Game Play Schemas: From Player Analysis to Adaptive Game Mechanics by Craig A. Lindley, Charlotte C. Sennersten

“…Schema theory provides a foundation for the analysis of game play patterns created by players during their interaction with a game. Schema models derived from the analysis of play provide a rich explanatory framework for the cognitive processes underlying game play, as well as detailed hypotheses for the hierarchical structure of pleasures and rewards motivating players. …”

Vibrational Energy Flow Models of Finite Orthotropic Plates by Do-Hyun Park, Suk-Yoon Hong, Hyun-Gwon Kil

“…In this paper energy flow models for the transverse vibration of finite orthotropic plates are developed. These models are expressed with time- and locally space-averaged far-field energy density, and show more general forms than the conventional EFA models for isotropic plates. …”

Natural Frequencies of Shear Deformable Plates by Polyharmonic Splines by A. J. M. Ferreira, A. M. Zenkour

“…We use the third-order shear deformation theory and a collocation technique with polyharmonic splines to predict natural frequencies of moderately thick isotropic plates. The natural frequencies of vibration are computed for various plates and compared with some available published results. …”

Axisymmetric Natural Frequencies of Statically Loaded Annular Plates by Eihab M. Abdel-Rahman, Waleed F. Faris, Ali H. Nayfeh

“…We present a numerical procedure to solve the axisymmetric vibration problem of statically loaded annular plates. We use the von Kármán nonlinear plate model to account for large deformations and study the effect of static deflections on the natural frequencies and mode shapes for six combinations of boundary conditions. …”
