Plate Buckling Analysis by the Finite Element Method
platebucklingana00cars.pdf (2.070Mb)Abstract
An investigation was made of the buckling of rectangular plates
with free, simply supported, or clamped edges and loaded in uniform
compression or pure shear. The finite element method with a rectangular,
sixteen-degree-of -freedom element was used. Results show that,
for the same order of error, this element allows much coarser plate
divisions than a widely used twelve-degree-of-freedom element. An
order of magnitude reduction in the required order of the assembled
stiffness and stability coefficient matrices results.

Reduction of mutual coupling in small dipole array antenna
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2003-03);The mutual coupling in phased array is a well-known phenomenon. It affects the active element pattern of the array as the phase of the individual element is altered. In an array that has many elements, the effect is identical ... -
