Maximum frequency design of laminated plates with mixed boundary conditions

A layerwise optimization (LO) approach is extended to accommodate the finite element analysis for optimizing the free vibration behavior of laminated composite plates with discontinuities along the boundaries. The classical non-conforming finite element is modified to fit into the LO procedure and is used to calculate natural frequencies of symmetrically laminated plates. This combined LO-FEM approach is applied to laminated rectangular plates with combinations of free, simply supported and clamped edges along parts of the plate boundary. The fundamental frequency, an object function for the present study, is maximized by optimizing design variables that are a set of fiber orientation angles in the layers. For illustrative purpose nine examples of square and rectangular plates with various types of mixed boundary conditions are considered, and a comprehensive set of results are presented for the optimum fiber orientation angles and the maximum fundamental frequencies of the 8-layer and 24-layer plates.     

Three-dimensional vibration analysis of thick rectangular plates using Chebyshev polynomial and Ritz method

This paper describes a method for free vibration analysis of rectangular plates with any thicknesses, which range from thin, moderately thick to very thick plates. It utilises admissible functions comprising the Chebyshev polynomials multiplied by a boundary function. The analysis is based on a linear, small-strain, three-dimensional elasticity theory. The proposed technique yields very accurate natural frequencies and mode shapes of rectangular plates with arbitrary boundary conditions. A very simple and general programme has been compiled for the purpose. For a plate with geometric symmetry, the vibration modes can be classified into symmetric and antisymmetric ones in that direction. In such a case, the computational cost can be greatly reduced while maintaining the same level of accuracy. Convergence studies and comparison have been carried out taking square plates with four simply-supported edges as examples. It is shown that the present method enables rapid convergence, stable numerical operation and very high computational accuracy. Parametric investigations on the vibration behaviour of rectangular plates with four clamped edges have also been performed in detail, with respect to different thickness-side ratios, aspect ratios and Poisson’s ratios. These results may serve as benchmark solutions for validating approximate two-dimensional theories and new computational techniques in future.

DSC-Ritz element method for vibration analysis of rectangular Mindlin plates with mixed edge supports

Based on Mindlin's first-order shear deformable plate theory, a DSC-Ritz element method is developed for the free vibration analysis of moderately thick rectangular plates with mixed supporting edges. The rationale of the present approach is not only to apply the discrete singular convolution (DSC) delta type wavelet kernel as a trial function with the Ritz method, but also to incorporate the method in finite elements in order to handle the mixed boundary constraints. The approach is novel and flexible as it passes through a bottleneck of the global DSC-Ritz method in treating the kinematic supporting edges with assorted discontinuities. A series of numerical simulations for rectangular Mindlin plates with various edge support discontinuities, plate thicknesses and aspect ratios are presented. For verification, the vibration frequencies thus established are directly compared with those reported in the open literature. New sets of numerical results for several other cases of moderately thick plates with mixed simply supported, clamped and free edges are presented and discussed in detail.     

The bending,stability and vibrations of rectangular plates with free edges on elastic foundations

This paper discusses the problems of the bending, stability and vibrations of the rectangular plates with free boundaries on elastic foundations. In the present paper we select a flexural function, which satisfies not only all the boundary conditions of free edges but also the conditions at free corner points, and consequently we obtain a better approximate solution. The energy method is used in this paper.     

Exact solutions for variable-thickness inhomogeneous elastic plates under various boundary conditions

In this paper, an exact solution to the governing equations of the bending of a variable-thickness inhomogeneous rectangular plate is presented. The procedure is applicable to variable-thickness inhomogeneous rectangular plates with two opposite edges simply supported. The remaining ones subjected to a combination of clamped, simply supported, and free boundary conditions and between these two edges the plate may have varying thickness. The procedure is valuable in view of the fact that tables of deflections and stresses cannot be presented for variable-thickness inhomogeneous orthotropic plates as for uniform-thickness homogeneous isotropic plates even for commonly encountered loads because the results depend on the inhomogeneity coefficient and the orthotropic material properties instead of a single flexural rigidity. Numerical results, useful for the validation or otherwise of approximate solutions, are tabulated. The influences of the degree of the inhomogeneity, aspect ratio, thickness parameter and degree of non-uniformity on the deflections and stresses are investigated. This paper is partially supported by the Deanship of Scientific Research at King AbdulAziz University (Grant no. 172/427).     

