Fuzzy Logic Approach for Impact Source Identification in Ceramic Plates

A great deal of interest has been shown in the literature in the development of new Non-Destructive Techniques (NDT). In particular, there is increasing interest in detecting, evaluating and locating cracks as well as the source of the impact causing these cracks. Fuzzy logic was shown to be useful in crack detection, and severity of crack in materials. In this paper Fuzzy logic has been used i...

Thickness Stretch Vibrations of Piezoelectric Ceramic Plates for Resonator Applications

The thickness stretch vibrations of piezoelectric ceramic plates are analyzed by solving the first-order Mindlin plate equations with finite element method in the twodimensional domain. The precise resonance frequency and distribution of displacements are obtained from the analysis in detail. The results based on the two-dimensional solutions are more important particularly in the evaluation of...

Thermoelastic Relaxation in Elastic Structures, with Applications to Thin Plates

A new result enables direct calculation of thermoelastic damping in vibrating elastic solids. The mechanism for energy loss is thermal diffusion caused by inhomogeneous deformation, flexure in thin plates. The general result is combined with the Kirchhoff assumption to obtain a new equation for the flexural vibration of thin plates incorporating thermoelastic loss as a damping term. The thermal...

Edge layers in thin elastic plates

Monique DAUGE and Isabelle GRUAIS Abstract. This paper deals with the asymptotics of the displacement of a thin elastic plate when it is submitted to various boundary conditions on its lateral face: namely, hard and soft clamped conditions, and hard support. Of particular interest is the in uence of the edges of the plate where boundary conditions of di erent types meet. The singular perturbati...
