This article investigates the static behavior of functionally graded plate under mechanical loads by using a new quasi 3D model. The theory is designated as fifth-order shear and normal deformation theory (FOSNDT). Properties of functionally graded material are graded across the transverse direction by using the rule of mixture i.e. power-law. The effect of thickness stretching is considered to...

A new compact sensor configuration comprising a single transmitter and multi-receivers (STMR) is presented for the in situ structural health monitoring (SHM) of large plate-like isotropic structures. The STMR exploits the long-range propagation characteristics of ultrasonic guided Lamb waves and a phase reconstruction algorithm to provide defect detection and location capability under non-dispe...

The noise generated by the interaction of a turbulent inflow with the leading edge of a flat plate or an airfoil is a dominant sound source, for example in rotor-stator configurations of fans and air condition units. Aeroacoustic research of this noise source often includes performing wind tunnel experiments, where the required incident turbulence is generated by passive grids or meshes. In cer...

This study investigates the applicability of time reversal concept in modern acoustics to structural health monitoring. A time reversal method has been adapted to guided-wave propagation to improve the detectability of local defects in composite plate structures. Specifically, wavelet-based signal processing techniques have been developed to enhance the time reversibility of Lamb wave in thin c...

The available shear correction factors have mainly been developed for homogeneous isotropic plates and/or assuming that no shear tractions are imposed on the top and bottom surfaces of the plate. In the present research, a more general case of a circular functionally graded plate subjected to non-uniform normal and shear tractions at the top and bottom surfaces is considered. These non-uniform ...

a two dimensional generalized thermoelastic problem of a thick circular plate of finite thickness and infinite extent subjected to continuous axisymmetric heat supply and an internal heat generation is studied within the context of generalized thermoelasticity. unified system of equations for classical coupled thermoelasticity, lord-shulman and green-lindsay theory is considered. an exact solut...

in this paper vibration of ferromagnetic rectangular plates which are subjected to an inclined magnetic field is investigated based on classical plate theory and maxwell equations. levy type solution and finite element method using comsol software are used to obtain the frequency of the plate subjected to different boundary conditions, good agreements is obtained when computed results are compa...
