This study indicates the analysis of functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced composite (FG-CNTRC) plates using a four-node quadrilateral element related to C0-type Reddy’s third-order shear deformation theory (C0 HSDT) and cell-based smoothed strains (CS) strategy. is surely taking advantages desirable properties theory. Besides, FG-CNTRC with advanced material are changed from bottom to...

the effect of steel plate thickness on the repair effectiveness of rc beam is presented in this paper. a total of four beams were tested, one beam repaired by cfrp with a thickness of 1.2 mm and used as a control beam, and three beams repaired by a steel plate. steel plates with a thickness of 2 mm, 3 mm, and 4 mm were used in repairing the beams. the maximum load-carrying capacity, deflection ...

the effect of a distributed patch mass on the natural frequency of vibration of a laminated rectangular plate with simply supported boundaries is investigated. the third order displacement field of a composite laminated rectangular plate is defined using the two variable refined plate theory. equations of motion of the plate are obtained with the help of calculus of variation. parametric study ...

This study developed a finite element model according to higher-order shear deformation beam theory (HSDT) for the buckling analysis of functionally graded (FG) beams. Equilibrium equations FG are obtained from Lagrange’s equations. The be discussed within scope has 5 nodes and 16 degrees freedom (DOF). As result analysis, critical load was various boundary conditions, power-law index (p), slen...

natural vibration analysis of plates represents an important issue in engineering applications. in this paper, a new and simplify method for vibration analysis of circular and rectangular plates is presented. the design of an effective robust controller, which consistently attenuates transverse vibration of the plate caused by an external disturbance force, is given. the dynamics of the plate i...

drop plate technique has a priority and preference compared with the spread plate procedure, because of less time, quantity of media, effort requirement, little incubator space, and less labor intensive. the objective of this research was to compare the accuracy and fidelity of drop plate method vs. spread plate method by parametric and nonparametric statistical tests. for bacterial enumeration...
