natural vibration analysis of plates represents an important issue in engineering applications. in this paper, a new and simplify method for vibration analysis of circular and rectangular plates is presented. the design of an effective robust controller, which consistently attenuates transverse vibration of the plate caused by an external disturbance force, is given. the dynamics of the plate i...

In this study, nonlinear bending of functionally graded (FG) circular sector plates with simply supported radial edges subjected to transverse mechanical loading has been investigated. Based on the first-order shear deformation plate theory with von Karman strain-displacement relations, the nonlinear equilibrium equations of sector plates are obtained. Introducing a stress function and a potent...

This paper presents the governing equations and analytical solutions of classical shear deformation theories functionally graded axisymmetric circular plates. The classical, first-order, third-order are presented, accounting for through-thickness variation two-constituent material, modified couple stress effect, von Kármán nonlinearity. Analytical bending linear theories, some which not readily...

We experimentally demonstrate the use of annular beams to improve lateral resolution in laser-diode-based pump-probe microscopy. We found that the width of the point-spreading function in the case of the annular pump-probe beams is 162 nm, which is 30% smaller than that of the circular beams (232 nm). Furthermore, side lobes were efficiently suppressed at the focal plane since the pump-probe si...

Steel plates are used in various structures, such as the structures of the deck and body of ships, bridges, and aerospace industry. In this study, we investigate the buckling and post-buckling behavior of rectangular steel plates having circular cutouts with two boundary conditions: first, clamped supports at upper and lower ends and free supports at other edges; second, clamped supports at upp...

The effects of various parameters on the hovering performance of an annular lift fan aircraft are investigated by using numerical scheme. The pitch angle, thickness, aspect ratio (chord length), number of blades, and radius of duct inlet lip are explored to optimize the figure of merit. The annular lift fan is also compared with a conventional circular lift fan of the same features with the sam...
