In this work, the quasi-3D hyperbolic shear deformation theory (quasi-3D HSDT) is utilized to examine dynamics of thick rectangular plates reinforced with nanofillers known as graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs). Agglomeration GNPs incorporated and mechanical characteristics like shear, elastic, bulk moduli, Poisson's ratio, density are analysed according mixture along Eshelby-Mori-Tanaka approach. H...

The present study introduces a generalized 2-unknown’s higher order shear deformation theory (HSDT) for isotropic and orthotropic plates. The well-known Shimpi’s two-unknown's HSDT is reproduced as a special case. Reddy’s shear strain shape function (SSSF) is also adapted to the present generalized theory. The results show that both Shimpi and the adapted Reddy’ HSDT are essentially the same, i...

In this article, the application of an artificial neural network (ANN)-based machine learning (ML) strategy to predict coupled frequency geometrically skewed multiphase magnetoelectric (MME) composite plate exposed hygrothermal environment is presented. The ANN model trained using a dataset comprising more than one million simulations conducted in-house developed finite element formulation. und...

Free vibration of laminated composite shells with cutouts are presented by a nine noded curved C0 finite element (FE) formulation developed by authors based on higher order shear deformation theory (HSDT) using Sander's approximations. The proposed model satisfies parabolic distribution of transverse shear strains through the shell thickness and zero transverse shear stress conditions at shell ...

abstract: there is always a need to increase a distillate output of solar still. if plates will be used inside solar still then distillate output of solar still are expected to increase. hence, an experimental study is conducted to improve distillate output of basin solar stills by increasing the effective surface area with the help of different plates. for the purpose of experiment, three sola...
