Hamiltonian parametric element and semi-analytical solution for smart laminated plates

Based on the Hellinger-Reissner (H-R) mixed variational principle for piezoelectric material, a unified 4-node Hamiltonian isoparametric element of anisotropy piezoelectric material is established. A new semi-analytical solution for the natural vibration of smart laminated plates and the transient response of the laminated cantilever with piezoelectric patch is presented. The major steps of mathematical model are as follows: the piezoelectric layer and host layer of laminated plate are considered as unattached three-dimensional bodies and discretized by the Hamiltonian isoparametric elements. The control equation of whole structure is derived by considering the compatibility of generalized displacements and generalized stresses on the interface between layers. There is no restriction for the side-face geometrical boundaries, the thickness and the number of layers of plate by the use of the present isoparametric element. Present method has wide application area.

FLEXURAL WAVE PROPAGATION IN NARROW MINDLIN''''S PLATE

Appling Mindlin's theory of thick plates and Hamilton system to propagation of elastic waves under free boundary condition, a solution of the problem was given. Dispersion equations of propagation mode of strip plates were deduced from eigenfunction expansion method. It was compared with the dispersion relation that was gained through solution of thick plate theory proposed by Mindlin. Based on the two kinds of theories, the dispersion curves show great difference in the region of short waves, and the cutoff frequencies are higher in Hamiltonian systems. However, the dispersion curves are almost the same in the region of long waves.     

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the transient response of constrained damping of laminated cantilever plate is obtained, when the concentrated force is withdrawn suddenly.The theoretical calculations are compared with the experimental data, the results show：both the frequencies and the response time of theoretical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.

Modal analysis of cantilever plate flutter

This study illustrates the mechanism of modal coupling in cantilever plate flutter using the full Theodorsen airfoil theory within the linear framework. An accurate, pseudo-spectral method is employed to calculate the fluid loading and the eigenvalue problem is solved numerically following the Galerkin procedure. For plates with a structure-to-fluid mass ratio around unity, the first two in vacuo modes are dominant and the Kutta condition at the trailing edge plays a central role in the flutter mechanism. The fluid loading induced by the first mode excites significant second and higher order modes. The fluid loading on the second mode is coupled strongly with the structural vibration velocity of the first mode, which is identified as the main mechanism of energy transfer from flow to plate. It is demonstrated that the response of the second mode is suppressed and the plate is stabilized when a concentrated mass is added near the middle of the plate length. Theoretical prediction is supported by experimental data although the latter is affected by many practical factors that are difficult to model precisely.

Steady-state motion of a plate with a discontinuous mass

An “exact” solution employing the normal mode approach is presented for the steady-state motion of a plate of arbitrary shape and with arbitrary boundary conditions that is provided with a discontinuous mass. The plate is viscously damped and the excitation is furnished in the form of distributed and/or concentrated loads that vary sinusoidally. The rigid mass, which may act as a vibration damper, can be applied to any point in the structure. Experimental studies with a mechanical model corroborate the theoretical results. Results of the analysis are applied to cantilever and simply-supported square plates subjected to base excitation and discrete loads. The effects of all system parameters, including damper location and mass ratio, mode shapes, viscous damping, and excitation frequency are determined. It is found that the system under consideration is an efficient device for reducing the vibration of plates, particularly cantilevered ones.

FREE VIBRATION OF FUNCTIONALLY GRADED,MAGNETO-ELECTRO-ELASTIC, AND MULTILAYERED PLATES

The state-space method is employed to evaluate the modal parameters of functionally graded, magneto-electro-elastic, and multilayered plates. Based on the assumption that the properties of the functionally graded material are exponential, the state equation of structural vibration which takes the displacement and stress of the structure as state variables is derived. The natural frequencies and modal shapes are calculated based on the general solutions of the state equation and boundary conditions given in this paper. The influence of the functionally graded exponential factor on the elastic displacement, electric, and magnetic fields of the structure are discussed by assuming a sandwich plate model with different stacking sequences.     

Virtual testing for modal and damping ratio identification of submerged structures using the PolyMAX algorithm with two-way fluid–structure Interactions

Based on the powerful Computational Structural Dynamics method coupled to a Computational Fluid Dynamics approach, the PolyMAX algorithm is used along with the simulation of two-way fluid–structure interactions, as a new virtual testing method for estimating the structural modal parameters and damping ratios of a vibrating structure in either air or some other fluid. The viscosity and motion of fluid are accounted for, as are the shape of the flow passage and a variety of boundary conditions. The method is shown to be able to simulate the vibration of a structure within a real operating environment in which the structure experiences a specified excitation load while the vibration responses of the structure are obtained through a two-way FSI model. Based on the PolyMAX method for estimating the modal parameters, these vibration responses are processed and analyzed. Finally, the dynamic parameters (i.e., the natural frequencies and the damping ratios) of the vibrating structure are identified. For validation, the natural frequencies and damping ratios of two simple submerged cantilever plates were simulated both in air and water and the simulated results were found to agree closely with experimental data.     

On the symplectic superposition method for free vibration of rectangular thin plates with mixed boundary constraints on an edge

A novel symplectic superposition method has been proposed and developed for plate and shell problems in recent years. The method has yielded many new analytic solutions due to its rigorousness. In this study, the first endeavor is made to further developed the symplectic superposition method for the free vibration of rectangular thin plates with mixed boundary constraints on an edge. The Hamiltonian system-based governing equation is first introduced such that the mathematical techniques in the symplectic space are applied. The solution procedure incorporates separation of variables, symplectic eigen solution and superposition. The analytic solution of an original problem is finally obtained by a set of equations via the equivalence to the superposition of some elaborated subproblems. The natural frequency and mode shape results for representative plates with both clamped and simply supported boundary constraints imposed on the same edge are reported for benchmark use. The present method can be extended to more challenging problems that cannot be solved by conventional analytic methods.     

Free vibration of carbon nanotube reinforced composite plate on point Supports using Lagrangian multipliers

Chebyshev polynomial functions are used in the Lagrangian multipliers method to study the free vibration characteristics of rectangular moderately thick composite plates reinforced with carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Plate is resting on point supports. Distribution of CNTs across the plate thickness is considered to be either uniform or functionally graded. Properties of the plate are obtained using a refined rule of mixtures approach which includes the efficiency parameters to capture the size dependent characteristics of the composite plate. Using a Ritz solution method, an eigenvalue problem is established which results in natural frequencies and mode shapes of the plate. Based on the developed solution method, number and position of point supports are arbitrary and also various boundary conditions may be assumed for the four edges of the plate. After performing comparison studies for isotropic homogeneous plates on point supports, parametric studies are provided to explore the vibration characteristics of the carbon nanotube reinforced composite plates on point supports. It is shown that, frequencies of the plate increase as the volume fraction of CNTs increases.

At last, the results are analyzed and discussed.

Time-domain computation of the response of composite layered anisotropic plates to a localized source

This paper describes how a modal approach in the time-domain can be suitable for calculating the elastodynamic field in a layered plate. This elastodynamic field is generated by impulsive sources located in a small region of a composite plate consisting of anisotropic layers stuck together. The aim is to calculate the transient response of the elastic plate around the location of the sources, generally emitting n$n$-cycle pulses. First, we apply a 2D Fourier transform to the wave equation with respect to the coordinates in the plate plane, and then, in the 2D spectrum domain, for any given wave-vector in the plate plane, solving a vibration problem with respect to time and position in the direction perpendicular to the plate. The solution is expressed as the sum of mode responses, each mode having a resonance frequency and a shape which depend on the wave-vector in the plate plane.
