Purpose A nondestructive, noncontact approach for the estimation of elastic parameters of fully clamped thin sheet is presented in current work. Frequency response of pulsed laser impulse excited clamped thin plate is used for the estimation of elastic parameters. Methods Elastic parameters like Young’s modulus, shear modulus and Poisson ratio of fully clamped thin square soda lime glass plate are determined by pulsed laser impulse excitation of vibrations. Initially, frequency response is recorded by measuring vibrations using quadrature Michelson interferometer. Then, finite element method (FEM) based simulations are performed in ANSYS Workbench for the identification of mode shapes for transverse modes of vibrations. Experimentally measured natural frequencies are compared with the modes of vibrations from FEM for the determination of elastic parameters. Materials Soda lime glass fixed in an Aluminum holder. Results The obtained values of parameters are in agreement with analytical calculations within 3% and Young’s modulus measured by three point bending method within 1.5%. Effect of holder on the modes of vibrations of glass is found to be less than 2%. Conclusion Both simulations and experimental results are matched iteratively and extra bending and twisting modes of holder are identified. Best fitted elastic parameters for results are further verified using other methods. Due to the noncontact nature of the pulsed laser excitation and laser-based measurements, current technique can easily be applied for the measurement of Young’s modulus at in-situ harsh environments even at elevated temperatures.

The objective of this research is to determine if there is any significant relationship between corporate governance mechanism (accountant's experience, accountant's qualification, board size and presence of remuneration committee) and practice of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) among Muslim entrepreneurs in textile industry in Malaysia. Quantitative analysisis employed and data arecollected from 30 randomly selected companies. Descriptive statistics is reported and model estimation is performed using logistic regression. The finding reveals a significant positive relationship between the setting of remuneration committee and the practice of IFRS. This finding emphasizes the importance of establishing a risk management committee in sustaining business viability (Istihomah') of an enterprise.
