this study presents exact bending solution of fully clamped orthotropic rectangular plates subjected to arbitrary loads resting on elastic foundations, based on the finite integral transform method. in this method, it is not necessary to determine the deformation function because the basic governing equations of the classical plate theory for orthotropic plates have been used. a detailed parame...

This study explored the free vibration problem in relation to glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) plates with central cutouts and free boundaries using theoretical, experimental, and numerical methods. The theoretical formulations were derived from the classical lamination plate theory. The rectangular cutout was mathematically modeled into the stiffness matrix of the plate by multiplying Hea...

A new two-eigenfunctions theory, using the amplitude deflection and the generalized curvature as two fundamental eigenfunctions, is proposed for the free vibration solutions of a rectangular Mindlin plate. The three classical eigenvalue differential equations of a Mindlin plate are reformulated to arrive at two new eigenvalue differential equations for the proposed theory. The closed form eigen...

topological analysis has been performed on the total electron density of the two forms of ozonemolecule,c2v and d3h ,to investigate the nature of chemical bonds ,molecular structure , atomiccharges and electrical properties. while these concepts have been completely discussed usingclassical models the emphasize in this work is based on quantum theory of atoms in molecules(qtaim). because the d3...

Stress laminated timber bridge deck technology has been established in Australia since 1991, resulting in the construction of over 40 prototype bridges. This paper presents an overview of the R&D undertaken to implement this technology, involving laboratory testing and field application of plate decks spanning up to 9m and high capacity cellular decks spanning 12m, with the potential to span up...

We use the Eshelby±Stroh formalism to analyze the generalized plane strain quasistatic deformations of an anisotropic, linear elastic laminated plate. The laminate consists of homogeneous laminae of arbitrary thicknesses. Computed results are presented for three sample problems to illustrate the e€ect of boundary conditions and of the span to height ratio. # 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All right...
