Uncoupled multilayer plates create a complex dynamical structure, where depending on input parameters and initial and boundary conditions, various vibration types appear. In spite of undoubtable achievements in static and dynamical problems of nonlinear theory of plates, the problems of contacts exhibited by multilayer plates subject to both longitudinal and transversal time-changeable loads ar...

The purpose of this paper was to analyze the biomechanical performance of customized mandibular reconstruction plates with optimized strength. The best locations for increasing bar widths were determined with a sensitivity analysis. Standard and customized plates were mounted on mandible models and mechanically tested. Maximum stress in the plate could be reduced from 573 to 393 MPa (-31%) by i...

Underwater ultrasonic transmissions for fluid-solid and air-solid phononic brass plates are reported in this work. Although the structure is roughly the same, experimental results show very different behaviour between fluid-solid and air-solid phononic plates, due to most of the properties of the fluid-solid perforated plates rely on Fabry-Perot resonances, Wood anomalies and Lamb modes. In air...

In this report, we describe a simple packaging method which can be used to preserve either normal or salt-agar plates during prolonged incubation. In our search for halophilic microorganisms from Indonesian "Pindang," consisting of boiled and salted fish (S. Iljas and L. J. Ronsivalli. Fishery Ind. Res., in press), it was evident from the literature (2) that prolonged incubation might be necess...
