Given a parametrised measure and a family of continuous functions (<pn), we construct a sequence of functions (uk) such that, as fc-> co, the functions fn(uk) converge to the corresponding moments of the measure, in the ...

Free vibration of super elliptical plates with constant and variable thickness by Ritz method has been reported. the shape of the plate in the x y plane can be defined by the super elliptical function. Calculating the area ...

This paper presents a simple and general variational approach for the study of the free vibration behaviour of polygonal isotropic plates with variable thickness. The Reissner-Mindlin plate theory is used to take into ...

When describing the mechanical behaviour of the lithosphere modelled as a thin plate, the most important parameter corresponds to its flexural rigidity, which is commonly expressed through the effective elastic thickness, ...

The mechanical behavior of advanced composites can be modeled mathematically through unknown variables and Shear Strain Thickness Functions (SSTFs). Such SSTFs can be of polynomial or non-polynomial nature and some parameters ...

It is well known that fatigue behaviour is an important parameter to be considered in mechanical components subjected to constant and variable amplitude loadings. In combination with corrosion phenomenon, fatigue effects ...

The purpose of chromium plating is the creation of a hard and wear-resistant layer of chromium over a metallic surface. The principal feature of chromium plating is its endurance in the face of the wear and corrosion. This ...
