Fabrication of nano-structured materials has been developed by performing pulsed laser ablation of copper, gold, and silver plates in supercritical CO2. The metal nano-structured particles were successfully generated with allowing the selective generation of clusters. Laser ablation was performed with an excitation wavelength of 532 nm. On the basis of the experimental result, both surface of a...

The bending analysis of moderately thick elliptic plates weakened by an eccentric circular hole has been investigated in this article. The nonlinear governing equations have been presented by considering the von-Karman assumptions and the first-order shear deformation theory in cylindrical coordinates system. Semi-analytical polynomial method (SAPM) which had been presented by the author before...

Four corner arthrodesis is an accepted salvage operation for scapholunate advanced collapse and scaphoid non-union advanced collapse. Circular plates were introduced in 1999 and promoted as a rapid and more stable method for this procedure. A retrospective chart review was performed on all patients who were treated with the Spider Limited Wrist Fusion Plate (Kinetikos Medical Inc., San Diego, C...

The mathematical modeling and finite element analysis of solid circular plates, analyzed using continuum elements under conditions axisymmetry, is investigated in this paper. Both isotropic anisotropic material characterizations are considered. Once a suitable “baseline” model developed, parametric analyses performed so as to gain insight into the behavior plates.

This study is the first report of numerical solution of nonlinear bending analysis for annular and circular plates based on 3D elasticity theory with asymmetric boundary conditions using semi-analytical polynomial method (SAPM). Orthotropic annular and circular plates are subjected to transverse loading and 3D bending analysis in the presence of symmetric and asymmetric boundary conditions is s...
