In this paper, the vibrations of thin plate in modified couple stress thermoelastic medium by using Kirchhoff- Love plate theory has been investigated. The governing equations of motion and heat conduction equation for Lord Shulman (L-S) [1] theory are written with the help of Kirchhoff- Love plate theory. The thermoelastic damping of micro-beam resonators is analyzed by using the normal mode a...

The plate-type coalescer was constructed and tested for the continuous separation of immiscible liquids in micro-scale. Two plates formed the main structure of the coalescer. A flat and rectangular channel was situated between the plates. The material options for the plates were PTFE, stainless steel and glass which formed the contact surfaces for the fluids in the device. The liquid-liquid dis...

In this article, element free Galerkin method is used for static analysis of thin micro/nanoscale plates based on the nonlocal plate theory. The problem is solved for the plates with arbitrary boundary conditions. Since shape functions of the element free Galerkin method do not satisfy the Kronecker’s delta property, the penalty method is used to impose the essential boundary conditions. Discre...

Micro-plate implants are jaw in the form of straight plates. The need for micro-plate Indonesia is quite high. Current fabricated using two machining processes, namely Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (wire-EDM) and micro-milling. These processes one reasons why price market expensive. One way to lower shorten implant manufacturing process. This research develops a process EDM die-sinking ma...

The flow over a sharp flat plate with a finite leading edge angle located in a rarefied hypersonic flow has been investigated numerically with the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method using the Dynamic Molecular Collision (DMC) Model based on Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation of nitrogen molecules. The results of the two-dimensional numerical simulations of the zero leading edge angle p...

This study investigates the three-dimensional structure of the eight plate exoskeletal (shell) assembly of the chiton Tonicella marmorea. X-ray micro-computed tomography and 3D printing elucidate the mechanism of conformational change from a passive (slightly curved, attached to surface) to a defensive (rolled, detached from surface) state of the plate assembly. The passive and defensive confor...
