The present study focused mainly on the vibration analysis of composite laminated plates subjected tothermal and mechanical loads or without any load (free vibration). Natural frequency dynamicresponse are analyzed by analytical, numerical experimental (by using impact hammer) fordifferent cases. investigation is to manufacture laminates find mechanicaland thermal properties glass-polyester suc...

1. Introduction Recently, very small antennas are requested in RFID tags and tire attached sensors of the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). In these applications, normal-mode helical antennas (NMHA) are interested that can achieve high antenna efficiencies at very small size such as 1/100 wavelengths. Moreover, NMHA can increase antenna gains in the metal plate proximity use. However, NMH...

The meshless local Petrov–Galerkin (MLPG) method with radial basis functions (RBFs), and the higher order shear and normal deformable plate theory (HOSNDPT) are used to analyze static infinitesimal deformations of thick laminated composite elastic plates under different boundary conditions. Two types of RBFs, namely, multiquadrics (MQ) and thin plate splines (TPS), are employed for constructing...

The aim of this paper is to extend, to the linear elasticity system, the asymptotic analysis by compensated compactness previously developed by the authors for the linear diffusion equation. For simplicity, we restrict ourselves to stratified media. In the case of sole homogenization we recover the classical result of W.H. Mc Connel, deriving explicitly the effective elasticity tensor for strat...
