In this paper a general analytical solution is obtained to find stress distribution in a finite elastic plate with a circular or square hole subjected to arbitrary biaxial partial loading using modified boundary condition by assuming plane stress conditions. The method employed is based on solution of circular hole in finite rectangular plate. This plate is mapped to circular ones and the parti...

BACKGROUND Plate on plate technique can lessen operative time and patient morbidity. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO) using plate on plate technique of locking plate fixation for closed fractures of distal tibia in a prospective study. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-five patients with distal tibial fractures we...

In this paper, the thermal buckling analysis of a circular plate made of FGM materials with actuator/actuator piezoelectric layers based on neutral plane, classical plate theory and first order shear deformation plate theory is investigated. Reddy's model is assumed for material properties of FGM plate. Plate under the thermal loading, nonlinear temperature rise through the thickness and clampe...

A mixture of outstanding merits polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) and metamaterials can lead to the development ultra-light meta-nanomaterials whose high sensitivity be efficiently used in wearable strain sensors. Thus, reliable data about performance structural elements manufactured from such are needed before implementing their design. Motivated by this issue, negative impacts pores microstructur...

In this paper , we describe a relational modeling technique which categorizes three-dimensional objects at a gross level. These models may then be used to classify and recognize two dimensional views of the object, in a scene analysis system.

Various applications of car plate recognition systems have been developed using various kinds of methods and techniques by researchers all over the world. The applications developed were only suitable for specific country due to its standard specification endorsed by the transport department of particular countries. The Road Transport Department of Malaysia also has endorsed a specification for...

A rectangular rod is placed in a flow field flowing parallel to a flat plate. Effect of chord-thickness ratio of rectangular rod on developing vortex shedding downstream to the rod is studied. Then, for each one of the aspect ratios, the distance of the rod from the neighboring flat plate is reduced until the rod sticks to the flat plate. In each case, the effect of the flat plate boundary laye...

The errors in plate motion azimuths inferred from shear wave splitting beneath any one tectonic plate are shown to be correlated with the errors of other azimuths from the same plate. To account for these correlations, we adopt a two-tier analysis: First, find the pole of rotation and confidence limits for each plate individually. Second, solve for the best fit to these poles while constraining...

Twenty-seven crosses were used to study the genetics of rapidly evolving traits in a recently founded population of threespine stickleback in Loberg Lake, Alaska. Lateral plate morph segregation ratios were inconsistent with all published models of lateral plate morph genetics except Avise’s (1976) general two-locus model. Incompatibility of the results of our plate morph crosses with those of ...
