Abstract This paper presents an exact solution in terms of infinite series of the problem of buckling by compressive forces in one direction of a rectangular plate with built-in edges (zero slope, zero displacement in the direction normal to the plane of the plate). The buckling load is calculated for 14 ratios of length to width, ranging in steps of 0.25 from 0.75 to 4. On the basis of convergence, as the number of terms used in the infinite series is increased, it is estimated that the possible error in the numerical results presented is of the order of 0.1 per cent. A comparison is given with the work of other authors.

According to reciprocal-theorem method (RTM), the deflection equations of thick rectangular plate with two edges simply supported and two edges free under concentrated load are obtained in this paper. Simultaneously through the programming computation, the numerical results with actual value are obtained, which further showed the accuracy and superiority of RTM to solve the bending of thick rectangular plates.

To consider the deformation of thin rectangular plate under temperature. In this paper, the wavelet multi-scale method was used to solve the thin plate governing differential equations with four different initial or boundary conditions. An operational matrix of integration based on the wavelet was established and the procedure for applying the matrix to solve the differential equations was formulated, and got the deflection of thin rectangular plates under temperature. The result provides a theoretical reference for solving thin rectangular plate deflection in thermal environment using multi-scale approach.

SummaryThe paper presents a solution of the non-linear problem of the deformation of slender rectangular plates which are stiffened along their edges by elastically compressible stiffeners flexible in the plane of the plate. The webplate is assumed to be simply-supported along its contour. Numerical results showing the effect of flexural and normal rigidity of stiffeners are given for a square webplate loaded by shear and compression.

Post-buckling behaviors of laminated composite and isotropic rectangular plates subjected to various thermal changes are studied. Geometric imperfections are taken into account since they play a fundamental role. The plate is modeled using a nonlinear, higher order shear deformation theory. Plates with clamped edges are considered. A pseudo-arc length continuation method is used to obtain numerical results. Laboratory experiments have been performed in order to compare to the numerical calculations.

Using a complete set of displacement potential functions, the exact solution of three-dimensional elasticity equations of a simply supported rectangular plates with constant thickness consisting of a transversely isotropic linearly elastic material subjected to an arbitrary static load is presented. The governing partial differential equations for the potential functions are solved through the use of the Fourier method, which results in exponential and trigonometric expression along the plate thickness and the other two lengths respectively. The displacements, stresses, and internal forces are determined through the potential functions at any point of the body. To prove the validity of this approach, the analytical solutions developed in this paper are degenerated for the simpler case of plates containing isotropic material and compared with the existing solution. In addition, the numerical results obtained from this study are compared with those reported in other researches for the isotropic material, where excellent agreement is achieved for both thin and thick plates. The results show that increasing the thickness ratios of the plate causes compressive axial forces and central shear forces inside the plate. Finally, the internal forces and displacement components are calculated numerically for several kinds of transversely isotropic materials with different anisotropies and are compared with a finite element (FE) solution obtained from the ANSYS software, where the high accuracy of the present method is demonstrated. The effects of the material anisotropy are clearly revealed in the numerical results presented.

Cilia on the surface of ciliated cells in the respiratory system are organelles that beat forward and backward to generate metachronal waves to propel mucus out of lungs. The layer that contains the cilia, coating the interior epithelial surface of the bronchi and bronchiolesis, is called the periciliary layer (PCL). With fluid nourishment, cilia can move efficiently. The fluid in this region is named the PCL fluid and is considered to be an incompressible, viscous, Newtonian fluid. We propose there to be a free boundary at the tips of cilia underlining a gas phase while the cilia are moving forward. The Brinkman equation on a macroscopic scale, in which bundles of cilia are considered rather than individuals, with the Stefan condition was used in the PCL to determine the velocity of the PCL fluid and the height/shape of the free boundary. Regarding the numerical methods, the boundary immobilization technique was applied to immobilize the moving boundaries using coordinate transformation (working with a fixed domain). A finite element method was employed to discretize the mathematical model and a finite difference approach was applied to the Stefan problem to determine the free interface. In this study, an effective stroke is assumed to start when the cilia make a 140∘ angle to the horizontal plane and the velocitiesof cilia increase until the cilia are perpendicular to the horizontal plane. Then, the velocities of the cilia decrease until the cilia make a 40∘ angle with the horizontal plane. From the numerical results, we can see that although the velocities of the cilia increase and then decrease, the free interface at the tips of the cilia continues increasing for the full forward phase. The numerical results are verified and compared with an exact solution and experimental data from the literature. Regarding the fixed boundary, the numerical results converge to the exact solution. Regarding the free interface, the numerical solutions were compared with the average height of the PCL in non-cystic fibrosis (CF) human tissues and were in excellent agreement. This research also proposes possible values of parameters in the mathematical model in order to determine the free interface. Applications of these fluid flows include animal hair, fibers and filter pads, and rice fields.

SummaryIn previous papers the basis of a matrix approach to the initial buckling or vibration of prismatic structures consisting of a series of thin flat rectangular plates rigidly connected together along their longitudinal edges has been developed. The present paper provides numerical results for the buckling, under uniform longitudinal compression, of a series of panels with unflanged or flanged integral stiffeners, or with Z-section stiffeners; the results are compared with those obtained by other methods and with published results, including an appropriate Royal Aeronautical Society Structures Data Sheet. It was found that considerable inaccuracies can arise from the usual methods of analysis and the authors believe that these justify the use of computer programmes, such as the ones used to obtain the results of this paper, at least at the final design stage.

In ref. (1) Pope presents a theoretical analysis of the buckling of rectangular plates tapered in thickness under uniform load in the direction of taper. An experimental investigation into the end load buckling problem for a plate having simply-supported edges with the sides prevented from moving normally in the plane of the plate is described in ref. (2). For these boundary conditions the theoretical solution is exact. However, the compatability equation is not satisfied exactly when the sides are free to move in the plane of the plate. This experimental investigation demonstrates that the buckling load is nevertheless adequately predicted by the analysis in these circumstances.

Chebyshev spectral method based on operational matrix is applied to both systems of fractional integro-differential equations and Abel’s integral equations. Some test problems, for which the exact solution is known, are considered. Numerical results with comparisons are made to confirm the reliability of the method. Chebyshev spectral method may be considered as alternative and efficient technique for finding the approximation of system of fractional integro-differential equations and Abel’s integral equations.
