Thickness-twist waves in piezoelectric plates are widely used as the operating modes for acoustic wave resonators, filters, sensors, and other devices (Mindlin, 1965; Mindlin, 1967; Pearman, 1968; Bleustein, 1966; Bleustein, 1969; Yang et al., 2008a; Yang & Guo, 2006). Acoustic waves in these devices are driven by an alternating voltage applied to the electrodes deposited on the plates. Therefo...

conclusions the use of variable-angle locking plates in treating unstable distal end radius fractures is associated with excellent to good functional outcomes with minimal complications. objectives this study aimed to evaluate the functional and radiological outcomes in unstable distal end radius fractures treated with variable-angle locking plates. patients and methods we reviewed 23 unstable ...

The bending analysis of moderately thick elliptic plates weakened by an eccentric circular hole has been investigated in this article. The nonlinear governing equations have been presented by considering the von-Karman assumptions and the first-order shear deformation theory in cylindrical coordinates system. Semi-analytical polynomial method (SAPM) which had been presented by the author before...
