Composite materials are used in aeronautical, automobile, healthcare and marine industries due to their high stiffness, higher strength-to-weight ratio long fatigue life. Thin plate plays vital role manufacturing of engineering structures. Components made from composite often subjected damage while working. Buckling can cause loss stability component which subsequently leads failure the entire ...

This paper proposes a new general framework of higher-order shear deformation theory (HSDT) and solves the structural responses functionally graded (FG) plates using novel exponential shape functions for Ritz method. Based on fundamental equations elasticity theory, displacement field is expanded in unified form which can recover to many different plate theories such as zeroth-order third-order...

this work presents free vibration analysis of laminated rectangular plates with classical boundary conditions based on the classical plate theory (cpt). the first involves an s-fgm plate with different boundary conditions. then involves a two-layer plate in which an s-fgm layer is coated on a homogeneous substrate with classical boundary conditions, simply called an s-fgm-coated plate; the othe...

In this paper we present a proposal to solve the problem of license plate recognition using a three layer fuzzy neural network. In the first stage the plate is detected inside the digital image using rectangular perimeter detection and the finding of a pattern by pattern matching, after that, the characters are extracted from the plate by means of horizontal and vertical projections. Finally, a...

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...

We use the principle of virtual work to derive a higher-order shear and normal deformable theory for a plate comprised of a linear elastic incompressible anisotropic material. The theory does not use a shear correction factor and employs three components of displacement and the hydrostatic pressure as independent variables. For a Kth order plate theory, a set of 4ðK þ 1Þ coupled equations need ...

An analytical solution for a sandwich circular FGM plate coupled with piezoelectric layers under one-dimension heat conduction is presented in this paper. A nonlinear static problem is solved first to determine the initial stress state and pre-vibration deformations. By adding an incremental dynamic state to the pre-vibration state, the differential equations are derived. The role of thermal en...

Abstract An investigation of dynamic behaviors a sandwich plate containing an imperfect two dimensional functionally graded (2D-FG) core surrounded by faces on two-parameter elastic foundation and subjected to moving load is carried out in this paper. The present solid composed porous 2D-FG covered homogenous layers. It assumed that the middle layer has micro voids dispersed uniformly unevenly ...

introduction: hydrocolloids are widely used in food systems as an emulsifying or stabilizing agent. one way to improve the emulsifying properties of hydrocolloids is complexation with proteins. in general, protein and hydrocolloid components may be combined together by either a) covalent bonding (conjugates) or b) electrostatic complexing. conjugates can be efficiently prepared during the stora...
