This paper is the second part of free vibration and stability analysis thick isotropic orthotropic plates. The support condition CCCC CCFC was considered by applying alternative II theory based on polynomial shape function. work application formulation earlier derived using Ritz method. frequency values first mode critical loads obtained were compared with those order shear deformation theory. ...

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...

This paper deals with the dynamic characterisation of plate structures elliptical orthotropic stiffness properties, using an equivalent thin theory a wave fitting approach. The method consists in projecting experimentally determined transverse displacement field on analytical Green’s function based Hankel’s functions. error between projected and measured fields is then minimized, varying charac...
