Abstract: An efficient six-noded triangular element based on refined plate theory is developed for the analysis of sandwich plates with stiff laminated face sheets and it is applied to a free vibration problem in this paper. The ...

Abstract: The bending response of sandwich plates with stiff laminated face sheets is studied by a six-noded triangular element having seven degrees of freedom at each node. The element formulation is based on a refined higher-order ...

Abstract: A straightforward analysis involving Fourier cosine transforms and the theory of Fourier series is presented for the approximate calculation of the hydrodynamic pressure exerted on the vertical upstream face of a dam due ...

Abstract: The problem involving mitigation of wave energy by trench-type structure, in particular, a pair of trenches imposed on the seabed in the absence and presence of a vertical wall, is examined for its solution. The problem ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the free out of plane vibration of a rotating nonhomogeneous beam with nonlinear spring and mass system. The effect of nonhomogeneity of the beam appears both in the ...

Abstract: This article presents a concise overview on condition monitoring and retrofitting/strengthening of structures, including a practical case study of strengthening for an existing historical building. Condition assessment of ...
