Viscous flow past plates
I devise a numerical method of high order in space (FDMHS) to simulate flow past a finite plate and a semi-infinite plate. The method solves the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation in the stream function-vorticity formulation. The focus is to study a fundamental problem in fluid dynamics, namely, …

Optimum First Failure Loads of Sandwich Plates/Shells and Vibrations of Incompressible Material Plates
… we have numerically analyzed free vibrations of plates made of a linearly elastic incompressible rubber-like material (Poison's ratio = 0.5) by using a TSNDT for incompressible materials and the mixed FEM. The displacements at nodes of a 9-noded quadrilateral element and the hydrostatic pressure …

Postbuckling behavior of rectangular plates
Unlike simple columns, rectangular plates which are supported on all edges may carry considerable load beyond their buckling load. Under some conditions it may be advantageous to utilize this additional load-carrying capacity. Von Karman has presented the basic nonlinear differential equations for …

Sound radiation from perforated plates
Perforated plates are quite often used as a means of engineering noise control to reduce the sound radiated by structures. However, there appears to be a lack of representative models to determine the sound radiation from a perforated plate. The aim of this thesis is to develop such a model that …

Parametric buckling analyses of plates
… in the equation. The method is tested on flat plates of different rectangular, triangular, evolutive trapezoidal shapes and on slightly curved plates with cylindrical geometries. Eighteen (18) different combinations of free, simple and clamped edges boundary conditions were considered. Uniform …

Unsteady aerodynamics of falling plates
We investigate the problem of falling paper by solving the two dimensional Navier-Stokes equations subject to the motion of a free falling body at Reynolds numbers around 10^3, which is typical for a leaf or business card falling in air, and experimentally, by using a quasi two dimensional set up …

Light gage steel folded plates
A light gage steel folded plate model structure was fabricated and tested under a uniform pressure to determine the relative stiffness of this type of structure. Deflections at mid and quarter spans were measured and compared with values determined by a rational method of analysis. A different …

Fatigue Strengthening of Damaged Steel Plates using Ultra-High Modulus Carbon Fibre-reinforced Polymer Plates
… (UHM) carbon-fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates of 460 GPa modulus in extending fatigue life and slowing crack propagation in steel plates with simulated fatigue cracks. The study investigates a range of bond lengths at or below the development length of UHM CFRP for applications where …

An experimental investigation of circular plates, beams and stiffened circular plates subjected to impulsive loading
… series of experiments on fully-clamped circular plates, rectangular beams and stiffened circular plates. These test specimens were subjected to a uniformly distributed impulse. The impulse was provided by plastic explosive. This was arranged in such a way that a uniformly distributed impulse was …
