This article is devoted to the development of a continual layered plate model multi-story building dynamically assess seismic resistance buildings in spatial statement. Seismic vibrations are modeled as motion thick anisotropic cantilevered plate, deformation which described on basis bimoment theory plates.

This paper presents the results obtained with the simulations of a sandwich rectangular plate made of carbon/epoxy composite when subjected to temperature and humidity cycles. Fickian diffusion process, moisture transport along the interfaces and damage caused by slipping and debonding between the components of the microscopic structure are considered. The application of the design methodology ...

The drilling and riveting processes are widely used in the assembly of carrier rocket, which makes the efficiency and quality of drilling become the important factor affecting the assembly process. According to the problem existing in the drilling of thick stacked plate (thickness larger than 10mm) of carrier rocket, such as drill break, large noise and burr etc., experimental study of the infl...

This article provides a fully analytical approach for nonlinear equilibrium path of rectangular sandwich plates. The core of structure is made of symmetric cross-ply laminated composite and the outer surfaces are piezoelectric actuators which perfectly bonded to inner core. The structure is subjected to electro-thermo-mechanical loads simultaneously. One side of plate is rested on Pasternak typ...

A long-standing question is whether old oceanic lithosphere continues cooling as the boundary layer of a halfspace or approaches thermal equilibrium, as modeled by a finite thickness plate. Although the latter is the most direct inference from seafloor depths and heat flow, other explanations have been proposed. We investigate this issue using published results for the derivative of the oceanic...

1 Necessary conditions have been established recently for the prescribed data along the cylindrical edge(s) of an elastic flat plate to induce only an exponentially decaying elastostatic state. The present paper describes how these conditions may be used to determine the interior solution (or its various thin and thick plate theory approximations) of plate problems. The results in turn show tha...

The analysis of a new viscometer that takes the form of an oscillating plate, fabricated from silicon using the methods of micro-electro-mechanical-systems (MEMS) is considered. The instrument is designed principally for experimental use in the oil industry. The plate is 1.6mm wide, 2.4mm long, and 20μm thick. It is suspended from a 0.4mm thick support by 48 square cross-section legs, each of l...

An experimental investigation has been carried out to determine the applicability of an induction heating process with a travelling induction coil for the rectification of angular welding distortion. The results obtained from experimentation have been used to create artificial neural network models with the ability to predict the welding induced distortion and the distortion rectification achie...

Studying the mechanical behavior of metal cores provides insight into the overall performance of structures comprising metal sandwich plates, and can help immensely in designing metal sandwich plates for specific engineering applications. In this study, the response of folded (corrugated) plate and pyramidal truss cores are explored under both quasistatic and dynamic loadings. In particular, tw...

Survival of a plate against an intense, short duration impulsive loading requires the circumvention of failure modes, including those associated with excessive overall deflection and shear-off at supports and webs. All-metal sandwich plates have distinct advantages over comparable weight monolithic plates, especially for intense water loadings. A recently developed mechanics of dynamically load...
