The branching of un,symmetric equilibrium states from axisymmetric equilibrium states for clamped circular plates subjected to a uniform edge thrust and a uniform lateral pressure is analyzed in this paper. The branching process is called wrinkling and the loads at which branching occurs are called wrinkling loads. The nonlinear von Karman plate theory is employed. The wrinkling loads are deter...

Theoretical calculations, computer simulations, and experiments indicate the possible existence of a ferromagnetic liquid state, although definitive experimental evidence is lacking. Should such a state exist, demagnetization effects would force a nontrivial magnetization texture. Since liquid droplets are deformable, the droplet shape is coupled with the magnetization texture. In a thin-film g...

Abstract Background In order to design thin-walled components it is necessary consider the presence of holes and their effects. For high performance composite structures, this still an issue, since usually only coupons are used in experimental observations influence free edges hole affects fatigue behavior mutually. Objective This work aims find, through trials, empirical model that can be desc...

This study presents the effect of vertical and horizontal oriented cracks on free vibration response for circular annular thin plates. To investigate dynamic behavior damaged structures are modeled separately considering horizontal/vertical orientations, ten different locations, four crack sizes. For plates, placed in middle between outer inner edges to directions. The first five resonant frequ...

assessing the behavior of composite structures which are subjected to impact loads is one of the important subjects in the field of mechanical sciences. using thin-walled tubes which collapsed and absorbed the impact energy is a well-known method to prevent damages to the other parts of the structures. in this paper, deformations, crushing length, peak load, mean force and energy absorption cap...

Thin plate structures are more widely used in many engineering applications as one of the structural members. Generally, buckling strength of thin shell structures is the ultimate load carrying capacity of these structures. The presence of cracks in a thin shell structure can considerably affect its load carrying capacity. Hence, in this work, static buckling strength of a thin square plate wit...
