A simple model presented here is to study the thermal effect on vibration of non-homogeneous orthotropic visco-elastic rectangular plate of parabolically varying thickness having clamped boundary conditions on all the four edges. For non-homogeneity of the plate material, density is assumed to vary linearly in one direction. Using the separation of variables method, the governing differential e...

In the present study, a vibration analysis of functionally graded rectangular nano-/microplates was considered based on modified nonlinear coupled stress exponential and trigonometric shear deformation plate theories. Modified coupled stress theory is a non-classical continuum mechanics theory. In this theory, a material-length scale parameter is applied to account for the effect of nanostructu...

Abstract The mean wake of a three-dimensional surface-mounted rectangular flat plate was studied experimentally in low-speed wind tunnel for four different aspect (height-to-width) ratios, AR = 3, 2, 1, and 0.5. Reynolds number based on the width Re 3.8 × 10 4 boundary layer thickness ground plane, relative to width, δ / W 1.1. incidence angle varied from α 0° (where is normal flow) 90° paralle...

Waveguides in non-destructive evaluation (NDE) applications are commonly of a regular geometry (e.g., circular and ring cross section) for which analytical solutions exist. In this paper, wave propagation in infinitely long strips of large rectangular aspect ratio is discussed. Due to the finite width of strips, a large number of modes exist within the structure. This complicates the analysis a...
