a transversely isotropic half-space with axis of material symmetry perpendicular to the free surface supports a flexible circular plate. the contact area of the plate and the half-space is considered to be both frictionless and unbonded (tensionless). the foundation is affected by a vertical static axisymmetric load. detailed analysis of the interaction of these two systems is the target of thi...

In this study, the finite element analysis of sigmoid functionally graded material (S-FGM) plates resting on orthotropic Pasternak elastic foundations with different angles is presented. For modelling, SAP2000 software package used in which required adjustments are made to obtain expected behaviour plate-foundation system. The plate modelled both using solid elements and layered shell by defini...

Rectangular plate is one typical structure with wild application in engineering, and the force vibration basis for analysis of sound radiation plate. In this work, numerical simulation conducted rectangular plate, influence external load also studied. Numerical results show that, will resonate under at certain driven frequency, it’s strictly related to structural modal frequencies. Structural r...
