This paper presents new exact 3-D (three-dimensional) elasticity closed-form solutions for out-of-plane free vibration of thick rectangular single layered FG (functionally graded) plates and thick rectangular homogeneous plate coated by a functionally graded layer with simply supported boundary conditions. It is assumed that the plate is on a Winkler-Pasternak elastic foundation and elasticity ...

Bone loss may affect the structure of cancellous bone. But its effect on trabeculae with different characteristics, like rods and plates, is not accurately known. This study analyzes the effect of bone loss on individual rod-like and plate-like trabeculae. 94 specimens were obtained from mandibular condyles from both dentate and edentate humans and scanned with a micro-CT scanner. The bone volu...

present paper is devoted to stress and deformation analyses of heated variable thickness functionally graded (fg) circular plate with clamped supported, embedded on a gradient elastic foundation and subjected to non-uniform transverse load. the plate is coupled by an elastic medium which is simulated as a winkler- pasternak foundation with gradient coefficients in the radial and circumferential...

This paper introduces an experimental work to study the behavior of 12 recycled aggregate concrete-filled steel tubular (RACFST) short columns with high-strength concrete grade subjected axial compression loading. These formed from six different cross-sections involving triangle, elliptical, and hexagon, whereas other three sections included traditional forms for control purposes, square, recta...

Urban development requires careful attitude to environment on the one hand and protection of population from natural phenomena other. To solve these problems, various building structures are used, in which slabs shells variable thickness find wide application. In this work, family multilayered finite elements for analysis plates is described. The based simplest flat triangular element Kirchhoff...

In this paper, the vibration behavior features are extracted from combination between Wavelet Transform (WT), and Finite Strip Transition Matrix (FSTM) of skew composite plates (SCPs), with variable thickness, intermediate elastic support. Although, results technique based on previous work done by authors, that show method can reflect plates. Due to method's difficulty in terms of, a lot calcul...
