Upper and lower bounds for the fundamental eigenvalue (frequency) of a simply supported rectangular plate with linearly varying thickness are given for several taper ratios and plan geometries. These bounds were determined using a previously published method which yields convergent bounds. In the present study, all results have been obtained to within 0.5 percent maximum possible error.

This work studied the critical load analysis of rectangular plates, carrying uniformly distributed loads utilizing direct variational energy calculus. The aim of this study is to establish the techniques for calculating the critical lateral imposed loads of the plate before deflection attains the specified maximum threshold, qiw as well as its corresponding critical lateral imposed load before the plate reaches an elastic yield point. The formulated potential energy by the static elastic theory of the plate was minimized to get the shear deformation and coefficient of deflection. The plates under consideration are clamped at the first and second edges, free of support at the third edge and simply supported at the fourth edge (CCFS). From the numerical analysis obtained, it is found that the critical lateral imposed loads (qiw and qip) increase as the thickness (t) of plate increases, and decrease as the length to width ratio increases. This suggests that as the thickness increases, the allowable deflection improves the safety of the plate, whereas an increase in the span (length) of the plate increases the failure tendency of the plate structure.

Upper and lower bounds for the eigenvalues of uniform simply supported beams carrying uniformly distributed axial load and constant end load are obtained. The upper bounds were calculated by the Rayleigh-Ritz method, and the lower bounds by a method due to Bazley and Fox. Some results are given in terms of two loading parameters. In most cases the gap between the bounds over their average is less than 1 per cent, except for values of the loading parameters corresponding to the beam near buckling. The results are compared with the eigenvalues of the same beam carrying half of the distributed load lumped at each end. The errors made in the lumping process are very large when the distributed load and the end load are of opposite signs. The results also indicate that the Rayleigh-Ritz upper bounds computed with the eigenfunctions of the unloaded beam as co-ordinate functions are quite accurate.

Production rate limits for perforated casing completions in weak rock formations are estimated for a material obeying a quadratic yield condition. Plastic stresses around a spherical cavity are calculated to determine the well pressure value which precipitates solids production. Elastic solutions for a cylindrical cavity are utilized to place upper and lower bounds on the well pressure value which initiates yielding around a perforated casing. The separate analyses define consistent critical well pressure values for initial yield and solids production as a function of rock properties and in-situ conditions.

The effect of the interface slip is neglected in most studies on calculating deflection of sandwich beams. By taking a simply supported sandwich beams under uniformly distributed loads as an example, simplified analytical models of the interface slip are established, and corresponding clculation formulas of interface slip between steel panels and concrete and section curvatures are derived. The formula for deflection of sandwich beams are then presented. This formula reflects the relationship of influence each other between the interface slip and deflection.

The generalized distance matrix D α ( G ) of a connected graph G is defined as D α ( G ) = α T r ( G ) + ( 1 − α ) D ( G ) , where 0 ≤ α ≤ 1 , D ( G ) is the distance matrix and T r ( G ) is the diagonal matrix of the node transmissions. In this paper, we extend the concept of energy to the generalized distance matrix and define the generalized distance energy E D α ( G ) . Some new upper and lower bounds for the generalized distance energy E D α ( G ) of G are established based on parameters including the Wiener index W ( G ) and the transmission degrees. Extremal graphs attaining these bounds are identified. It is found that the complete graph has the minimum generalized distance energy among all connected graphs, while the minimum is attained by the star graph among trees of order n.

Abstract The main aim of this paper is to establish some Fejér-type inequalities involving hypergeometric functions in terms of GA-s-convexity. For this purpose, we construct a Hadamard k-fractional identity related to geometrically symmetric mappings. Moreover, we give the upper and lower bounds for the weighted inequalities via products of two different mappings. Some applications of the presented results to special means are also provided.
