this paper deals with local buckling analysis of rectangular functionally graded material plates using finite strip method and based on classical plate theory. the modulus of elasticity of the plate is assumed to vary according to a power-law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. the principle of minimum total potential energy is employed to obtain stiffness and sta...

curacies within navigation software was investigated. Novel hybrid tracker configurations included use of the Window FG with infrared and/or video-based trackers. Results The fiducial registration error (FRE) between fiducials on the vertical phantom and divot targets was (1.12 ± 0.39), (1.19 ± 0.59), and (1.30 ± 0.91) mm in (x, y, z) directions for the Window FG, respectively, and (1.49 ± 0.63...

An analytical investigation and conceptual design of a disk-shaped asymmetric heat pipe is presented in this work. Using the conservative formulations for the steady incompressible vapor and liquid flow for a disk-shaped heat pipe, an in-depth integral analysis is applied. Analytical results for the asymmetric vapor velocity profile, the vapor and liquid pressure distributions, and the vapor te...

In this paper, the weighted sum of spatial gradients, or WSSG (formerly known as composite velocity) is developed for use in active structural acoustic control (ASAC) on clamped flat rectangular plates. In previous work, WSSG was developed on a simply-supported flat rectangular plate\cite{pseudo}, and showed promise as a control metric. The displacement on the clamped plate has been modeled usi...

In the present study the free vibration analysis of the functionally graded rectangular nanoplates is investigated. The nonlocal elasticity theory based on the exponential shear deformation theory has been used to obtain the natural frequencies of the nanoplate. In exponential shear deformation theory an exponential functions are used in terms of thickness coordinate to include the effect of tr...
