The goal of this research is to carry out a 3-dimensional finite detail approach evaluation composite plate cracked under thermal loading. results the mechanical properties composite, orientation angle fibers, geometric form plate, loading and crack length had been studied show their influence on variation integral J. It concluded that J increases with increase size, temperature reduce in fiber...

BACKGROUND The high loads on adolescent athletes' musculoskeletal system are known to cause morphological and degenerative changes in bone, intervertebral discs and joints. It has been suggested that the cam deformity of the proximal femoral head originates from a subclinical slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) as a result of non-physiological loading. The perichondrial fibrocartilaginous ...

Two series of experiments are performed to investigate the dynamic response of various essential components of a class of sandwich structures, under high-rate inertial loads. One consists of dynamic inertia tests and the other involves dynamic impact tests. A split Hopkinson bar apparatus is modified and used for these experiments. First, the energy-absorbing characteristics of the plate materi...

This study aims to find suitable fatigue assessment methods for welded structures (cover plates and T-joints) subjected axial bending loading. The Hot Spot Stress (HSS), 1-mm stress (OM), Theory of Critical Distances (TCD), Averaging (SA), Effective Notch (ENS) are evaluated in terms accuracy reliability. evaluation is based on test data extracted from the literature carried out this study. It ...

This paper describes the application of refined plate theory to investigate free vibration and buckling analyses of functionally graded nanocomposite plates reinforced by aggregated carbon nanotube (CNT). The refined shear deformation plate theory (RSDT) uses four independent unknowns and accounts for a quadratic variation of the transverse shear strains across the thickness, satisfying the zer...

In this paper, buckling behavior of moderately thick functionally graded rectangular plates resting on elastic foundation subjected to linearly varying in-plane loading is investigated. The neutral surface position for a functionally graded plate which its material properties vary in the thickness direction is determined. Based on the first-order shear deformation plate theory and the neutral s...

The use of steel flush end-plate moment connection is practiced in the construction of the light steel frames around the world particularly in parts of Europe and US. In the past most research was concentrated on studying the behavior of the flush end-plate connection subjected to only monotonic type loadings. The majority of that research carried out such investigation through experimental pro...
