The Heat Conduction in Nanosized Structures
Thermal transport cannot be well described by classical Fourier’s law in nanosized structures. A novel gradient theory is developed in such structures adopting the size effect of heat conduction. Thi...

The MLPG applied to porous materials with variable stiffness and permeability
Two-dimensional (2-d) and axisymmetric consolidation problems are treated with a meshless local Petrov–Galerkin approach. The porous continuum is modeled with Biot’s theory, where the solid displacements and t...

Crack analysis in decagonal quasicrystals by the MLPG
A meshless method based on the local Petrov-Galerkin approach is proposed to solve initial-boundary-value crack problems in decagonal quasicrystals. These quasicrystals belong to the class of two-dimensional (...

Method of Boundary Integral Equations for Analysis of Three Dimensional Crack Problems
The solution of spatial problems for finite region with cracks often encounters difficulties which results in the fact that there is a incomparably smaller number of solved spatial problems for crack than that...
