateral cross-sections. Generally, the materials are assumed to be graded through the thickness following a predefined shape while Poisson’s ratio kept as a constant due to its less domination. The crosssection linearly varies from one end to another end of the beam.

The problem of Rayleigh waves in compressible orthotropic elastic half-space overlaid by a thin elastic layer of which principal material axes are coincident have been researched by many scientists. This paper presents a traditional approach to obtain an approximate secular equation by approximately replacing the thin layer by effective boundary conditions of third-order.
