The nite element method with rectangular meshes for the Reissner-Mindlin plate is analyzed. For a plate with thickness bounded below by a positive constant (moderately thick plate), derivative superconvergence of the nite element solution at the Gaussian points is justiied and optimal error estimates for both rotation and displacement are established.

An analytical study was conducted on a submersible pressure hull composed of a hybridsandwich cylindrical shell reinforced with circular frames. Unlike most sandwich plates, the hybrid consists of a thin core with thick faces. Hulls fabricated from such plate when employing a visco-elastic core exhibit inherent acoustic damping properties when radiated with external noise. Typically, however, c...

BACKGROUND Small molecules classified as haptens are generally measured by competitive immunoassay, which is theoretically inferior to noncompetitive sandwich immunoassay in terms of sensitivity and specificity. We created a method for developing sandwich immunoassays to measure haptens on the basis of antimetatype antibodies. METHODS We generated antimetatype monoclonal antibodies against a ...

This highly sensitive immunoenzymometnc assay method involves monoclonalantibodies, a common-capturemicrosphere, and a rapid, membrane-filtration separation step. The common-capture solid phase is monoclonal anti-fluorescain antibody covalently attached to 6.5-sm-diameter latex particles. In sandwich-type assays for large-molecule analytes, the capture antibody is conjugated with fluorescein Is...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the deformation and flexural properties of acrylic and urethane polymers reinforced with glass fiber sheet. Four types of specimen — self-curing resin plate (R) , light-curing oligomer plate containing a reinforcement (GO) , and self-curing resin plate containing a reinforcement on one (GR) or both (GRG) sides — were prepared with three thicknesses: ...

Thermal stresses and displacement functions are obtained for a rectangular plate occupying the space R: -a < x a, 0 y b, -h z h, with known boundary initial conditions. In this inverse problem unknown surface temperature is determined on along y-axis when at some internal point known. The governing heat conduction equation has been solved by applying Marchi – Fasulo transform Laplace techniq...

a two dimensional generalized thermoelastic problem of a thick circular plate of finite thickness and infinite extent subjected to continuous axisymmetric heat supply and an internal heat generation is studied within the context of generalized thermoelasticity. unified system of equations for classical coupled thermoelasticity, lord-shulman and green-lindsay theory is considered. an exact solut...
