Abstract: This paper presents exact solutions for buckling of multispan rectangular plates having two opposite edges simply supported and the other two edges being either free, simply supported, or clamped. The Levy solution procedure ...

Abstract: This paper presents the first-known exact solutions for vibration of open circular cylindrical shells with multiple stepwise thickness variations based on the Flügge thin shell theory. An open cylindrical shell is assumed ...

Abstract: This paper presents the first-known exact solutions for the vibration of multi-span rectangular Mindlin plates with two opposite edges simply supported. The Levy type solution method and the ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the buckling and vibration of heavy standing plates with rotational elastic edge constraints. The discrete singular convolution (DSC) method as a powerful numerical technique ...

Abstract: This study presents a relationship between the buckling loads of sectorial plates based on the Kirchhoff (or classical thin) plate theory and the Mindlin plate theory. Whereas the former plate theory neglects the effect ...

Abstract: The first known investigation on the problem of free vibration of symmetric cross-ply laminated plates having elastically restrained edges is considered. The Ritz method is used in combination with a variational formulation ...

Abstract: This paper presents relationships between the buckling loads determined using classical Kirchhoff plate theory and shear deformable plate theories. The latter theories considered are the first-order shear deformation plate ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the elastic buckling of rectangular plates subjected to both intermediate and end uniaxial loads. The rectangular plates have two simply supported opposite edges that are perpendicular to the ...

Abstract: Presented herein are the exact axisymmetric buckling solutions of Reddy circular plates on the Pasternak foundation and subjected to a uniform radial load. The boundary conditions of the circular plates covered in this ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the free vibration of thick sector plates with different supporting edge conditions. The Rayleigh‐Ritz procedure is used in the energy functional, which includes the effect of shear deformation and ...
