In many practical engineering situations, a source of vibrations may excite large and flexible structure such as ship’s deck, an aeroplane fuselage, satellite antenna, wall panel. To avoid transmission the vibration structure-borne sound, radial or polar periodicity be used. these cases, numerical approaches to study free forced wave propagation close excitation in coordinates are desirable. Th...

this deals with the harmonic forced vibration of a circular plate surface bonded by two piezoelectric layers, based on the kirchhoff plate model. the form of electric potential field in the piezoelectric layer is assumed such that the maxwell static electricity equation is satisfied. the differential equations of motion are solved analytically for clamped edge boundary condition of the plate. t...

The modelization of bending plates with through the thickness cracks is investigated. We consider the Kirchhoff-Love plate model which is valid for very thin plates. We apply the eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM) strategy: enrichment of the finite element space with the asymptotic bending and with the discontinuity across the crack. We present two variants and their numerical validations an...

Negative entropy has been known in Casimir systems for some time. For example, it can occur between parallel metallic plates modeled by a realistic Drude permittivity. Less well known is that negative entropy can occur purely geometrically, say between a perfectly conducting sphere and a conducting plate. The latter effect is most pronounced in the dipole approximation, which is reliable when t...

BACKGROUND In a retrospective study, risk factors for complications after the bridging of mandibular defects using reconstruction plates were reviewed. Especially the loosening of the plate-screw-mandible complex should be analyzed with a finite element model in order to reduce plate complications in future. PATIENTS AND METHODS We examined 60 patients who underwent a treatment with reconstru...

In this article, bending, buckling, and free vibration of viscoelastic sandwich plate with carbon nanotubes reinforced composite facesheets and an isotropic homogeneous core on viscoelastic foundation are presented using a new first order shear deformation theory. According to this theory, the number of unknown’s parameters and governing equations are reduced and also the using of shear correct...

In the slitting method, a small width slit is created incrementally through the thickness of the stressed specimen and the released strains in each increment are recorded by a strain gauge. Compliance coefficients relate the measured strains to the residual stresses. This paper investigates the important parameters influencing the calculation of compliance coefficients for isotropic plates and ...
