The present article deals with static and dynamic behavior of functionally graded skew plates based on the three–dimensional theory of elasticity. On the basis of the principle of minimum potential energy and the Rayleigh Ritz method, the equations of motion are derived in conjunction with the graded finite element approach. Solution of the resulted system of equations in time domain is carried...

Character segmentation and detection play a very important role in the license plate recognition (LPR) system. For accurate character segmentation first need is to remove skew from the received license plate for the night vision images. Skew is the angle by which the image seems to be deviated from its perceived steady state position. To solve the problem, a combined approach for skew correctio...

In the present investigation, free vibration of functionally graded material (FGM) skew plates under thermal environment is studied. Kinematics equations are based on the Reddy’s higher order shear deformation theory and a nine noded isoparametric Lagrangian element is adopted to mesh the plate geometry. The issue of C1 continuity requirement related to the assumed displacement field has been c...

A simple technique, based on the recently developed elastic strip analysis (ESA)[1] of bi-harmonic equation for moments and deflections simply supported rectangular plates from finite series expression suggested valid displacement function method, is applied to skewed rhombic plates. The formulation uses a characterization load area contributed by shorter diagonal longer obtain fractions in fou...
