Time period of natural transverse vibration of a nonhomogeneous skew (parallelogram) plate with variable thickness and temperature field has been investigated on clamped CCCC and combination of clamped and simply supported CSCS edge conditions. The thickness variation on the plate is assumed to be linear in two dimensions, and the temperature variation on the plate is considered to be parabolic in two dimensions. For nonhomogeneity, authors considered circular variation in density. The Rayleigh–Ritz technique is applied to solve the differential equation of motion. A comparative analysis of frequency modes of the present study with the available published result is also given to support the present findings. The convergence study of obtained results is also presented with the help of figures.

Stiffened skew plates find application in various engineering fields. The free vibration characteristics of such plates have been studied by various methods. An orthogonally stiffened skew plate is a skew plate with stiffeners running orthogonal to two opposite edges. To the best knowledge of the present investigators, no previous work has been done for free vibration characteristics of skew plates of such stiffening geometry. The present work studies the free vibration of such plates. The pb-2 Rayleigh–Ritz method was employed due to its accuracy and computational efficiency. The conventional finite element method was also used as a comparative check. A convergence study was first performed for various boundary conditions. Then the vibration of orthogonally stiffened skew plates with different boundary conditions was studied. Close agreement was found between these two methods. The variations of natural frequencies with different parameters, including skew angle ϕ, edge ratio b/a, and height-thickness ratio f/h, were investigated for three types of boundary conditions.

Abstract Mathematical model to account for non-homogeneity of plate material is designed, keeping in mind all the physical aspects, and analyzed by applying quintic spline technique for the first time. This method has been applied earlier for other geometry of plates which shows its utility. Accuracy and versatility of the technique are established by comparing with the well-known existing results. Effect of quadratic thickness variation, an exponential variation of non-homogeneity in the radial direction, and variation in density; for the three different outer edge conditions namely clamped, simply supported and free have been computed using MATLAB for the first three modes of vibration. For all the three edge conditions, normalized transverse displacements for a specific plate have been presented which shows the shiftness of nodal radii with the effect of taperness.

Abstract. There will be a change in the Earth's local sub-surface thermal structure before and/or after an earthquake. In this work we have introduced a new parameter (I) which relates integral effect of temperature variation and seismic activity. This parameter in its various forms integrates the temperature variations during one year before and after earthquake. Some recent earthquakes are chosen throughout Iran on Alps-Himalayas fault zone with magnitudes 4.5 and more. Subsurface temperatures up to one meter depth measured in nearby weather stations are used as there is no deeper data available. We found the new defined parameter (I) has a direct relation with earthquakes magnitude (M) and reverse relation with distance (d) between earthquake focus and station in which temperature is measured. Suitable formulas for these relations are suggested regarding the magnitude ranges and time period with respect to the earthquake time. There may be a way to use this new parameter as a quake precursor.

VERA is a suite of multiphysics codes which uses MPACT to model neutron transport in light water reactors (LWRs) [1]. In this paper, we validate MPACT by modeling critical experiments conducted at the IPEN/MB-01 and B&W facilities. We modeled critical loading experiments with a variety of different fuel pins and materials placed in the core. The experiments were modeled in two dimensions using MPACT and an axial buckling term. Default mesh parameters exist in MPACT for modeling larger reactor cores, and a mesh convergence study was performed to find appropriate mesh parameters for modeling the smaller critical reactors. The keff results show a consistent bias and small standard deviation for the IPEN/MB-01 reactor and a small bias and small standard deviation for the B&W facility. Overall, the results show that MPACT performs well for modeling small critical reactors.

The analysis presented here is to study the effect of thermal gradient on the vibration of visco-elastic rectangular plate (having clamped boundary condition on all the four edges) of variable thickness whose thickness varies parabolically in both directions. The effect of linear temperature variation has been considered. A frequency equation of plate has been obtained by Rayleigh-Ritz technique with two terms of deflection function. The assumption of small deflection and linear visco-elastic properties of ‘Kelvin’ type are taken. Deflection and time period corresponding to the first two modes of vibrations for clamped plate have been computed for various combinations of aspect ratio, thermal constants, and taper constants. Numerical computations have been performed for an alloy ‘Duralium’ and the results obtained are depicted graphically.

A number of issues related to composite structure analysis of variants of insoles, commonly used for getting comfortable wearing or improvement of posture deficiencies are presented in this research paper. In the first part of a paper some variants of biomechanical system consisting of composite structures - namely foot and insoles variants undergo analysis are presented and analyzed. This study aims to determine how these insoles react to the effect of temperature and humidity parameters during different time period. In the second part of the paper the experimental system and how to choose the group of samples analyzed are presented. The results and conclusions obtained from this study and the establishing the structural changes, evidenced by microscopic analysis are analyzed in the final part of the paper.
