In this study, the natural frequencies of the perforated square plate with a square penetration pattern are obtained as a function of ligament efficiency using the commercial finite-element analysis code ANSYS. In addition, they are used to extract the effective modulus of elasticity under an assumption of a constant Poisson's ratio. The effective modulus of elasticity of the fully perforated square plate is applied to the modal analysis of a partially perforated square plate using a homogeneous finite-element analysis model. The natural frequencies and the corresponding mode shapes of the homogeneous model are compared with the results of the detailed finite-element analysis model of the partially perforated square plate to check the validity of the effective modulus of elasticity. In addition, the theoretical method to calculate the natural frequencies of a partially perforated square plate with fixed edges is suggested according to the Rayleigh-Ritz method.

In this editorial, buckling analytical investigation of the nanocomposite plate with square cut out reinforced by carbon nanotubes (CNTs) surrounded by Pasternak foundation is considered. The plate is presumed has square cut out in center and resting on Pasternak foundation. CNTs are used as amplifier in plate for diverse distribution, such as uniform distribution (UD) and three patterns of functionally graded (FG) distribution types of CNTs (FG-X, FG-A and FG-O). Moreover, the effective mechanical properties of nanocomposite plate are calculated from the rule of mixture. Domain decomposition method and orthogonal polynomials are applied in order to define the shape function of nanocomposite plate with square cut out. Finally, Rayleigh-Ritz energy method is used to obtain critical buckling load of system. A detailed parametric study is conducted to explicit the effects of the dimensions of plate, length of square cut out, different distribution of CNTs, elastic medium and volume fraction of CNTs. It is found from results that increase the dimensions of plate and length of square cut out have negative impact on buckling behavior of system but considering CNTs in plate has positive influence.

In this study, it is attempted to obtain the optimum size of holes in 15 square plate models where a hole exists on every quadrant of a plate, and to get eigenvalues by performing free vibration analysis far each model. Moreover, the specimen is produced from optimized square plate and eigenvalue of each plate is measured through the shocking load. And then the result is compared with that of finite element analysis. For free vibration analysis of the square plate, the boundary condition of finite element analysis and experiment is assumed as both ends support. From the results of this study, it is known that more stable structures can be designed by changing the natural frequency which is dependent on the location of holes and further studies are considered to be necessary for the basic design information.

The fluid flow over structures has been widely investigated by many researchers because its extensive application in offshore structures, skyscrapers, chimneys and cooling towers, brides. In the viewpoint of reducing the drag for offshore structure, it becomes challenging problem in the field of hydrodynamic of offshore structure. The purpose of this study is to investigate a flow over a square cylinder with an attached splitter plate using RANS method. First, RANS turbulent models such as a standard $k-{\omega}$ model, SST $k-{\omega}$ model, RNG $k-{\varepsilon}$ model, realizable $k-{\varepsilon}$ model, standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ model were used for choosing suitable turbulent model which has the best agreement with available experimental result. Drag of single cylinder estimated by using standard $k-{\omega}$ has a good agreement with published experimental result. Therefore, the stand $k-{\omega}$ was selected for simulation for flow over a square cylinder with an attached plate. Second, the numerical results of drag of square cylinder with an attached splitter plate in various length of an attached plate were performed using RANS method in ANSYS Fluent. In this paper, the numerical simulations were conducted at a Reynolds number of 485 and the thickness of the splitter plate is chosen as a constant value about 10% of cylinder width. The numerical results of drag coefficient of square cylinder are compared with experimental result published by other researchers. Finally, the effect of the splitter plate attached to the rear side of the square cylinder has been investigated numerically with a focus on the drag coefficient and flow characteristic. As a result, the drag coefficient decreases with an increase in splitter plate length.

The heat transfer characteristics of confined turbulent slot jet impingement on the flat plate with square rods(turbulence promoter) have been experimentally investigated. The effects of jet Reynolds number (Re=3900, 5800, 7800, 9700), dimensionless slot-to-plate distance(H/B=4, 6, 8) clearance(c) between square rods and the plate, and the length(d) of a side of the square rod were examined. Measurement or heat transfer rate were conducted using naphthalene sublimation technique. When square rods were inserted over the heat transfer surface, heat transfer rate was slightly increased in the wall jet region.

This work presents the experimental and finite element analysis results for the free vibration of 4 edges clamped, isotropic square plates with 2 collinear circular holes. Natural frequencies of finite element analysis are obtained for the complete square plate, the square plates with a central circular hole and the square plates with 2 collinear circulare holes. And natural frequencies are experimentally measured for the complete square plate, the square plate with a central circular hole(d = 150 mm) and the square plates with 2 collinear circular holes. Agreement between experimental and FEM results is excellent. Mode shapes in special case are presented. The conclusions of the study are as follows. There is little variation of nondimensional frequency parameters for the first six mode when the aspect ratio of circular hole is less than 1/6 in the isotropic square plates with 2 collinear circular holes. And the first nondimensional frequency parameter doesn't vary as the aspect ratio of circular hole increase.

The characteristics of the unsteady flowfield of a square prism having a detached splitter plate at the wake side were investigated by advanced vortex method. The instantaneous and average velocity field and pressure field around a square prism without and having splitter plate were calculated by forcing the gap ratio having the maximum drag reduction rate, at Reynolds number $Re=1.0{\times}10^4$ and the width ratio H/B=1.0 of splitter to the prism width. The drag and lift coefficients on the square prism were also obtained. The calculated results agree with the measured drag coefficients and pressure distributions on the square prism. The vortices of the opposite direction at upside and down side of the splitter plate were generated by installing of the plate. And the drag on the square prism was decreased by increasing of the pressure of back face of the prism with the vortices.

The effects of jet Reynolds number (Re=3900, 5800, 7800, 9700), dimensionless slot-to-plate distance(H/B=4, 6, 8) and clearance(c) between square rods and the plate were examined. Measurement of heat transfer rate were conducted using naphthalene sublimation technique. When square rods were inserted over the heat transfer surface, heat transfer rate was slightly increased in the wall jet region and the sharp-edged orifice nozzle was heigher than squared orifice nozzle.

This paper presents the free vibration analysis of a circular plate with a concentric square hole. The present problem deals with the numerical calculation of the natural frequencies and mode shapes of vibration of the structure by means of Independent Coordinate Coupling Method (ICCM). In this study, the boundary condition is the edge of the square hole is free and the outer circular plate is simply supported. Due to the geometric abnormality, this analysis does not permit an exact solution. Since the ICCM employs coordinate systems corresponding to each domain independently, the kinetic and potential energy expressions necessary for the Rayleigh-Ritz method can be easily obtained. Lastly, the kinematic relation is imposed. In this way, the eigenvalue problem can be easily set up. The numerical results show the efficacy of the ICCM and changes in natural frequencies and modes due to the square hole size.
