This paper presents a method to identify wave equations’ parameters using dispersion characteristics (k-space) on two-dimensional domains. The proposed approach uses the minimization of difference an analytic formulation relation wavenumbers calculated from solution fields. implementation partial differential equations (PDE) resolution finite element software is explained and tested with soluti...

in the current study, the effects of interactions of the moving loads and the attached mass-spring-damper systems of the composite plates on the resulting dynamic responses are investigated comprehensively, for the first time, using the classical plate theory. the solution of the coupled governing system of equations is accomplished through tracing the spatial variations using a navier-type sol...

Laminated composite plates are widely used in modern structures. Resins of composites are almost made of polymers which show time dependent and and in some cases stress dependent behaviour. In this paper, a laminated composite plate is analysed using a multiscale method. At first, material properties of a lamina is obtained using an analytical micromechanical approach called simplified unit cel...

BACKGROUND The UK Eatwell Plate is consumer based advice recommending the proportions of five food groups for a balanced diet: starchy foods, fruit and vegetables, dairy foods, nondairy sources of protein and foods and drinks high in fat or sugar. Many foods comprise ingredients from several food groups and consumers need to consider how these fit with the proportions of the Eatwell Plate. This...

The use of composite laminate materials has increased rapidly in recent years due to their excellent strength to weight ratio and resistance to corrosion. In the construction of marine vessels, stiffened plates are the most commonly used structural elements, forming the deck, bottom hull, side shells and bulkheads. This paper presents the use of a stochastic approach to the design of stiffened ...

In this paper, deformations of a laminated composite plate due to mechanical loads are presented. Third order shear deformation theory of plates, which is categorized in equivalent single layer theories, is used to derive linear dynamic equations of a rectangular multi-layered composite plate. Moreover, derivation of equations for FEM and numerical solutions for displacements and stress distrib...

Reinforced concrete (RC) as a material is most commonly used for buildings construction. Several floor systems are available following the structural and architectural requirements. The current research study provides cost input energy comparisons of RC office different systems. Conventional solid, ribbed, flat plate slab considered in study. Building models three-dimensional using extended ana...

In this paper, nonlinear behavior of strengthened steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) by FRP laminates theoretically and numerically has been investigated. In the first part, a new method, “the composite-plate frame Interaction (C-PFI) method”, has been introduced to predict the shear behavior of the composite steel plate shear wall systems (CSPSWs). In the second part, several models of one-story ...
