In the present investigation, free vibration of functionally graded material (FGM) skew plates under thermal environment is studied. Kinematics equations are based on the Reddy’s higher order shear deformation theory and a nine noded isoparametric Lagrangian element is adopted to mesh the plate geometry. The issue of C1 continuity requirement related to the assumed displacement field has been c...

A NURBS-based isogeometric finite element formulation is developed and adopted to the free vibration analysis of finite square and skew laminated plates. Variable stiffness plies are assumed due to implementation of curvilinear fiberreinforcements. It is assumed due to employment of tow placement technology, in each ply of variable stiffness composite laminated plate the fiber reinforceme...

Character segmentation and detection play a very important role in the license plate recognition (LPR) system. For accurate character segmentation first need is to remove skew from the received license plate for the night vision images. Skew is the angle by which the image seems to be deviated from its perceived steady state position. To solve the problem, a combined approach for skew correctio...

Automatic Skew Detection and Localization of Vehicle License Plate Using Hough Transform are used to identify a vehicle by its number plate. The proposed algorithm consists of three major parts: Extraction of plate region, segmentation of characters and recognition of plate characters. The proposed license plate localization algorithm is based on a combination of several algorithms that include...

In this paper, a three dimensional analysis of arbitrary straight-sided quadrilateral nanocomposite plates are investigated. The governing equations are based on three-dimensional elasticity theory which can be used for both thin and thick nanocomposite plates. Although the equations can support all the arbitrary straight-sided quadrilateral plates but as a special case, the numerical results f...

Abstract   In this study, generalized differential quadrature analysis of elastic/plastic buckling of skew thin plates is presented. The governing equations are derived for the first time based on the incremental and deformation theories of plasticity and classical plate theory (CPT). The elastic/plastic behavior of plates is described by the Ramberg-Osgood model. The ranges of plate geometries...

Automatic reading of number plate in vehicles is a character recognition system, which detects the characters from the segmented number plate of the vehicle image. The work presented in this paper is to segment the characters initially from the number plate followed by recognition of the segmented characters. The skew corrected and noise free number plate image is initially segmented into its c...

in this paper we consider several generalizations of the skew t-normal distribution, and some of their properties. also, we represent several theorems for constructing each generalized skew t-normal distribution. next, we illustrate the application of the proposed distribution studying the ratio of two heavy metals, nickel and vanadium, associated with crude oil in shadgan wetland in the south-...
