This study presents a prediction method for sound insulation of sandwich plate which consists of orthotropic plates as skin and mineral wool as core. Prediction by classic theory, which considers orthotropic effects, requires considerably complex and cumbersome process and moreover many assumption. However, experimental results of the sandwich plate with orthotropic plates as skin show that the orthotropic effects are disappeared or fade out. Hence, predictions by using sandwich model are conducted by a simple modelling that substitutes an orthotropic plate into an equivalent flat plate. Comparative results show that sandwich model gives a good agreements with theoretical prediction.

In this study, analytical investigations on the flexural behavior of FRP reinforced concrete slab were discussed. In the derivation of analytic solution, the FRP reinforced concrete slab was modeled as a structural orthotropic plate. To determine the flexural rigidities of an orthotropic plate model, the elastic equivalence method was employed. In the finite element analysis, the approximate method to determine the rigidity matrix of orthotropic plate element was also suggested using the elastic equivalence method. The results obtained by the analytical solution and the finite element analysis were compared with that of experiment.

In this study, the analytical investigation of orthotropic rectangular plate is presented. The loaded edges are assumed to be simply supported and the unloaded edges could have elastically restrained boundary conditions including the extreme boundary condition such as simple, fixed, and free. Using the closed-form solutions, the buckling analyses of orthotropic plate with arbitrary boundary conditions are performed. Based on the data obtained by conducting numerical analysis, the simplified form of equation for finding the buckling coefficient of plate with elastically restrained boundary conditions at the unloaded edges is suggested as a function of aspect ratio, elastic restraint. and material properties of the plate. The results of buckling analyses by closed-form solution and simplified form of solution are compared for various orthotropic material properties. It is confirmed that the difference of results is less than 1.5%.

In this paper an analytical investigation pertaining to the elastic shear buckling behavior of transversely stiffened orthotropic plate under in-plane shear forces is presented. All edges of plate are assumed to be simply supported and the evenly placed stiffener is considered as a beam element neglecting its torsional rigidity. For the solution of the problem Rayleigh-Ritz method is employed. Using the derived equation, the limit of buckling stress of transversely stiffened plate is suggested as a graphical form. Based on the limit of buckling stress of stiffened plate, graphical form of results for finding the required stiffener rigidity is presented when one and two stiffeners are located, respectively.

In this study buckling behavior of orthotropic plate with a longitudinal stiffener under in-plane linearly distributed loads is investigated. All edges of plate are assumed to be simply supported and the stiffener is considered as a beam element. For the equation of buckling analysis Rayleigh-Ritz method is employed. The upper limit of the critical stress at various location of stiffener is determined by using Lagrangian multiplier method. Buckling analysis is performed for the various position of stiffener and for the various width ratios between plate and stiffener. The parametric study shows that, when four edges of plate are simply supported, the most effective position for a longitudinal stiffener is at the location of which the upper limit of the stress is the maximum.

This paper presents the three-dimensional stress analysis of orthotropic thick plates using the three-dimensional spline strip method based on the theory of elasticity. The orthotropic plates are made of Aragonite crystal and sitka spruce. To demonstrate the convergence and accuracy of the present method, several examples are solved, and results are compared with those obtained by other exact and numerical methods based on the theory of elasticity. Good convergence and accuracy are obtained. The effects of thickness/width ratio, aspect ratio and boundary conditions on normal stress distributions of Aragonite crystal plates and sitka spruce plates are investigated. Moreover, the difference of weak orthotropic and strong orthotropic properties given to the characteristics of stress distributions are also shown.

For the development of the practical methods of structrual analysis of typical VLFS. Orthortropic plate theory and a grillage beam theory and modeling techniques are studied and relevant numerical analysis are carried out. For the design of pontoon type VLFS, an efficient and reliable structural analysis techniques must be established, and as corresponding methods, two approaches mentioned above were studied in view point of their applicability and efficience. For that purpose, structural idealization is performed to make overall structural analysis first, and the structural behaviors of the model in the airplane landing simulation are evaluated. Through this study it is found that the structural idealization using orthotropic plate and grillage modeling are porved to be adequate and the numerical analysis results for real VLFS yields acceptable deformations in the corresponding simulations.

In this paper, we present the analytical study results of buckling behavior of elastically restrained orthotropic plates. In the study the boundary conditions of the plate are simply supported at all four edges and elastically restrained by the elastic medium at opposite two longitudinal edges. The energy method is employed in the solution of the problems in which method the buckling coefficient is calculated from the condition that the work-done by the external forces during buckling is equal to the stored elastic strain energy. The results are presented in the graphical from. The equations derived for the orthotropic plate in this study are compared with existing isotropic ones and identical results were observed.

Composite slab structures consisted with steel deck plate and concrete material show generally anisotropic structural behavior because of different stiffness between the major direction and sub-direction of deck plate, and also the structures can be regarded as the laminated slab structures. It is necessary for the composite deck slab structures to carry out the exact vibration analysis to evaluate the serviceability. Also, it is needed to evaluate the exact structural behavior of composite deck slab with a layered orthotropic materials. In this paper, the thickness of topping concrete and deck plate are used to calculate the material coefficient stiffness of a sub-direction, and an equivalent depth calculated from sectional stiffness of concrete and deck plate is applied to get the stiffness of a major direction. The stiffness of two layered composite plates with different depth is determined by laminated theory. It is concluded that the presented method can efficiently analyze the structural behavior of composite deck slab consisted with steel deck plate and concrete material in the practical engineering field.
