This study investigates natural frequency analysis of an FG composite rectangular plate partially contacting with a bounded fluid. The material properties are assumed to be varying continuously through the thickness direction according to a simple power law distribution in terms of volume fraction of material constituents. Wet dynamic transverse displacements of the plate are approximated by a ...

This article contains derivation of propagation factors and Fourier series for harmonically time varying, traveling electromagnetic fields in a plate and a laminate with rectangular cross sections, isotropic materials and infinite length. Different and quite general fields are taken into account on all boundaries. Choices of boundary conditions and continuity conditions are discussed. Certain c...

Exact expressions for three-dimensional potential and force field due to uniform singularity distributed on a finite flat rectangular surface have been presented. The expressions, valid throughout the physical domain, have been found to be consistent with other expressions available as special cases of the same problem. Very accurate estimates of the capacitance of a unit square plate and a uni...

A new layered 4-node, 24-degrees of freedom rectangular composite plate element is developed in this paper for nonlinear finite element analyses of FRP-strengthened RC slabs. The layered approach is used to form an integrated plate element for modelling of concrete, FRP, adhesive layer and steel reinforcement with a perfect bond assumption between each layer. Timoshenko’s composite beam functio...

This paper discusses the buckling stability of elastic thin plates, deduces critical load calculation formula in detail, calculates simply supported rectangular plates using energy method, and analyzes longitudinal finite element software ANSYS. The results show that analysis can not only solve engineering problem plate quickly, but also accuracy is reliable.
