[1] We investigate the relationship between high-precision hypocentres in the subducting Juan de Fuca plate beneath southwest British Columbia, and the velocity structure from receiver function analysis and reflection seismic data. 108 earthquakes at depths of 40 to 65 km were relocated using a double-difference algorithm to obtain precise earthquake locations. Correlation of the relocated seis...

The solution for a simply supported many-sided polygonal plate does not agree with that for the corresponding circular plate. This paper describes the earlier work of Rao and Rajaiah on polygonal plates and then explains why best convergence of series solutions occurs when the boundary conditions are denned as w = Vw> = 0. Notation D — operator in original problems, D = operator adjoint to D, F...

In the present paper, the buckling problem of rectangular functionally graded (FG) plate with arbitrary edge supports is investigated. The present analysis is based on the classical plate theory (CPT) and large deformation is assumed for deriving stability equations. The plate is subjected to bi-axial compression loading. Mechanical properties of FG plate are assumed to vary continuously along ...

A trigonometric plate theory is assessed for the static bending analysis of plates resting on Winkler elastic foundation. The theory considers the effects of transverse shear and normal strains. The theory accounts for realistic variation of the transverse shear stress through the thickness and satisfies the traction free conditions at the top and bottom surfaces of the plate without using shea...

Abstract—In this study, the static behavior of super elliptical Winkler plate is analyzed by applying the double side approach method. The lack of information about super elliptical Winkler plates is the motivation of this study and we use the double side approach method to solve this problem because of its superior ability on efficiently treating problems with complex boundary shape. The doubl...

OBJECTIVE This study was designed to evaluate the functional and radiological outcomes of patients with complex tibial plateau fractures treated with double-buttress plate fixation. METHODS Sixty five cases of complex (Schatzker type V and VI) tibial plateau fractures were treated with double-buttress plate fixation in our centre from September 2001 to September 2006 through two separate plat...

BACKGROUND Neglected fracture of neck of femur in young adults is a major problem in developing countries. Existing treatment options varies from osteotomy to various graft techniques (muscle pedicle, vascularized and nonvascularized fibula etc.). There is paucity of literature regarding the use of double angle barrel plate and hip screw in such cases. We conducted a prospective longitudinal ob...

Introduction Despite recent advances with total ankle replacement designs, ankle arthrodesis still remains the gold standard in treating symptomatic end-stage osteoarthritis. Among all techniques, screw fixation has shown to be one of the most applied techniques to perform ankle fusions. Due to a considerable rate of failures of conventional cross-screw techniques, more recently, a more anatomi...
