background current teaching suggests increased perfusion in free transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (tram) flaps over pedicled tram flaps, broadening indications for its use in high risk patients. this study compared perfusion analysis of free muscle-sparing versus pedicle tram flaps in vivo in the peri-operative and late post-operative periods. methods the spy-elite system using indocyan...

In this study, a semi analytical method for transverse and axial vibration of single-walled boron nitride nanotube (SWBNNT) under moving a nanoparticle is presented. The surrounding elastic medium as Pasternak foundation and surface stress effect are included in the formulations of the proposed model. Using Timoshenko beam theory (TBT), Hamilton’s principle and nonlocal piezoelasticity theory, ...

This article deals with the free vibration analysis and determination of the seismic parameters of a sloping-frame which consists of three members; a horizontal, a vertical, and an inclined member. The both ends of the frame are clamped, and the members are rigidly connected at joint points. The individual members of the frame are assumed to be governed by the transverse vibration theory of an ...

This paper presents a solution to the boundary stabilization of a symmetric composite laminated plate in free transverse vibration. The symmetric composite laminated plate dynamics is presented by a linear fourth order partial differential equation (PDE). A linear control law is constructed to stabilize the plate. The control force consists of feedback of the velocity at the boundary of the pla...

in the present paper, the modal analysis on a full finite element model of an off-road vehicle. this vehicle was modeled in the catia software and then meshed in the hypermesh software. the free vibration analysis was conducted by the abaqus software. by applying an external displacement, the forced vibration analysis was also performed. as a result, natural frequencies and shape modes were ext...

Based on Timoshenko laminated beam models, this paper investigates the influence of initial stress on the vibration and transverse wave propagation in individual multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) under ultrahigh frequency (above 1 THz), in which the initial stress in the MWNTs can occur due to thermal or lattice mismatch between different materials. Considering van der Waals force interaction...

In this paper, transverse vibrations of thin circular plates with guided edge and resting on Winkler foundation have been studied on the basis of Classical Plate Theory. Parametric investigations on the vibration of circular plates resting on elastic foundation have been carried out with respect to various foundation stiffness parameters. Twelve vibration modes are presented. The location of th...

This paper describes the application of refined plate theory to investigate free vibration and buckling analyses of functionally graded nanocomposite plates reinforced by aggregated carbon nanotube (CNT). The refined shear deformation plate theory (RSDT) uses four independent unknowns and accounts for a quadratic variation of the transverse shear strains across the thickness, satisfying the zer...
