Porous-elastic Plates: Fourier Versus Type III

On Bending of Elastic Plates*

Nonlinear Dynamic Response of Functionally Graded Porous Plates on Elastic Foundation Subjected to Thermal and Mechanical Loads

In this paper, the first-order shear deformation theory is used to derive theoretical formulations illustrating the nonlinear dynamic response of functionally graded porous plates under thermal and mechanical loadings supported by Pasternak’s model of the elastic foundation. Two types of porosity including evenly distributed porosities (Porosity-I) and unevenly distributed porosities (Porosity-...

Closed Reduction versus Open Reduction and Pin Fixation in Pediatric Type III Supracondylar Humeral Fractures

Background Supracondylar humeral fractures constitute about 60% and 13% of all pediatric elbow and pediatric skeletal fractures, respectively, with a peak incidence in the 5-7 years age group. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare closed reduction with open reduction and pin fixation in type III supracondylar humeral fractures in children younger than...

ry gas operation of proton exchange membrane fuel cells with parallel hannels : Non - porous versus porous plates hawn

We present a study of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells with parallel channel flow fields for the cathode, dry inlet gases, and ambient pressure at the outlets. The study compares the performance of two designs: a standard, non-porous graphite cathode plate design and a porous hydrophilic carbon plate version. The experimental study of the non-porous plate is a control case and highligh...

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...
