Power Flow in a Plate with an Attached Point Damper

The Effects of the Moving Load and the Attached Mass-Spring-Damper System Interactions on the Dynamic Responses of the Composite Plates: An Analytical Approach

In the current study, the effects of interactions of the moving loads and the attached mass-spring-damper systems of the composite plates on the resulting dynamic responses are investigated comprehensively, for the first time, using the classical plate theory. The solution of the coupled governing system of equations is accomplished through tracing the spatial variations using a Navier-type sol...

Dynamic Stability of Laminated Composite Plates with an External Smart Damper

The dynamic stability of a composite plate with external electrorheological (ER) damper subjected to an axial periodic load is investigated. Electrorheological fluids are a class of smart materials, which exhibit reversible changes in mechanical properties when subjected to an electric field. As a result, the dynamic behavior of the structure is changed. The ER damper is used for suppressing th...

کنترل فعال ارتعاشات موضعی یک ورق مستطیلی با وصله­های پیزوالکتریک

 Active control vibrations of an arbitrary point of a simply supported rectangular plate is presented in this paper. The governing differential equation of plate with attached piezoelectric sensor/actuator patches, whose effects of mass and stiffness are included by the local functions, is solved at first. The response of the plate is computed using the first nine natural modes. Then, piezoelec...

Effect of Volumetric Heat Generation/ Absorbtion on Mixed Convection Stagnation Point Flow on an Iso-thermal Vertical Plate in Porous Media

Local Heat Transfer Coefficients in a Rectangular Duct with Plate Blockages of Variable Stream Wise Spacing

An experimental investigation is conducted to determine the effect of repeated-plate blockages of variable streamwise spacing on heat transfer characteristics of turbulent flow in rectangular ducts. The plates are attached to the upper and lower walls in a staggered arrangement. The experiments are carried out by mass transfer and the analogy between heat and mass transfer provides the necessar...
