In this paper, the effect of anisotropy on the free vibration of laminated rectangular plate supporting a localized patch mass is investigated. The two variable refined plate theory is applied to define the third order displacement field of a composite rectangular plate. The plate is considered to have simply supported boundaries. The equations of motion for rectangular plate are obtained by ca...

Summary Multilateral comparison of outcomes drawn from multiple groups pervade the social sciences and measurement their variability, usually involving functions respective group location scale parameters, is intrinsic interest. However, such approaches frequently mask more fundamental differences that comprehensive examination relative distributional structures reveal. Indeed, in categorical d...
