In this paper, an iterative procedure based on the extended Kantorovich method (EKM) is presented to gain highly accurate solution for bending of moderately thick functionally graded (FG) fully clamped sector plates. Effective mechanical properties of the sector plates assumed to be defined by a...

Minimum entropy generation (MEG) temperature profiles are derived for steady conduction in a plane wall, a hollow cylinder and a hollow sphere and compared with the classical results. Cases of constant thermal conductivity, temperature dependent and location dependent thermal conductivities for...
