Thin rectangular plates are considered basic structures in various sectors like aerospace, civil, and mechanical engineering. Moreover, isotropic and laminated composite plates subjected to transverse normal loading and undergoing small and large deflections have been extensively studied and published in the…

An efficient numerical approach utilizing a variational weak form, grounded in 2D elastic theory and variational principles, is proposed for analyzing the in-plane vibrational behavior of rectangular plates resting on elastically restrained boundaries. The differential and integral operators can be discretized into…

Steel plates with openings are among the important ship structural components used in the ship’s hull to withstand the hydrostatic forces of the ocean, which cause sagging and hogging moments at the ship’s bottom. The existence of openings on plates can cause structural rupture, stress concentration and a decrease in…

A formulation of the asymptotically exact first-order shear deformation theory for linear-elastic homogeneous plates in the rescaled coordinates and rotation angles is considered. This allows the development of its asymptotically accurate and shear-locking-free finite element implementation. As applications, numerical…

'Szymon Wojciechowski'] Thin-walled plates subjected to transverse loading undergoing large deflection have been the topic of a large number of studies. However, there is still a lack of information about the nature and the distribution membrane stresses generated under large deflections. The purpose of this paper is…

Growth-induced instabilities are ubiquitous in biological systems and lead to diverse morphologies in the form of wrinkling, folding, and creasing. The current work focusses on the mechanics behind growth-induced wrinkling instabilities in an incompressible annular hyperelastic plate. The governing differential…

'Xinran Zheng' 'Tinh Quoc Bui' 'Rui Li'] This work reports new analytic free in-plane vibration solutions for orthotropic non-Lévy-type rectangular plates, i.e., those without two opposite edges simply supported, by the symplectic superposition method (SSM), which has never been applied to in-plane elasticity problems…

The main purpose of the present paper is to compare two different kinds of approaches in modeling the deck of a suspension bridge: in the first approach we look at the deck as a rectangular plate and in the second one we look at the deck as a beam for vertical deflections and as a rod for torsional deformations.…

This paper proposes an efficient semi-analytical method using auxiliary sine series for transverse vibration and sound radiation of a thin rectangular plate with edges elastically restrained against translation and rotation. The formulation, constructed by two-dimensional sine and/or cosine series, can approximately…

Multiple competing factors are forcing aircraft designers to reconsider the underwing engine pod configuration typically seen on most modern commercial aircraft. One notable concern is increasing environmental regulations on noise emitted by aircraft. In an attempt to satisfy these constraints while maintaining or…

Piezoelectric plates, which become electrically polarised in response to bending, have recently been proposed for water wave energy conversion. However, piezoelectric materials (e.g. Polyvinylidene Fluoride) can be anisotropic, which makes them challenging to model in three dimensions. This paper considers the simpler…

In transmission electron microscopy (TEM) cameras are square or rectangular but beams are round. With a beam size chosen to fill the camera at a given image magnification, the circular lobes of the beam will extend beyond the camera’s field of view and irradiate areas that are not acquired on the camera, damaging and…

Microplates are indispensable in large-scale biomedical experiments but the physical location of samples and controls on the microplate can significantly affect the resulting data and quality metric values. We introduce a new method based on constraint programming for designing microplate layouts that reduces unwanted…

Recent advancements in high-throughput screening have focused on using multi-parametric readouts to characterize drug compound effects. While high-content imaging is commonly used, it only captures endpoint images of fixed cells. Here, we report a semiconductor 96-microplate platform which performs real-time…

This study investigates the impact of channel geometry and applied flow on the morphology and function of endothelial cells (ECs) within vessel-on-chip (VoC) models. Traditional organ-on-chip models often utilize rectangular cross-section channels, resulting in flat walls, sharp corners, and non-uniform wall shear…
