A new form of thr~-dimensioM1 crystals of the 50 S ribosomal subunits from Haiobacterium m~~mortui has been obtained at 19”C, using ~iyethyle~e glycol in the presence of 1.2-1.7 M KC1 in the crystall~tion mixture. The crystals diffract X-rays to 13 A and are stable in the synehrotron radiation beam for 4-8 h. Being aggregates of thin plates, the dimensions of only two unit cell edges, 147 x 181...

This paper presents new exact 3-D (three-dimensional) elasticity closed-form solutions for out-of-plane free vibration of thick rectangular single layered FG (functionally graded) plates and thick rectangular homogeneous plate coated by a functionally graded layer with simply supported boundary conditions. It is assumed that the plate is on a Winkler-Pasternak elastic foundation and elasticity ...

In this paper the recently developed semi-analytic method to solve the free-surface wave interaction with a thin elastic plate is extended to the case of a plate of finite thickness. The method used is based on the reformulation of the differential-integral equation for this problem. The thickness of the plate is chosen such that the elastic behavior of the plate can be described by means of th...

In this paper a variationally consistent trigonometric shear deformation theory is presented for the free vibration of thick isotropic square and rectangular plate. In this displacement based theory, the in-plane displacement field uses sinusoidal function in terms of thickness coordinate to include the shear deformation effect. The cosine function in terms of thickness coordinate is used in tr...

Thermo-elastic damping is a significant dissipation mechanism in high quality factor microstructures. In this paper, thermo-elastic damping of the in-plane vibration of fully clamped rectangular micro-plates has been studied. The governing equation of the micro-plate motion and heat conduction equation were derived. Then, The Galerkin method has been used to solve the coupled heat-displacement ...

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...

the effect of welding residual stresses that was created in thin infill plate of steel plate shear wall system during constructional processes was studied in this research. residual stresses in a welded structure is the result of the non-uniform expansion and contraction and plastic deformation of the weld and surrounding base metal due to heating and cooling cycle, during welding process, this...
