In this article, an exact levy solution is presented for bending analysis of a functionally graded (FG) annular sector plate. The governing equilibrium equations are obtained based on the classical plate theory. Introducing an analytical method for the first time, the three coupled governing equilibrium equations are replaced by an independent equation in term of transverse deflection. This equ...

In this study, nonlinear bending of functionally graded (FG) circular sector plates with simply supported radial edges subjected to transverse mechanical loading has been investigated. Based on the first-order shear deformation plate theory with von Karman strain-displacement relations, the nonlinear equilibrium equations of sector plates are obtained. Introducing a stress function and a potent...

In this paper, mechanical buckling analysis of composite annular sector plates with bean shape cut out is studied. Composite material sector plate made of Glass-Epoxy and Graphite-Epoxy with eight layers with same thickness but different fiber angles for each layer. Mechanical loading to form of uniform pressure loading in radial, environmental and biaxial directions is assumed. The method used...

The germinal plate of 5- to 12-day-old embryos of the leech Hirudo medicinalis consists of an anterior and a posterior sector that differ both structurally and developmentally. The posterior sector includes the five pairs of teloblasts and five paired longitudinal bandlets of stem cells and their descendant blast cells. The mesoteloblast pair and their descendant cells of the m bandlet divide s...

the natural vibrations of clamped annular isotropic sector plates are analyzed using the extended kantorovich method (ekm). a conformal mapping is used to transform a sector with identified geometry to a rectangular plate which the solution is available in literature and solved by dalaei and kerr [1] using ekm. the developed iterative scheme converges very rapidly to the final result. the obtai...

The usefulness of theoretical research results in design depends to a large extent upon their generality and simplicity. For this reason, closed-form solutions are presented in this paper for a number of plate bending problems, these being: (1) a sector cut from an annular plate, loaded along its straight edges; and (2) a semi-infinite plate or a circular plate subjected to concentrated moments...
