Conclusion A method of handling such a rectangular plate having special mixed boundary conditions was presented and also its reliability was investigated. The labour required for computation amounts to a substantial quantity and thus an approximate method seems to be desirable. However, such a difficulty could be solved through the use of a high speed digital computer at present. Actually, the author has taken advantage of such a devise.In conclusion, the assistance of Mr. S. Hatano and Mr. H. Okamura on numerical computation and experiments is gratefully acknowledged.     

The wave and vibratory power transmission in a finite L-shaped Mindlin plate with two simply supported opposite edges

In this paper,wave and vibratory power transmission in a finite L-shaped Mindlin plate with two simply supported opposite edges are investigated using the wave approach.The dynamic responses,active and reactive power flow in the finite plate are calculated by the Mindlin plate theory (MPT) and classic plate theory (CPT).To satisfy the boundary conditions and continuous conditions at the coupled junction of the finite L-shaped plate,the near-field and far-field waves are entirely contained in the wave approach.The in-plane longitudinal and shear waves are also considered.The results indicate that the vibratory power flow based on the MPT is different from that based on the CPT not only at high frequencies but also at low and medium frequencies.The influence of the plate thickness on the vibrational power flow is investigated.From the results it is seen that the shear and rotary inertia correction of the MPT can influence the active and reactive power at the junction of the L-shaped plate not only at high frequencies but also at low and medium frequencies.Furthermore,the effects of structural damping on the active and reactive power flow at the junction are also analyzed.     

On new symplectic approach for exact bending solutions of moderately thick rectangular plates with two opposite edges simply supported

The symplectic geometry method is introduced for exact bending solutions of moderately thick rectangular plates with two opposite edges simply supported. The basic equations for the plates are first transferred into Hamilton canonical equations. The whole state variables are then separated. Using the method of eigenfunction expansion in the symplectic geometry, typical examples for plates with selected boundary conditions are solved and exact bending solutions obtained. Since only the basic elasticity equations of the plates are used, this method eliminates the need to pre-determine the deformation function and is hence more reasonable than conventional methods. Numerical results were presented to demonstrate the validity and accuracy of this approach as compared to those reported in other literatures.     

A complete symplectic eigenfunction expansion for the elastic thin plate with simply supported edges

The eigenvalue problem for the Hamiltonian operator associated with the mathematical model for the deflection of a thin elastic plate is investigated. First, the problem for a rectangular plate with simply supported edges is solved directly. Then, the completeness of the eigenfunctions is proved, thereby demonstrating the feasibility of using separation of variables to solve the problem. Finally, the general solution is obtained by using the proved expansion theorem.     

Airy stress function for describing the non-linear effect of simply supported plates with movable edges

The general form of the solution of the Airy function for the stress distributions that describe the non-linear effect developed from the large deflection of simply supported plates with movable edges are found by superposition of the Airy functions, which satisfy the large deflection condition and the boundary conditions of the edges. Each term of the Airy function consists of a particular solution and a homogeneous one. The particular solution satisfying the large deflection condition is classified into six cases, depending on the combinations of the modal numbers of the comparison functions. The corresponding homogeneous solution is found to make each Airy function satisfy the boundary condition by using the Fourier series method. The solution is applied to the non-linear analysis of the deflection of the simply supported plates with movable edges under transverse loading, and is verified by comparison with other investigation.     

Multi-mode parametric excitation of a simply supported plate under time-varying and non-uniform edge loading

In this study, multi-mode parametric excitation of a simply supported plate under time-varying and non-uniform edge loading is modeled and the solution is found. Equations for multi-mode parametric excitation of a simply supported plate are derived using stress distributions within the plate as well as on the edges, considering both the effects of non-uniform edge loading and the non-linearity caused by the large deflection. The multi-mode equations are coupled by first-order linear terms, even in the case of simply supported boundary conditions, due to the non-uniform edge loading. The perturbation solutions of two-mode parametric excitation are examined by the method of multiple scales. For the edge loading, which consists of a uniform term as well as a non-uniform one, equations could be coupled or de-coupled by parametric excitation terms, and the numbers and values of the resonance frequencies of the parametric excitations could also differ, depending on whether the non-uniform term of the edge loading is time-varying or not. In addition to the resonant frequencies of the case when only the uniform term of the edge loading is time-varying, there are additional combination resonances at the vicinity of the sum of two natural frequencies of each mode when the non-uniform term of the non-uniform edge loading is time-varying.     

Accurate variational approach for free vibration of simply supported anisotropic rectangular plates

The Ritz method is one of the most elegant and useful approximate methods for analyzing free vibration of laminated composite plates. It is simple to use and also straightforward to implement. However, the Ritz method has its own difficulty in determining the natural frequencies of simply supported laminated anisotropic plates. This is caused by the fact that the natural boundary conditions in the vibration of anisotropic plates can never be exactly satisfied by a solution in a variables separable form. As a result, the calculated natural frequencies would be expected to converge to solutions a little higher than true ones. To overcome this difficulty, this paper presents a simple variational formulation with Ritz procedure in which all the natural boundary conditions are implemented in an averaging manner. It is revealed that the proposed method can produce lower upper bound solutions compared with the conventional Ritz method where the geometric boundary conditions can only be satisfied by the assumed deflection functions.     

