Levy-type solution for free vibration analysis of orthotropic plates based on two variable refined plate theory

Closed-form solutions for free vibration analysis of orthotropic plates are obtained in this paper based on two variable refined plate theory. The theory, which has strong similarity with classical plate theory in many aspects, accounts for a quadratic variation of the transverse shear strains across the thickness, and satisfies the zero traction boundary conditions on the top and bottom surfaces of the plate without using shear correction factors. Equations of motion are derived from the Hamilton’s principle. The closed-form solutions of rectangular plates with two opposite edges simply supported and the other two edges having arbitrary boundary conditions are obtained by applying the state space approach to the Levy-type solution. Comparison studies are performed to verify the validity of the present results. The effects of boundary condition, and variations of modulus ratio, aspect ratio, and thickness ratio on the natural frequency of orthotropic plates are investigated and discussed in detail.     

Static response and free vibration analysis of FGM plates using higher order shear deformation theory

Free vibration and static analysis of functionally graded material (FGM) plates are studied using higher order shear deformation theory with a special modification in the transverse displacement in conjunction with finite element models. The mechanical properties of the plate are assumed to vary continuously in the thickness direction by a simple power-law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. The fundamental equations for FGM plates are derived using variational approach by considering traction free boundary conditions on the top and bottom faces of the plate. Results have been obtained by employing a continuous isoparametric Lagrangian finite element with 13 degrees of freedom per node. Convergence tests and comparison studies have been carried out to demonstrate the efficiency of the present model. Numerical results for different thickness ratios, aspect ratios and volume fraction index with different boundary conditions have been presented. It is observed that the natural frequency parameter increases for plate aspect ratio, lower volume fraction index n and smaller thickness ratios. It is also observed that the effect of thickness ratio on the frequency of a plate is independent of the volume fraction index. For a given thickness ratio non-dimensional deflection increases as the volume fraction index increases. It is concluded that the gradient in the material properties plays a vital role in determining the response of the FGM plates.     

Analytical solutions of refined plate theory for bending,buckling and vibration analyses of thick plates

Analytical solutions for bending, buckling, and vibration analyses of thick rectangular plates with various boundary conditions are presented using two variable refined plate theory. The theory accounts for parabolic variation of transverse shear stress through the thickness of the plate without using shear correction factor. In addition, it contains only two unknowns and has strong similarities with the classical plate theory in many aspects such as equations of motion, boundary conditions, and stress resultant expressions. Equations of motion are derived from Hamilton’s principle. Closed-form solutions of deflection, buckling load, and natural frequency are obtained for rectangular plates with two opposite edges simply supported and the other two edges having arbitrary boundary conditions. Comparison studies are presented to verify the validity of present solutions. It is found that the deflection, stress, buckling load, and natural frequency obtained by the present theory match well with those obtained by the first-order and third-order shear deformation theories.     

An efficient and simple refined theory for buckling analysis of functionally graded plates

In this paper, an efficient and simple refined theory is presented for buckling analysis of functionally graded plates. The theory, which has strong similarity with classical plate theory in many aspects, accounts for a quadratic variation of the transverse shear strains across the thickness and satisfies the zero traction boundary conditions on the top and bottom surfaces of the plate without using shear correction factors. The mechanical properties of functionally graded material are assumed to vary according to a power law distribution of the volume fraction of the constituents. Governing equations are derived from the principle of minimum total potential energy. The closed-form solutions of rectangular plates are obtained. Comparison studies are performed to verify the validity of present results. The effects of loading conditions and variations of power of functionally graded material, modulus ratio, aspect ratio, and thickness ratio on the critical buckling load of functionally graded plates are investigated and discussed.     

A new sinusoidal shear deformation theory for bending,buckling, and vibration of functionally graded plates

A new sinusoidal shear deformation theory is developed for bending, buckling, and vibration of functionally graded plates. The theory accounts for sinusoidal distribution of transverse shear stress, and satisfies the free transverse shear stress conditions on the top and bottom surfaces of the plate without using shear correction factor. Unlike the conventional sinusoidal shear deformation theory, the proposed sinusoidal shear deformation theory contains only four unknowns and has strong similarities with classical plate theory in many aspects such as equations of motion, boundary conditions, and stress resultant expressions. The material properties of plate are assumed to vary according to power law distribution of the volume fraction of the constituents. Equations of motion are derived from the Hamilton’s principle. The closed-form solutions of simply supported plates are obtained and the results are compared with those of first-order shear deformation theory and higher-order shear deformation theory. It can be concluded that the proposed theory is accurate and efficient in predicting the bending, buckling, and vibration responses of functionally graded plates.     

