Buckling and vibrational behaviour of non-homogeneous orthotropic rectangular plates of variable thickness having two opposite edges (y = 0 and b) simply supported and these are subjected to constant in-plane force have been analyzed on the basis of classical plate theory. The other two edges (x = 0 and a) may be clamped, simply supported or free. For nonhomogeneity of the plate material, Young...

A parametric study of the buckling behavior of infinitely long symmetrically laminated anisotropic plates that are subjected to linearly varying edge loads, uniform shear loads, or combinations of these loads is presented. The study focuses on the effects of the shape of linearly varying edge load distribution, plate orthotropy, and plate flexural anisotropy on plate buckling behavior. In addit...

A closed-form analytical solution procedure is proposed to solve the coupled fluid-structure interaction (FSI) equations that involve first-order Doubly Asymptotic Approximation (DAA1) formulation. An efficient method comprised of nonstandard finite difference (NSFD) scheme applied. First all, are developed analyze response a rigid mass-spring oscillator in an air-backed condition when it subje...

In this paper, the response to moving concentrated masses of highly prestressed orthotropic rectangular plate resting on two parameter elastic sub-grades is investigated. equation governing motion under action travelling masses, it observed that a small multiplies highest order operator which peculiar singular perturbation problems. From literatures, problems in derivatives differential do not ...

A mathematical model for analyzing horizontally polarized shear surface (SH) waves propagating in laminated plates is presented. All the layers are assumed to have monoclinic symmetry. Three types of boundary conditions imposed on the outer surfaces of a plate are considered. A variant of the modified transfer matrix (MTM) method is developed. Closed form dispersion relations are obtained for p...

Exact solutions for free vibration of thick rectangular orthotropic plates when their all edges are clamped sought through asymptotic analysis infinite systems without resorting to the usual truncation series solution. The use modified trigonometric functions made it possible obtain a general solution problem which has same form four cases symmetry quarter plate. Thus, an system linear algebrai...

geometrically nonlinear governing equations for a plate with linear viscoelastic material are derived. the material model is of boltzmann superposi¬tion principle type. a third-order displacement field is used to model the shear deformation effects. for the solution of the nonlinear governing equations the dynamic relaxation (dr) iterative method together with the finite difference discretizati...

A rectangular rod is placed in a flow field flowing parallel to a flat plate. Effect of chord-thickness ratio of rectangular rod on developing vortex shedding downstream to the rod is studied. Then, for each one of the aspect ratios, the distance of the rod from the neighboring flat plate is reduced until the rod sticks to the flat plate. In each case, the effect of the flat plate boundary laye...
