Stability analysis of functionally graded rectangular plates under nonlinearly varying in-plane loading resting on elastic foundation

In this research work, an exact analytical solution for buckling of functionally graded rectangular plates subjected to non-uniformly distributed in-plane loading acting on two opposite simply supported edges is developed. It is assumed that the plate rests on two-parameter elastic foundation and its material properties vary through the thickness of the plate as a power function. The neutral surface position for such plate is determined, and the classical plate theory based on exact neutral surface position is employed to derive the governing stability equations. Considering Levy-type solution, the buckling equation reduces to an ordinary differential equation with variable coefficients. An exact analytical solution is obtained for this equation in the form of power series using the method of Frobenius. By considering sufficient terms in power series, the critical buckling load of functionally graded plate with different boundary conditions is determined. The accuracy of presented results is verified by appropriate convergence study, and the results are checked with those available in related literature. Furthermore, the effects of power of functionally graded material, aspect ratio, foundation stiffness coefficients and in-plane loading configuration together with different combinations of boundary conditions on the critical buckling load of functionally graded rectangular thin plate are studied.

Global bifurcations and multi-pulse chaotic dynamics of rectangular thin plate with one-to-one internal resonance

Global bifurcations and multi-pulse chaotic dynamics for a simply supported rectangular thin plate are studied by the extended Melnikov method.The rectangular thin plate is subject to transversal and in-plane excitation.A two-degree-of-freedom nonlinear nonautonomous system governing equations of motion for the rectangular thin plate is derived by the von Karman type equation and the Galerkin approach.A one-toone internal resonance is considered.An averaged equation is obtained with a multi-scale method.After transforming the averaged equation into a standard form,the extended Melnikov method is used to show the existence of multi-pulse chaotic dynamics,which can be used to explain the mechanism of modal interactions of thin plates.A method for calculating the Melnikov function is given without an explicit analytical expression of homoclinic orbits.Furthermore,restrictions on the damping,excitation,and detuning parameters are obtained,under which the multi-pulse chaotic dynamics is expected.The results of numerical simulations are also given to indicate the existence of small amplitude multi-pulse chaotic responses for the rectangular thin plate.     

Closed-form solutions for free vibration of rectangular FGM thin plates resting on elastic foundation

This article presents closed-form solutions for the frequency analysis of rectangular functionally graded material(FGM) thin plates subjected to initially in-plane loads and with an elastic foundation. Based on classical thin plate theory, the governing differential equations are derived using Hamilton's principle. A neutral surface is used to eliminate stretching–bending coupling in FGM plates on the basis of the assumption of constant Poisson's ratio. The resulting governing equation of FGM thin plates has the same form as homogeneous thin plates. The separation-ofvariables method is adopted to obtain solutions for the free vibration problems of rectangular FGM thin plates with separable boundary conditions, including, for example, clamped plates. The obtained normal modes and frequencies are in elegant closed forms, and present formulations and solutions are validated by comparing present results with those in the literature and finite element method results obtained by the authors. A parameter study reveals the effects of the power law index n and aspect ratio a/b on frequencies.

This paper presents the analytical solutions for the bending of orthotropic rectangular thin plates by the double finite integral transform, which, as an effective tool in solving plate problems, should have received attention. As a representative and difficult problem in the theory of plates, free plates’ bending is successfully solved to demonstrate the accuracy of the method by comparing the present analytical solutions with those from the literature as well as those by the finite element method.

Bending of rectangular plates carried by vacuum cups

In order to carry thin plates, vacuum cups are frequently used. When the over-hang is large, the deflections and stresses of the plate have considerably large values. In this paper, the rectangular plate hung by circular vacuum cups is treated. The analysis is carried out for the plate, which is subjected to line loads and radial bending moments at the inner circular boundary and free at the outer rectangular boundary. In addition to these boundary conditions, the plate is subjected to different distributed loads on inner and outer domains. First, the general solutions for the deflections on each domain are obtained by using infinite series, which are expressed by the polar coordinate system. The several undetermined constants in these equations are decreased by the conditions of continuity at the inner boundaries. Satisfying the boundary conditions at the finite points on the outer edges of the plate, the deflections and stresses of the plate and the contact pressures between the plate and the vacuum cup are calculated. Typical results are presented in dimensionless graphical form for different parameters and vacuum cup edge conditions.     

Elastic nonlinear stability analysis of thin rectangular plates through a semi-analytical approach

A semi-analytical approach to the elastic nonlinear stability analysis of rectangular plates is developed. Arbitrary boundary conditions and general out-of-plane and in-plane loads are considered. The geometrically nonlinear formulation for the elastic rectangular plate is derived using the thin plate theory with the nonlinear von Kármán strains and the variational multi-term extended Kantorovich method. Emphasis is placed on the effect of destabilizing loads and on the derivation of the solution methodologies required for tracking a highly nonlinear equilibrium path, namely: parameter continuation and arc-length continuation procedures. These procedures, which are commonly used for the solution of discretized structural systems governed by nonlinear algebraic equations, are augmented and generalized for the direct application to the PDE. The boundary value problem that results from the arc-length continuation scheme and consists of coupled differential, integral, and algebraic equations is re-formulated in a form that allows the use of standard numerical BVP solvers. The performance of the continuation procedures and the convergence of the multi-term extended Kantorovich method are examined through the solution of the two-dimensional Bratu–Gelfand benchmark problem. The applicability of the proposed approach to the tracking of the nonlinear equilibrium path in the post-buckling range is demonstrated through numerical examples of rectangular plates with various boundary conditions.

Bending of edge-bonded dissimilar rectangular plates

This study develops the extended Kantorovich method (EKM) to provide a closed form semi analytical solution for the bending analysis of two edge-bonded thin rectangular plates. The constituent plates could be different in thickness, length, material, loading conditions, and Winkler foundation’s stiffness. A combination of clamp, free, and simply supports are applied to the structure. The shared edge in the composite plate is assumed to be perfectly bonded. By applying the EKM together with the idea of weighted residual technique, two sets of ODEs are obtained. Bending is assumed to remain continuous on the bonded edge. The EKM procedure is modified by applying the coordinate of an arbitrary shared point in the boundary conditions for the shared edge, to relate the bending of the two plates. The ODEs are solved iteratively to obtain the deflection function in a fast convergence trend. Two examples of aluminium-steel plate and functionally graded material-steel plate are considered. The deflection results from the boundary modified EKM (BM-EKM) are in high agreement with the finite element solution results. The bending of stepped plates is a special case of the current study. The suggested BM-EKM strengthens the EKM’s ability for solving complex jointed/bonded structures in structural analyses.
