This paper investigates the buckling of finite isotropic rectangular plates with circular cutout under uniaxial and biaxial loading. The complex potential method is used to calculate the pre-buckling stress distribution around the cutout in the plate with finite dimensions. To satisfy the in-plane boundary conditions, the generalized complex-potential functions are introduced and a new method b...

In this paper the effects of circular and elliptical cutout on the buckling behavior of a sixteen ply quasi-isotropic graphite/epoxy symmetrically laminated rectangular composite plate [0°/+45°/45°/90°]2s, subjected to various linearly varying in-plane compressive loads, numerically. Further, this paper addresses the effects of size of elliptical cutout, orientation of elliptical cutout, plate ...

PURPOSE To calculate the output factor (OPF) of any irregularly shaped electron beam at extended SSD. METHODS Circular cutouts were prepared from 2.0 cm diameter to the maximum possible size for 15 × 15 applicator cone. In addition, two irregular cutouts were prepared. For each cutout, percentage depth dose (PDD) at the standard SSD and doses at different SSD values were measured using 6, 9, ...

In this work, finite element analysis has been done along with experimental test and conducted using numerical tests of the buckling response quasi-static compressive loading six layers woven cross-ply laminated composite material [0º/90º/0º] centrally square circular cutouts. The effect cut-out shape its size a load were obtained experimentally numerically. Compression experiment performed by ...

A comparison of the buckling analysis of the nanoplate and nanocomposite plate with a central square hole embedded in the Winkler foundation is presented in this article. In order to enhance the mechanical properties of the nanoplate with a central cutout, the uniformly distributed carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are applied through the thickness direction. In order to define the shape function of the ...

This paper presents thermal buckling analysis of rectangular functionally graded plates (FG plates) with an eccentrically located elliptic cutout. The plate governing equations derived by the first order shear deformation theory (FSDT) and finite element formulation is developed to analyze the plate behavior subjected to a uniform temperature rise across plate thickness. It is assumed that the ...
