in this paper, the free vibration response of a laminated composite rectangularplate supporting a rotating circular patch mass is studied. the two variable refined platetheory that employs only two unknown functions as against three in the case of simpleshear deformation theory is applied to define the third order displacement field of acomposite rectangular plate. the plate is considered to ha...

An investigation into the dynamic characterisation of a rectangular flexible plate structure is presented and a simulation algorithm characterising the behaviour of the plate is developed using finite difference methods. A thin, rectangular plate, with all edges clamped, is considered. The investigation is accomplished by varying the width over the length ratio of the plate. The algorithm is im...

The effect of a distributed patch mass on the natural frequency of vibration of a laminated rectangular plate with simply supported boundaries is investigated. The third order displacement field of a composite laminated rectangular plate is defined using the two variable refined plate theory. Equations of motion of the plate are obtained with the help of calculus of variation. Parametric study ...

In this study, free vibration of functionally graded rectangular plates for various types of boundary conditions has been presented . The properties of the plate are assumed as power- law form along the thickness direction , while poisson's ratio is kept constant. the linear vibration equations of functionally graded rectangular plates are derived based on first order shear deformation theory b...

In this study, the analysis of transverse vibrations of rectangular plate with circular central hole with different boundary conditions is studied and the natural frequencies and natural modes of a rectangular plate with circular hole have been obtained. To solve the problem, it is necessary to use both Cartesian and polar coordinate system. The complexity of the method is to apply an appropria...

Problem statement: Rectangular steel plates are widely used in various steel structures and steel industries. For a proper design of steel plate structures and efficient use of material, the behavior, strength, buckling and post-buckling characteristics of plates should be accurately determined. Approach: Considering the significance of this matter, lateral vibration of thick rectangular plates...

In order to accurately detect the various sizes of vehicle license plates which are included in input image, we introduce hierarchical approach and overlapped partitioning technique in this paper. The proposed approach firstly attempts the license plate detection for entire image. If detection is failed, the image is partitioned into 3 overlapped rectangular areas and the license plate detectio...

Pb(In1/2Nb1/2)O3–Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3–PbTiO3 (PIN–PMN–PT) piezoelectric single-crystal rectangular beams with the PIN:PMN:PT ratio of 0.33:0.35:0.32 are prepared, and their mode-coupling effect is investigated both theoretically and experimentally for ultrasonic array transducer applications. The PIN–PMN–PT rectangular beams become a tall-narrow beam and a short-wide plate, and so exhibiting an unc...

Automatic Skew Detection and Localization of Vehicle License Plate Using Hough Transform are used to identify a vehicle by its number plate. The proposed algorithm consists of three major parts: Extraction of plate region, segmentation of characters and recognition of plate characters. The proposed license plate localization algorithm is based on a combination of several algorithms that include...
