APPROXIMATE SOLUTION FOR BENDING OF RECTANGULAR PLATES Kantorovich-Galerkin’s Method

This paper derives the cubic spline beam function from the generalized beam differential equation and obtains the solution of the discontinuous polynomial under concentrated loads, concentrated moment and uniform distributed by using delta function. By means of Kantorovich method of the partial differential equation of elastic plates which is transformed by the generalized function (δ function and σ function), whether concentrated load, concentrated moment, uniform distributed load or small-square load can be shown as the discontinuous polynomial deformed curve in the x-direction and the y-direction. We change the partial differential equation into the ordinary equation by using Kantorovich method and then obtain a good approximate solution by using Glerkin’s method. In this paper there ’are more calculation examples involving elastic plates with various boundary-conditions, various loads and various section plates, and the classical differential problems such as cantilever plates are shown.     

On buckling of cantilever rectangular plates under symmetrical edge loading

The stability of cantilever rectangular plates under the symmetrical edge loading will be studied in this paper by lite varialional calculus. We are going to find out the minimum critical loading for cantilever rectangular plates subjected to various edge loadings symmetrically on a pair of opposite free edges. We’ll discuss the least critical loadings when the buckling of rectangular plates acted on bv a pair of concentrated forces, uniformly distributed loads, locally uniform distributed loads, distributed loads in the form of triangle and a pair of concentrated couples occur respectively.     

Bending of a cantilever rectangular plate loaded discontinuously

The cantilever rectangular plates discussed previously are all loaded continuously. For example, the load may be either a uniform or a concentrated load at the free ledge of the plate. Now we go a step further to deal with the case of a discontinuously loaded rectangular cantilever plate. The problem to be solved will involve a concentrated load at the center of the plate, as shown in Fig. 1. The method of solution used is the same as before.

Solution of bending of cantilever rectangular plates under uniform surface-load by the method of two-direction trigonometric series

The bending of a cantilever rectangular plate is a very complicated problem in thetheory of plates.For a long time,there have been only approximate solutions for thisproblem by energy methods and numerical methods.since 1979,Prof.F.V.Chang of Tsing Hua University obtained,by the method ofsuperposition,a series of analytic solutions for cantilever rectangular plates under uniformload and concentrated load.In this paper,the two-direction trigonometric series is used to obtain the solution forthe bending of cantilever rectangular plates under uniform load.The obtained results arecompared with the results by the method of superposition.The comparison shows that theresults of these two methods are in good agreement,hence they are mutually confirmed to becorrect.

简支及悬臂箱梁在角隅轴向荷载作用下的翼板纵向应力

基于能量变分原理,拟定轴向荷载作用下箱梁的纵向位移函数,得到关于翼板剪切变形引起的位移差函数的基本微分方程,继而推导出箱梁翼板纵向应力表达式,并首次得出角隅轴向荷载作用下翼板出现应力不均匀分布的荷载及边界条件。通过对一模型箱梁进行计算,并与通用有限元软件ANSYS壳单元计算结果进行比较,验证了该方法和所推导公式的正确性。研究结果表明,当作用于简支箱梁截面角隅处的轴向荷载（合力无偏心）为集中或分布荷载时,翼板不产生纵向应力不均匀现象;当作用于悬臂箱梁截面角隅处的轴向荷载（合力无偏心）为集中荷载时,翼板不产生纵向应力不均匀现象,而当荷载轴向分布时,翼板将产生纵向应力不均匀现象。实际工程中,横力弯曲使悬臂箱梁产生剪力滞效应,这种效应会与轴向分布荷载产生的效应叠加,设计时对此应予以充分考虑。

Furthest reach of a uniform cantilevered elastica

A uniform elastic cantilever is subjected to a uniformly distributed load or a concentrated load at its tip. The angle of the fixed end with the horizontal is varied until the maximum horizontal distance (projection) from the fixed end to the horizontal location of the tip is attained. The beam is modeled as an inextensible elastica, and numerical results are obtained with the use of a shooting method. For the optimal solution (furthest reach), the tip is below the level of the fixed end. Experiments are conducted to verify the analysis for a heavy cantilever (i.e., only subjected to its self-weight).

Dynamics of cantilever plates and its hybrid vibration control

Applying Lagrange–Germain’s theory of elastic thin plates and Hamiltonian formulation, the dynamics of cantilever plates and the problem of its vibration control are studied, and a general solution is finally given. Based on Hamiltonian and Lagrangian density function, we can obtain the flexural wave equation of the plate and the relationship between the transverse and the longitudinal eigenvalues.Based on eigenfunction expansion, dispersion equations of propagation mode of cantilever plates are deduced. By satisfying the boundary conditions of cantilever plates, the natural frequencies of the cantilever plate structure can be given.Then, analytic solution of the problem in plate structure is obtained. An hybrid wave/mode control approach, which is based on both independent modal space control and wave control methods, is described and adopted to analyze the active vibration control of cantilever plates. The low-order(controlled by modal control) and the high-order(controlled by wave control) frequency response of plates are both improved. The control spillover is avoided and the robustness of the system is also improved. Finally, simulation results are analyzed and discussed.     

Non-linear analysis of unbraced frames of variable geometry

A non-linear analysis of unbraced, rigid-jointed, and elastically restrained (against rotation) portal frames of variable geometry is presented. The loading system consists of eccentric concentrated loads and a transverse uniformly distributed load. Among the important conclusions one may list the following: (a) symmetric portal frames, loaded symmetrically, buckle through a stable bifurcation (sway-buckling) from a symmetric bent equilibrium configuration, and (b) nonsymmetric portal frames do not buckle; their behavior is similar to that of imperfect cantilever columns.     

APPROXIMATE SOLUTIONS FOR TRANSIENT RESPONSE OF CONSTRAINED DAMPING LAMINATED CANTILEVER PLATE

The series composed by beam mode function is used to approximate the displacement function of constrained damping of laminated cantilever plates, and the transverse deformation of the plate on which a concentrated force is acted is calculated using the principle of virtual work.By solving Lagrange＇s equation, the frequencies and model loss factors of free vibration of the plate are obtained, then the transient response of constrained damping of laminated cantilever plate is obtained, when the concentrated force is withdrawn suddenly.The theoretical calculations are compared with the experimental data, the results show：both the frequencies and the response time of theoretical calculation and its variational law with the parameters of the damping layer are identical with experimental results.Also, the response time of steel cantilever plate, unconstrained damping cantilever plate and constrained damping cantilever plate are brought into comparison, which shows that the constrained damping structure can effectively suppress the vibration.
