Natural frequencies are important dynamic characteristics of a structure. Therefore, the exact solution pertaining to free vibration of stepped circular plate elastically restrained against rotation, translation, and internal elastic ring support resting on an arbitrary variable elastic foundation using Green Function is presented in this paper. Thus, an accurate and direct modeling technique is introduced for modeling stepped circular plate on an arbitrary variable elastic foundation with arbitrary boundary conditions and internal elastic ring support. The effect of the translational along with rotational support flexibilities, as well as, the elastic coefficient of Winkler foundation and other parameters are assessed. Finally, some numerical examples are shown in order to present the efficiency and simplicity of the Green Function in the new formulation.

THEORETIC SOLUTION OF RECTANGULAR THIN PLATE ON FOUNDATION WITH FOUR EDGES FREE BY SYMPLECTIC GEOMETRY METHOD

The theoretic solution for rectangular thin plate on foundation with four edges free is derived by symplectic geometry method. In the analysis proceeding, the elastic foundation is presented by the Winkler model. Firstly, the basic equations for elastic thin plate are transferred into Hamilton canonical equations. The symplectic geometry method is used to separate the whole variables and eigenvalues are obtained simultaneously. Finally, according to the method of eigen function expansion, the explicit solution for rectangular thin plate on foundation with the boundary conditions of four edges frees are developed. Since the basic elasticity equations of thin plate are only used and it is not need to select the deformation function arbitrarily. Therefore, the solution is theoretical and reasonable. In order to show the correction of formulations derived, a numerical example is given to demonstrate the accuracy and convergence of the current solution.

Closed-form solutions for free vibration of rectangular FGM thin plates resting on elastic foundation

This article presents closed-form solutions for the frequency analysis of rectangular functionally graded material(FGM) thin plates subjected to initially in-plane loads and with an elastic foundation. Based on classical thin plate theory, the governing differential equations are derived using Hamilton's principle. A neutral surface is used to eliminate stretching–bending coupling in FGM plates on the basis of the assumption of constant Poisson's ratio. The resulting governing equation of FGM thin plates has the same form as homogeneous thin plates. The separation-ofvariables method is adopted to obtain solutions for the free vibration problems of rectangular FGM thin plates with separable boundary conditions, including, for example, clamped plates. The obtained normal modes and frequencies are in elegant closed forms, and present formulations and solutions are validated by comparing present results with those in the literature and finite element method results obtained by the authors. A parameter study reveals the effects of the power law index n and aspect ratio a/b on frequencies.     

A meshless method of a thin plate

A meshless approach to analysis of arbitrary Kirchhoff plates by the local boundary integral equation(LBIE) method is presented. The method combines the advantageous features of, all the three methods: the Galerkin finite element method (GFEM), the boundary element method (BEM) and the element-free Galerkin method (EFGM). It is a truly meshless method, which means that the discretization is independent of geometric subdivision into elements or cells, but is only based on a set of nodes (ordered or scattered) over a domain in question. It involves only boundary integration, however, over a local boundary centered at the node in question; It poses no difficulties in satisfying the essential boundary conditions while leading to banded and sparse system matrices using the moving least square (MLS) approximations. It is shown that high accuracy can be achieved for arbitrary geometries for clamped and simply-supported edge conditions. The method is found to be simple, efficient, and attractive.

Fracture behavior of a bonded magneto-electro-elastic rectangular plate with an interface crack

In this paper the anti-plane problem for an interface crack between two dissimilar magneto-electro-elastic plates subjected to anti-plane mechanical and in-plane magneto-electrical loads is investigated. The interface crack is assumed to be either magneto-electrically impermeable or permeable, and the position of the interface crack is arbitrary. The finite Fourier transform method is employed to reduce the mixed boundary-value problem to triple trigonometric series equations. The dislocation density functions and proper replacement of the variables are introduced to reduce these series equations to a standard Cauchy singular integral equation of the first kind. The resulting integral equation together with the corresponding single-valued condition is approximated as a system of linear algebra equations which can be easily solved. Field intensity factors and energy release rates are determined numerically and discussed in detail. Numerical results show the effects of crack configuration and loading combination parameters on the fracture behaviors of crack tips according to energy release rate criterion. The study of this problem is expected to have applications to the investigation of dynamic fracture properties of magneto-electro-elastic materials with cracks.
