H and C NMR spectra were recorded with Bruker DPX-400, AVANCE-400 and DRX-500. The numbering of the protons relate to the numbering chosen in Fig. 1. High resolution mass spectra were obtained with a Micromass LCT via loop-mode injection from a Waters (Alliance 2695) HPLC system. Alternatively a Micromass Q-TOF in combination with a Waters Aquity Ultraperformance LC system was employed. Ionizat...

Analysis for the generalized thermoelastic Lamb waves, which propagates in anisotropic thin plates in generalized thermoelasticity, is presented employing normal mode expansion method. The displacement and temperature fields are expressed by a summation of the symmetric and antisymmetric thermoelastic modes in the surface thermal stresses and thermal gradient free orthotropic plate, therefore t...

A general "sound boundary" curve was developed which establishes the combinations of minimum flow Reynolds numbers and percent stenosis required for the onset of vascular murmurs. The curve was derived by a combination of engineering analysis and animal experiments in which thin circular orifice plates were implanted in the descending aortas of anesthetized dogs. The results indicate that the s...

From almost every respect, the lowest-order dilatational waves in thin plates and rods are very similar. Therefore, it is rather intriguing that fluid loading increases the phase velocity of such waves in a plate, but decreases it in a rod. Although this difference can be easily demonstrated by inspection of the well-known exact dispersion equations, the underlying physics remains somewhat obsc...

In this paper, Asymmetric buckling analysis of functionally graded (FG) Circular plates with temperature dependent property that subjected to the uniform radial compression and thermal loading is investigated. This plate is on an elastic medium that simulated by Winkler and Pasternak foundation. Mechanical properties of the plate are assumed to vary nonlinearly by temperature change. The equili...
