The stiffened rectangular plate was usually adopted in the blast airtight doors. In order to improve the buckling capacity of stiffened rectangular plate under uniform normal compression, the optimization model of stiffened rectangular plate was set up based on APDL and ANSYS commands, and the sequential linear programming method was executed to optimize the thickness of plate and the sizes of ...

The Hadamard and SJT product of matrices are two types of special matrix product. The latter was first defined by Chen [1]. In this study, they are applied to the differential quadrature (DQ) solution of geometrically nonlinear bending of isotropic and orthotropic rectangular plates. By using the Hadamard product, the nonlinear formulations are greatly simplified, while the SJT product approach...

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...

this paper has focused on vibration and buckling of thin rectangular plates when at least two opposite sides are simply supported condition and subjected to axial and biaxial initially stresses. analysis is based on exact solution method, without further usage of any approximate method. first analytic techniques are used to discuss the free vibrations of plate. then, natural frequencies and cri...

We investigate the global bifurcations and multipulse chaotic dynamics of a simply supported laminated composite piezoelectric rectangular thin plate under combined parametric and transverse excitations. We analyze directly the nonautonomous governing equations of motion for the laminated composite piezoelectric rectangular thin plate. The results obtained here indicate that the multipulse chao...
