Stress analysis of thin and thick plates on elastic foundations using boundary and finite element methods [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
In this work an attempt has been made to derive a full finite element and boundary element theory for the analysis of thin and thick plates on elastic foundations. A new high order shear finite element capable of the analysis of thin thick plates has

Quantifying Joint Congruence With an Elastic Foundation [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biomechanical Engineering, 2022
Abstract The level of congruence between the articulating surfaces of a diarthrodial joint can vary substantially between individuals. Quantifying joint congruence using the most widespread metric, the “congruence index,” is not straightforward: the areas of the segmented bone that constitute the articular surfaces require accurate ...

Elastic Foundation Displacement Approximations

open access: yesThe Baltic Journal of Road and Bridge Engineering, 2019
Interaction of an elastic foundation and structures like beams, plates and frames plays an essential role in investigating soil media in contact and impact mechanics. The solution to this interaction problem is complicated even the foundation is assumed as a linear elastic medium. E.

Thick Orthotropic Rectangular Plates on Elastic Foundations

open access: yesTikrit Journal of Engineering Sciences, 2007
In this research, Mindlin’s thick plate theory is extended to include orthotropic plates under the effects of externally distributed moments and shearing forces at top and bottom faces of the plate. These shearing forces produce in-plane forces in plates

Closed-form solutions to investigate the nonlinear response of foundations supporting operating machines under blast loads

open access: yesJournal of Low Frequency Noise, Vibration and Active Control, 2023
Machine foundations are subjected to significant dynamic impacts. These impacts could spread to the surrounding regions, affecting workers, sensitive equipment in the same institution, or nearby areas.
