Abstract: We numerically analyze, with the finite element method, free vibrations of incompressible rectangular plates under different boundary conditions with a third-order shear and normal deformable theory (TSNDT) derived by ...

Abstract: Based on the classical plate theory (CPT), we derive scaling factors between solutions of bending, buckling and free vibration of isotropic functionally graded material (FGM) thin plates and those of the corresponding ...

Abstract: The restriction of deformations to a subregion of a system undergoing either free or forced vibration due to an irregularity or discontinuity in it is called mode localization. Here, we study mode localization in free and ...

Abstract: A cohesive zone modeling (CZM) approach with a bilinear traction-separation relation is used to study the peeling of a thin overhanging plate from the edge of an incompressible elastomeric layer bonded firmly to a stationary ...
