Abstract Based on the Rayleigh-Ritz method, transverse vibration characteristics of a rectangular plate with an arbitrarily shaped inner opening are investigated. A modified two-dimensional Fourier series was chosen as trial function and springs different stiffnesses were used to equate arbitrary boundary conditions plate. The Lagrange generalization open is obtained by equating area special fi...

in this paper, a rectangular sandwich plate with a constrained layer and an electrorheological (er) fluid core is investigated. the rectangular plate is covered an er fluid core and a constraining layer to improve the stability of the system. the two outer layers of the sandwich structure are elastic. the viscoelastic materials express the middle layer behavior under electric field and small st...

The present paper treats the problem of finding the asymptotic bounds for the globally optimal locations of orthogonal stiffeners minimizing the compliance of a rectangular plate in elastostatic bending. The essence of the paper is the utilization of a method of analysis of orthogonally stiffened rectangular plates first presented by Mazurkiewicz in 1962, and obtained herein in a closed form fo...

in this paper the critical strain energy release rate for t300/913 carbon-epoxy laminated composites has been studied using ansys finite element software based on virtual crack closure technique ( vcct ). compact tension ( ct ) specimen has been used for numerical analyses and the geometrical dimensions have been extracted from the existing references. the results obtained from the finite eleme...

This study presents critical buckling of functionally graded soft ferromagnetic porous (FGFP) rectangular plates, under magnetic field with simply supported boundary condition. Equilibrium and stability equations of a porous rectangular plate in transverse magnetic field are derived. The geometrical nonlinearities are considered in the Love-Kirchhoff hypothesis sense. The formulations are compa...

In this study the effects of corrugated absorber plate and using aerosol-carbon black nanofluid on heat transfer and turbulent flow in solar collectors with double application and air heating collectors, were numerically investigated. The two-dimensional continuity, momentum and energy equation were solved by finite volume and SIMPLE algorithm. In the present investigation all the simulations w...

the welding in cold formed areas is not only an open question for statically loaded sections (brittle fracture) but also for dynamically loaded structures (fatigue resistance). a lot of structures are subjected to dynamic loadings and unfortunately very little information about the influence of welding in the cold formed areas on fatigue resistance is available. in order to establish the fatigu...

In the present study, stress analysis and explicit solution of rectangular plate with arbitrarily located circular hole, subjected to linear normal stresses on two opposite edges, has been investigated. Airy function and hoop stresses occurring at the edge of the circular have been computed. In this method 2D dimension elasticity and Airy stress function was used. The present method for explici...
