  2. Plate theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_theory

    v. t. e. Vibration mode of a clamped square plate. In continuum mechanics, plate theories are mathematical descriptions of the mechanics of flat plates that draw on the theory of beams. Plates are defined as plane structural elements with a small thickness compared to the planar dimensions. [1] The typical thickness to width ratio of a plate ...

  3. Kirchhoff–Love plate theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirchhoff–Love_plate_theory

    Kirchhoff–Love plate theory. The Kirchhoff–Love theory of plates is a two-dimensional mathematical model that is used to determine the stresses and deformations in thin plates subjected to forces and moments. This theory is an extension of Euler-Bernoulli beam theory and was developed in 1888 by Love [1] using assumptions proposed by Kirchhoff.

  4. Vibration of plates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibration_of_plates

    Vibration of plates. Vibration mode of a clamped square plate. The vibration of plates is a special case of the more general problem of mechanical vibrations. The equations governing the motion of plates are simpler than those for general three-dimensional objects because one of the dimensions of a plate is much smaller than the other two.

  5. Capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor

    Electronic symbol. In electrical engineering, a capacitor is a device that stores electrical energy by accumulating electric charges on two closely spaced surfaces that are insulated from each other. The capacitor was originally known as the condenser, [1] a term still encountered in a few compound names, such as the condenser microphone.

  6. Reissner-Mindlin plate theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reissner-Mindlin_plate_theory

    The Reissner–Mindlin theory of plates is an extension of Kirchhoff–Love plate theory that takes into account shear deformations through-the-thickness of a plate. The theory was proposed in 1951 by Raymond Mindlin. [1] A similar, but not identical, theory in static setting, had been proposed earlier by Eric Reissner in 1945. [2]

  7. Bending of plates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bending_of_plates

    This calculation was performed using Ansys. Bending of plates, or plate bending, refers to the deflection of a plate perpendicular to the plane of the plate under the action of external forces and moments. The amount of deflection can be determined by solving the differential equations of an appropriate plate theory.

  8. Föppl–von Kármán equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Föppl–von_Kármán...

    Föppl–von Kármán equations. The Föppl–von Kármán equations, named after August Föppl [1] and Theodore von Kármán, [2] are a set of nonlinear partial differential equations describing the large deflections of thin flat plates. [3] With applications ranging from the design of submarine hulls to the mechanical properties of cell wall ...

  9. Richard Feynman - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Feynman

    Richard Phillips Feynman (/ ˈ f aɪ n m ə n /; May 11, 1918 – February 15, 1988) was an American theoretical physicist, known for his work in the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum electrodynamics, the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, as well as his work in particle physics for which he proposed the parton model.
