Convergence studies for the static analysis of thin plates resting on Pasternak foundations is performed. The are discretized using two different finite elements, formulations which based Kirchhoff and Reissner-Mindlin plate theories. shear locking problem arises when full integration used in element implementation theory eliminated with selective integration. foundation accounted by adding par...

in this research, the surface stress effect on the nonlocal vibration of piezoelectric square plate reinforced by single walled carbon nanotubes (swcnts) based on classical plate theory (cpt) and first order shear deformation theory (fsdt) is presented. the elastic properties of piezoelectric nanocomposite plate are estimated by eshelby-mori-tanaka and the extended mixture rule approaches. the ...

it is well-known that the behavior of soil-structure systems can be well described using a limited number of non-dimensional parameters. this is the outcome of researches based on the premise that the foundation is bonded to the ground. here, it is shown the concept can be extended to systems with foundation uplift. a set of non-dimensional parameters are introduced which controls the main feat...

In this paper, a continuum model based on the nonlocal elasticity theory is developed for vibration analysis of embedded orthotropic circular and elliptical micro/nano-plates. The nano-plate is bounded by a Pasternak foundation. Governing vibration equation of the nonlocal nano-plate is derived using Nonlocal Classical Plate Theory (NCPT). The weighted residual statement and the Galerkin method...

This paper presents the analysis of wave propagation in functionally-graded (FG) nanoplates on a Winkler–Pasternak foundation. The investigation is carried out framework nonlocal elasticity theory and new four-unknown higher-order displacement including indeterminate integral terms. Hamilton’s principle Navier’s method are used to obtain frequency relations FG for different conditions by solvin...

 In the present paper damped vibrations of non-homogeneous infinite rectangular plate of parabolically varying thickness resting on elastic foundation has been studied. Following Lévy approach, the equation of motion of plate of varying thickness in one direction is solved by quintic spline method. The effect of damping, elastic foundation and taperness is discussed with permissible range of pa...

The aim of this study is to investigatethe effective parameters on vibrations of circular cylindrical shells with fixed rotary speed andresting elastic foundation by means of analytical and finite element numerical simulation. First, the governing equations are derived using the theory of Donnell, considering the centrifugal forces,Coriolis acceleration, and the initial annular tension. Then, t...