Transversal vibrations of double-plate systems

This paper presents an analytical and numerical analysis of free and forced transversal vibrations of an elastically connected double-plate system. Analytical solutions of a system of coupled partial differential equations, which describe corresponding dynamical free and forced processes, are obtained using Bernoulli’s particular integral and Lagrange’s method of variation constants. It is shown that one-mode vibrations correspond to two-frequency regime for free vibrations induced by initial conditions and to three-frequency regime for forced vibrations induced by one-frequency external excitation and corresponding initial conditions. The analytical solutions show that the elastic connection between plates leads to the appearance of two-frequency regime of time function, which corresponds to one eigenamplitude function of one mode, and also that the time functions of different vibration modes are uncoupled, for each shape of vibrations. It has been proven that for both elastically connected plates, for every pair of m and n, two possibilities for appearance of the resonance dynamical states, as well as for appearance of the dynamical absorption, are present. Using the MathCad program, the corresponding visualizations of the characteristic forms of the plate middle surfaces through time are presented.The English text was polished by Keren Wang.     

Characteristic orthogonal polynomials in the study of transverse vibrations of nonhomogeneous rectangular orthotropic plates of bilinearly varying thickness

Effect of nonhomogeneity on the vibrational characteristics of thin orthotropic rectangular plates of bilinearly varying thickness has been studied using boundary characteristic orthogonal polynomials in the Rayleigh-Ritz method. The thickness variation is taken as the Cartesian product of linear variations along two concurrent edges of the plate. The orthogonal polynomials in two variables are generated using the Gram-Schmidt process. The nonhomogeneity of the plate material is assumed to arise due to linear variations in Young’s moduli, shear modulus and density of the plate with the in-plane coordinates. Numerical results have been computed for four different combinations of clamped, simply supported and free edges. Effect of thickness variation together with varying values of aspect ratio and nonhomogeneity on the natural frequencies is illustrated for the first three modes of vibration. Three dimensional mode shapes have been presented. Comparison has been made with the known results.     

FREE VIBRATION OF ANISOTROPIC RECTANGULAR PLATES BY GENERAL ANALYTICAL METHOD

According to the differential equation for transverse displacement function of anisotropic rectangular thin plates in free vibration, a general analytical solution is established. This general solution, composed of the composite solutions of trigonometric function and hyperbolic function, can satisfy the problem of arbitrary boundary conditions along four edges. The algebraic polynomial with double sine series solutions can also satisfy the problem of boundary conditions at four corners. Consequently, this general solution can be used to solve the vibration problem of anisotropic rectangular plates with arbitrary boundaries accurately. The integral constants can be determined by boundary conditions of four edges and four corners. Each natural frequency and vibration mode can be solved by the determinate of coefficient matrix from the homogeneous linear algebraic equations equal to zero. For example, a composite symmetric angle ply laminated plate with four edges clamped has been calculated and discussed.     

CHARACTERISTIC EQUATIONS AND CLOSED-FORM SOLUTIONS FOR FREE VIBRATIONS OF RECTANGULAR MINDLIN PLATES

The direct separation of variables is used to obtain the closed-form solutions for the free vibrations of rectangular Mindlin plates. Three different characteristic equations are derived by using three different methods. It is found that the deflection can be expressed by means of the four characteristic roots and the two rotations should be expressed by all the six characteristic roots,which is the particularity of Mindlin plate theory. And the closed-form solutions,which satisfy two of the three governing equations and all boundary conditions and are accurate for rectangular plates with moderate thickness,are derived for any combinations of simply supported and clamped edges. The free edges can also be dealt with if the other pair of opposite edges is simply supported. The present results agree well with results published previously by other methods for different aspect ratios and relative thickness.

A novel 2-D six-parameter power-law distribution for three-dimensional dynamic analysis of thick multi-directional functionally graded rectangular plates resting on a two-parameter elastic foundation

This paper is motivated by the lack of studies in the technical literature concerning to the three-dimensional vibration analysis of bi-directional FG rectangular plates resting on two-parameter elastic foundations. The formulations are based on the three-dimensional elasticity theory. The proposed rectangular plates have two opposite edges simply supported, while all possible combinations of free, simply supported and clamped boundary conditions are applied to the other two edges. This paper presents a novel 2-D six-parameter power-law distribution for ceramic volume fraction of 2-D FGM that gives designers a powerful tool for flexible designing of structures under multi-functional requirements. Various material profiles along the thickness and in the in-plane directions are illustrated using the 2-D power-law distribution. The effective material properties at a point are determined in terms of the local volume fractions and the material properties by the Mori-Tanaka scheme. The 2-D differential quadrature method as an efficient and accurate numerical tool is used to discretize the governing equations and to implement the boundary conditions. The convergence of the method is demonstrated and to validate the results, comparisons are made between the present results and results reported by well-known references for special cases treated before, have confirmed accuracy and efficiency of the present approach. Some new results for natural frequencies of the plates are prepared, which include the effects of elastic coefficients of foundation, boundary conditions, material and geometrical parameters. The interesting results indicate that a graded ceramic volume fraction in two directions has a higher capability to reduce the natural frequency than conventional 1-D FGM.