An accurate mathematical study on the free vibration of stepped thickness circular/annular Mindlin functionally graded plates

An analytical solution based on a new exact closed form procedure is presented for free vibration analysis of stepped circular and annular FG plates via first order shear deformation plate theory of Mindlin. The material properties change continuously through the thickness of the plate, which can vary according to a power-law distribution of the volume fraction of the constituents, whereas Poisson’s ratio is set to be constant. Based on the domain decomposition technique, five highly coupled governing partial differential equations of motion for freely vibrating FG plates were exactly solved by introducing the new potential functions as well as using the method of separation of variables. Several comparison studies were presented by those reported in the literature and the FEM analysis, for various thickness values and combinations of stepped thickness variations of circular/annular FG plates to demonstrate highly stability and accuracy of present exact procedure. The effect of the geometrical and material plate parameters such as step thickness ratios, step locations and the power law index on the natural frequencies of FG plates is investigated.     

Elastic wave propagation energy dissipation characteristics analysis on the viscoelastic damping material structures embedded with acoustic black hole based on semi-analytical homogeneous asymptotic method

Elastic wave energy dissipation and absorption properties of viscoelastic damping material (VDM) composite plates embedded with acoustic black hole (ABH) are analyzed in this paper. Considering the periodic distribution of the ABH-embedded VDM structure in the composite plate, semi-analytical homogeneous asymptotic theory is applied, which transforms the macroscopic to a microscopic problem. In-plane variables of the composite structure are defined and generated by the third-order shear deformation theory of Reddy, and the equilibrium equations are derived by extended Hamilton's principle and the internal balance is consequently determined by representative volume element theory. Determining the constitutive equations of the composite laminate structure allow the equivalent shear and strain equilibrium equations to be achieved. Subsequently, the complex equivalent stiffness is defined according to the general Hooke's law, and the dimensionless equivalent loss tangent tanδ of the composite sandwich plate is finally evaluated from the equivalent loss and storage modulus. The ABH and VDM layer factors which affect tanδ are thoroughly analyzed and discussed. The investigation can supply a new efficient method to dissipate and absorb propagation wave energy with a wide bandwidth at low frequency. Additionally, the analysis is validated by numerical simulation and Galerkin methods.     

Fundamental size dependent natural frequencies of non-uniform orthotropic nano scaled plates using nonlocal variational principle and finite element method

In the present study, a nonlocal continuum model based on the Eringen’s theory is developed for vibration analysis of orthotropic nano-plates with arbitrary variation in thickness. Variational principle and Ritz functions are employed to calculate the size dependent natural frequencies of non-uniform nano-plates on the basis of nonlocal classical plate theory (NCLPT). The Ritz functions eliminate the need for mesh generation and thus large degrees of freedom arising in discretization methods such as finite element (FE). Effect of thickness variation on natural frequencies is examined for different nonlocal parameters, mode numbers, geometries and boundary conditions. It is found that thickness variation accompanying small scale effect has a noticeable effect on natural frequencies of non-uniform plates at nano scale. Also a comparison with finite element solution is performed to show the ability of the Ritz functions in fast converging to the exact results. It is anticipated that presented results can be used as a helpful source in vibration design and frequency optimization of non-uniform small scaled plates.     

Bending analysis of size-dependent functionally graded annular sector microplates based on the modified couple stress theory

In the present paper, a non-classical model for functionally graded annular sector microplates under distributed transverse loading is developed based on the modified couple stress theory and the first-order shear deformation plate theory. The model contains a single material length scale parameter which can capture the size effect. The material properties are graded through the thickness of plates according to a power-law distribution of the volume fraction of the constituents. The equilibrium equations and boundary conditions are simultaneously derived from the principle of minimum total potential energy. The system of equilibrium equations is then solved using the generalized differential quadrature method. The effects of length scale parameter, power-law index and geometrical parameters on the bending response of annular sector plates subjected to distributed transverse loading are investigated.     

Nonlinear vibration of hybrid laminated plates resting on elastic foundations in thermal environments

This paper deals with large amplitude vibration of hybrid laminated plates containing piezoelectric layers resting on an elastic foundation in thermal environments. The motion equation of the plate that includes plate-foundation interaction is based on a higher order shear deformation plate theory and solved by a two-step perturbation technique. The thermo-piezoelectric effects are also included and the material properties of both orthotropic layers and piezoelectric layers are assumed to be temperature-dependent. The numerical illustrations concern nonlinear vibration characteristics of unsymmetric cross-ply and antisymmetric angle-ply laminated plates with fully covered or embedded piezoelectric actuators under different sets of thermal and electrical loading conditions. The results show that the foundation stiffness and stacking sequence have a significant effect on the nonlinear vibration characteristics of the hybrid laminated plate. The results also reveal that the temperature rise reduces the natural frequency, but it only has a small effect on the nonlinear to linear frequency ratios of the hybrid laminated plate. The results confirm that the effect of the applied voltage on the natural frequency and the nonlinear to linear frequency ratios of the hybrid laminated plate is marginal except the plate is sufficiently thin.
