... 2 ( x-direction × y-direction ) ; the plate is simply supported. Using MSC.NASTRAN ( 24 ) for the FEM linear static numerical analysis, two models are selected. One is a simplified laminate plate model, equivalent to a homogeneous elastic solid panel. Equivalent elastic...

...Xavier Delaune; José Antunes; Vincent Debut; Philippe Piteau; Laurent Borsoi Predictive computation of the nonlinear dynamical responses of gap-supported tubes subjected to flow excitation has been the subject of very active research. Nevertheless, experimental results are still very important...
