Although many riveted bridge structures made of old structural steel from the 19th and early 20th centuries are still in use today, there is usually no need to replace them. When assessing these with regard necessary refurbishment or strengthening measures, engineers information about remaining fatigue lifetime particular. Often sufficient life can be determined based on normative S-N-curve ass...

this study investigates natural frequency analysis of an fg composite rectangular plate partially contacting with a bounded fluid. the material properties are assumed to be varying continuously through the thickness direction according to a simple power law distribution in terms of volume fraction of material constituents. wet dynamic transverse displacements of the plate are approximated by a ...
