The paper presents new results on the localization and transmission of flexural waves in a structured plate containing a semi-infinite two-dimensional array of rigid pins. In particular, localized waves are identified and studied at the interface boundary between the homogeneous part of the flexural plate and the part occupied by rigid pins. A formal connection has been made with the dispersion...

Coordinate-transformation-inspired optical devices have been mostly examined in the continuous-wave regime: performance of an invisibility cloak, which has demonstrated for monochromatic excitation, is likely to deteriorate short pulses. Here, pulse dynamics flexural waves propagating transformed plates investigated. A practical realization a waveshifter and rotator based on coordinate transfor...

This study evaluated the influence of the manipulation technique and polishing method on the flexural strength and cytotoxicity of acrylic resins. Two manipulation techniques and three polishing methods were used in the fabrication of acrylic plates that were divided into 6 groups (n=10). Groups MM, MC and MW: mass technique with mechanical polishing, chemical polishing and without polishing, r...

this study presents exact bending solution of fully clamped orthotropic rectangular plates subjected to arbitrary loads resting on elastic foundations, based on the finite integral transform method. in this method, it is not necessary to determine the deformation function because the basic governing equations of the classical plate theory for orthotropic plates have been used. a detailed parame...

A large wall with vertical cracks at mid-span, varying in width of up to 3 mm wide, had been declared capable of resisting a postulated seismic load. It was not straightforward to subsequently confirm, analytically, what influence the crack had on the wall’s capacity for lateral loading. It was assumed that it was likely that the horizontal reinforcement had yielded across the crack and thus th...
