An accurate solution procedure based on the three-dimensional elasticity theory for the free vibration analysis of Functionally Graded Sandwich (FGS) plates is presented. Since no assumptions on stresses and displacements have been employed, it can be applied to the free vibration analysis of plates with arbitrary thickness. The two-constituent FGS plate consists of ceramic and metal graded thr...

Generalized nonnegative polynomials are defined as products of nonnegative polynomials raised to positive real powers. The generalized degree can be defined in a natural way. In this paper we extend quadrature sums involving pth powers of polynomials to those for generalized polynomials.

In this work, a comprehensive vibrational behavior analysis is performed on anti-symmetric laminated composite plates resting visco-elastic foundations undergoing thermal effects. Here, the governing equations of motion are developed through Hamilton's principle and Reddy's plate theory as higher-order shear deformation (HSDT) employed to capture high accuracy. Also, generalized differential qu...

v-shaped and triangular cantilevers are widely employed in atomic force microscope (afm) imaging techniques due to their stability. for the design of vibration control systems of afm cantilevers which utilize patched piezo actuators, obtaining an accurate system model is indispensable prior to acquiring the information related to natural modes. a general differential quadrature element method (...
