Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleA COSSERAT-TYPE PLATE THEORY AND ITS APPLICATION TO CARBON NANOTUBE MICROSTRUCTUREAbdellatif Selmi, Hedi Hassis, Issam Doghri, Hatem ZenzriThe predictive capabilities of plate and shell theories greatly depend on their underlying kinematic assumptions. In this study, we develop a Cosserat-type elastic plate theory which accounts for rotations around the normal to the mid-surface plane (so-called drilling rotations). Internal loads, equilibrium equations, boundary conditions and constitutive equations are derived. The case of a Single Walled carbon Nanotube (SWNT) modelled … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 8 · 12 May 2014 · 6,930 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleVibration Equations of Thick Rectangular Plates Using Mindlin Plate TheoryS. A. Sadrnejad, A. Saedi Daryan, M. ZiaeiProblem statement: Rectangular steel plates are widely used in various steel structures and steel industries. For a proper design of steel plate structures and efficient use of material, the behavior, strength, buckling and post-buckling characteristics of plates should be accurately determined. Approach: Considering the significance of this matter, lateral vibration of thick rectangular plates was studied on the basis of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 7,881 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFree Particle Spin SpeedNicolae Petrescu, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuThe electron and the proton are stable particles, compounds of the atoms, which in turn are the macroscopic scale components. A heated metal plate becomes the source of a cloud of electrons, which by an acceleration in an electromagnetic field becomes an electron beam. Protons are obtained by ionized hydrogen atoms; as the mass of the electron is negligibly small … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 5 Jul 2019 · 7,775 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLow Cycle Fatigue Behavior of a Reduced End Plate Moment Connection (T-Stub)Chemin Lim, Wonchang Choi, Emmett A. Sumner, Taher Abu-LebdehProblem statement: In this research, four reduced End Plate Moment Connection (EPMC) specimens (T-stubs) are tested to verify the numerical and theoretical methods for preanalysis of the Low Cycle Fatigue (LCF) behavior of a four-bolt extended unstiffened EPMC. Approach: The T-stub specimens are bolted to a support frame and a monotonic load is applied to the stem plate. Yield line … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 12 Jan 2012 · 7,399 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Viewpoint for Seismotectonic ZoningReza Derakhshani, Seyed Saeed EslamiProblem statement: Seismotectonic zoning has always been used to get access to intracontinental seismic deformation whereas zoning is not enough reliable in regard with small-scale studies. Approach: This research presents a theoretical model on the basis of plate tectonic theory to introduce a new approach to conduct zoning in terms of seismic deformation. Results: The result of this research not … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Jul 2011 · 7,663 accessesView PDFCite
