Abstract:

In this paper, optimization of the sound transmission loss of finite rectangular anisotropic laminated composite plate with simply supported boundary conditions has been developed to maximize transmission loss. Appropriate constraints were imposed to prevent the occurrence of softening effect due to optimization. For this purpose, optimization process was incorporated into comprehensive finite element software. The transmission loss (TL) obtained from the numerical solution was compared with those of other authors indicated good agreement. The discrete frequencies have been chosen based upon the sound transmission class with A-weighting constant. Several traditional composite materials have been studied and the results have shown that in the mass control region, the optimization of stacking sequence and optimal thickness has not been an effective contribution to improve the transmission loss. The results also show that, the lamina thickness optimization has an important effect on improving the transmission loss, but the advantage of low weight composite material is compromised by optimization.

an infinite planar array of rectangular microstrip patch antenna analysis

the methods which are used to analyze microstrip antennas, are divited into three categories: empirical methods, semi-empirical methods and full-wave analysis. empirical and semi-empirical methods are generally based on some fundamental simplifying assumptions about quality of surface current distribution and substrate thickness. thses simplificatioms cause low accuracy in field evaluation. ful...

Vibration analysis of a rectangular composite plate in contact with fluid

In this paper, modal analysis of the fluid-structure interaction has been investigated. Using classical laminated plate theory, a closed form solution for natural frequencies of FSI is extracted. For fluid, homogenous, inviscid and irrotational fluid flow is assumed. Then, a combined governing equation for the plate-fluid system is derived. In order to validate the equations and results, they a...

Abstract—In this paper, the specific sound Transmission Loss (TL) of the Laminated Composite Plate (LCP) with different material properties in each layer is investigated. The numerical method to obtain the TL of the LCP is proposed by using elastic plate theory. The transfer matrix approach is novelty presented for computational efficiency in solving the numerous layers of dynamic stiffness mat...

Composite semi - infinite optimization

Abstract: We consider a semi-infinite optimization problem in Banach spaces, where both the objective functional and the constraint operator are compositions of convex nonsmooth mappings and differentiable mappings. We derive necessary optimality conditions for these problems. Finally, we apply these results to nonconvex stochastic optimization problems with stochastic dominance constraints, ge...

Crack Problems for a Rectangular Plate and an Infinite Strip

In this paper, the general plane problem for an infinite strip containing multiple cracks perpendicular to its boundaries is considered. The problem is reduced to a system of singular integral equations. Two specific problems of practical interest are then studied in detail. The first is the investigation of the interaction effect of multiple edge cracks in a plate or beam under tension or bend...