Nonlinear bending of rectangular orthotropic plate with two free edges and the other edges having nonuniform rotational flexibility

this paper presents a series solution to von Kármán nonlinear equations of a rectilinearly orthotropic rectangular plate under the combined action of lateral load and in-plane tension with the titled edge restraints. In the formulation the edge moments are replaced by an equivalent pressure near the edges. Using generalized double Fourier series for the deflection and stress function, governing equations are reduced to an infinite set of algebraic equations for coefficients in these series. Numerical results for deflections, bending moments and in-plane forces are graphically presented for various values of aspect ratio and material properties and for different edge conditions.     

Vibrations of shallow shells rectangular in the horizontal projection with two freely supported opposite edges

The exact mode shapes of linear vibrations of a shallow shell rectangular in the horizontal projection with two freely supported opposite edges are obtained. These shapes are used to construct a discretemodel of vibrations of a shallow shell in geometrically nonlinear deformation. The harmonic balance method is used to study the free and forced nonlinear vibrations under internal resonance. The Lyapunov stability of the obtained periodic vibrations is analyzed.     

Geometrically non-linear free and forced vibrations of simply supported circular cylindrical shells: A semi-analytical approach

The non-linear free and forced vibrations of simply supported thin circular cylindrical shells are investigated using Lagrange's equations and an improved transverse displacement expansion. The purpose of this approach was to provide engineers and designers with an easy method for determining the shell non-linear mode shapes, with their corresponding amplitude dependent non-linear frequencies. The Donnell non-linear shell theory has been used and the flexural deformations at large vibration amplitudes have been taken into account. The transverse displacement expansion has been made using two terms including both the driven and the axisymmetric modes, and satisfying the simply supported boundary conditions. The non-linear dynamic variational problem obtained by applying Lagrange's equations was then transformed into a static case by adopting the harmonic balance method. Minimisation of the energy functional with respect to the basic function contribution coefficients has led to a simple non-linear multi-modal equation, the solution of which gives in the case of a single mode assumption an expression for the non-linear frequencies which is much simpler than that derived from the non-linear partial differential equation obtained previously by several authors. Quantitative results based on the present approach have been computed and compared with experimental data. The good agreement found was very satisfactory, in comparison with previous old and recent theoretical approaches, based on sophisticated numerical methods, such as the finite element method (FEM), the method of normal forms (MNF), and analytical methods, such as the perturbation method.     

The effect of a transverse shear acting on the edge of a circular cutout in a simply supported circular cylindrical shell

Summary First, the solution to the problem of a simply supported circular cylindrical shell (without a cutout) subjected to a circumferential segmental line load at the middle of the shell is derived. Next, the negatives of the stress resultants and stress couples at a given radius ₀, obtained from this solution, are combined with a transverse shear force to form the edge conditions for a circular cylindrical shell containing a circular cutout with radius ₀. The desired solution is finally obtained by superposing the above two solutions. The convergence of the series, obtained in the first part, is improved for the complete region near and on the segmental line load. Numerical results are presented.

Effective widths of rectangular slabs stiffened along two opposite edges by prestressed edge beams

The present analysis is an attempt to determine the portion of a rectangular slab that is acting with its two parallel stiffening edge beams, through which prestressing loads are applied to the entire section, in resisting load. Employing the well known theories of bending of plates and beams, the constitutive equations governing the behaviour of this type of composite system are presented. In particular, the equation of compatibility of strains between the slab edges and the stiffening edge beams at their junctions is formulated. In doing this, the biaxial nature of the bending of the edge beams, ignored in earlier formulations [1], has been incorporated. The results of the present analysis show that, under transverse loading, the portion of the slab, called the effectiv width, that can be considered effective as a part of each of the stiffening edge beams in determining stresses and deflexions is not significantly different from that obtained for an unprestressed section or a simply reinforced section. The effective width of the slab when such a section is subjected to only prestressing loads however shows a significant difference. We conclude from this that a single table of effective widths could be adopted for design purposes when considering transverse bending of this type of composite system whether the section is prestressed or not. Typical stress distributions due to (i) prestress alone, (ii) transverse loading alone and (ii) combined prestress and transverse loading are presented to demonstrate that the present formulation is versatile enough to solve problems involving prestressed edge beams in this type of composite assembly.     

Force-displacement characteristics of simply supported beam laminated with shape memory alloys

As a preliminary step in the nonlinear design of shape memory alloy(SMA) composite structures,the force-displacement characteristics of the SMA layer are studied.The bilinear hysteretic model is adopted to describe the constitutive relationship of SMA material.Under the assumption that there is no point of SMA layer finishing martensitic phase transformation during the loading and unloading process,the generalized restoring force generated by SMA layer is deduced for the case that the simply supported beam vibrates in its first mode.The generalized force is expressed as piecewise-nonlinear hysteretic function of the beam transverse displacement.Furthermore the energy dissipated by SMA layer during one period is obtained by integration,then its dependencies are discussed on the vibration amplitude and the SMA’s strain(Ms-Strain) value at the beginning of martensitic phase transformation.It is shown that SMA’s energy dissipating capacity is proportional to the stiffness difference of bilinear model and nonlinearly dependent on Ms-Strain.The increasing rate of the dissipating capacity gradually reduces with the amplitude increasing.The condition corresponding to the maximum dissipating capacity is deduced for given value of the vibration amplitude.The obtained results are helpful for designing beams laminated with shape memory alloys.
