this study presents exact bending solution of fully clamped orthotropic rectangular plates subjected to arbitrary loads resting on elastic foundations, based on the finite integral transform method. in this method, it is not necessary to determine the deformation function because the basic governing equations of the classical plate theory for orthotropic plates have been used. a detailed parame...

this paper presents the bending analysis of annular plates by the indirect trefftz boundary approach. the formulation for thin and thick plates is based on the kirchhoff plate theory and the reissner plate theory. the governing equations are therefore a fourth-order boundary value problem and a sixth-order boundary value problem, respectively. the trefftz method employs the complete set of solu...

Acute hematogenous osteomyelitis (AHO) is primarily a disease of young children, presumably because of the rich vascular supply of their rapidly growing bones. Infecting organisms enter the bone through the nutrient artery and then travel to the metaphyseal capillary loops, where they are deposited, replicate, and initiate an inflammatory response (Figure 78-1). Metaphyseal localization results...

Abstract This paper summarizes the experimental campaign carried out for development of a new steel energy dissipative devices named Slit Dampers (SDs) designed earthquake protection structures. SDs consist in shear plates with appropriately shaped cut‐out portions material allowing maximum spread plastic deformation along device and then maximizing hysteretic behavior. A total eighty‐two diffe...

A new method of quantifying Candida spp. and Torulopsis glabrata suspensions, the spiral inoculation system, was studied to compare its accuracy, efficiency, and cost with the standard pour plating and spread plating methods. Concentrations of yeast suspensions ranging from 10(2) to 10(5) CFU were quantified simultaneously by the three methods. Linear regression analysis was used to determine t...

In this study, the wetting behavior of microstructured polyethylene terephthalate (PET) foils for polar and nonpolar liquids produced by plate-to-plate hot embossing is investigated. For step, stainless steel plates are used as stamps, which with single-scaled hierarchical textures using direct laser writing two-beam interference patterning. The imprinted microstructures, containing pillar- lin...

The islands of Sumatra and Sinabung are located southwest the Sundaland Continent which is a convergence route between Indian-Australian Plate that infiltrates to west Eurasian/Sundaland Plate. increase in activity Mount was preceded by large earthquakes south while eruption produced pyroclastics. purpose this study find out analysis coulomb stress from Island earthquake pyroclastic flow as dat...

in this paper, a nonlinear free vibration analysis of thin annular functionally graded (fg) plate integrated with two uniformly distributed actuator layers made of piezoelectric (pzt4) material on the top and bottom surfaces of the annular fg plate is presented based on kirchhoff plate theory. the material properties of the fgm core plate are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction acco...

404 CLINICAL CHEMISTRY, Vol. 29, No. 2, 1983 the particular advantages that “dirty” extracts may be easily processed by repeated “washing” and that the stationary phase is disposable. In our experience, however, the main drawback to the technique has been the difficulty of transferring an appreciable proportion of drug in a dried extract to the chromatographic plate. It is not easy to dissolve ...
