Vibration of a transversely isotropic,simply supported and layered rectangular plate

The propagator matrix method is used in this paper to study the vibration of a transversely isotropic, simply supported and layered rectangular plate. A new system of vector functions is constructed to deal with general surface loading, and general solutions and layer matrices of exact closed form are obtained in this system. The particular solution for forced vibration, and the characteristic equations for free vibration of various surface conditions are then obtained by simple multiplication of layer matrices. These results are presented in such a way that the dilatational and distortional modes of vibration are separated. As a special case of the layered plate, results for the corresponding homogeneous thick plate are also derived. They are presented in a very simple form, and contain the previous results for the static transversely isotropic and the dynamic isotropic plates.     

Non-axisymmetrical vibration of elastic circular plate on layered transversely isotropic saturated ground

The non-axisymmetrical vibration of elastic circular plate resting on a layered transversely isotropic saturated ground was studied.First,the 3-d dynamic equations in cylindrical coordinate for transversely isotropic saturated soils were transformed into a group of governing differential equations with 1-order by the technique of Fourier ex- panding with respect to azimuth,and the state equation is established by Hankel integral transform method,furthermore the transfer matrixes within layered media are derived based on the solutions of the state equation.Secondly,by the transfer matrixes,the general solutions of dynamic response for layered transversely isotropic saturated ground excited by an arbitrary harmonic force were established under the boundary conditions, drainage conditions on the surface of.ground as well as the contact conditions.Thirdly, the problem was led to a pair of dual integral equations describing the mixed boundary- value problem which can be reduced to the Fredholm integral equations of the second kind solved by numerical procedure easily.At the end of this paper,a numerical result concerning vertical and radical displacements both the surface of saturated ground and plate is evaluated.

The simply supported rectangular plate: An exact,three dimensional,linear elasticity solution

An exact three dimensional solution for the problem of a transversely loaded, simply supported rectangular plate of arbitrary thickness is presented within the linear theory of elastostatics. The solution, obtained in a semi-inverse fashion, satisfies all the boundary conditions of the problem in a pointwise manner and is in the form of a double Fourier sine series. The classical Navier solution for the problem is shown to be the limit of the present solution as the plate thickness aspect ratio approaches zero. It is noted that the solution presented provides a benchmark against which approximate theories of transversely loaded plates may be measured. The new elasticity solution also provides a heuristic basis for a novel theory of thick plates of arbitrary planform and edge support recently given by the author.     

The state vector methods for space axisymmetric problems in multilayered piezoelectric media

The state vector equations for space axisymmetric problems of transversely isotropic piezoelectric media are established from the basic equations. Using the Hankel transform, the state vector equations are reduced to a system of ordinary differential equations. An analytical solution of the problems in the Hankel transform space is presented in the form of the product of initial state vector and transfer matrix. The transfer matrices are given for the three distinct eigenvalues. Applications of the solutions are discussed. An analytical solution for the transversely isotropic semi-infinite piezoelectric media subjected to concerted point loads on the surface z=0 is presented in the Hankel transform space. Using transfer matrix and the continuity conditions at the layer interfaces, the general solution formulation of N-layered transversely isotropic piezoelectric media is given. A selected set of numerical solutions is presented for a layered semi-infinite piezoelectric solid.

The general solution of the electroelastic problem for a transversely isotropic hyperboloid of revolution is used to find the stress concentration near a hyperboloidal neck in a piezoceramic body subjected to bending. The solution is a sum of four partial solutions for the case where the forces and the normal component of the induction vector on the neck surface are equal to zero. Numerical examples are given for specific external loads and properties of the body. The stress components and normal component of the induction vector near the neck vertex are plotted as a function of the external load and neck curvature

Free axisymmetric vibration of FGM circular plates

Based on the three-dimensional theory, this work presents a direct displacement method to investigate the free axisymmetric vibration of transversely isotropic circular plates, whose material is functionally graded and properties obey the exponential law along the thickness direction of the plate. Under two boundary conditions, the solution satisfies all basic equations and the Corresponding boundary condition at every point. Thus, it is three-dimensional exact. Numerical examples are presented and compared with previous works. The present method can also be extended to the case of arbitrary distribution of the material properties along the thickness direction of the plate.     

Three-dimensional elasticity solution for bending of transversely isotropic functionally graded plates

This paper presents a three-dimensional elasticity solution for a simply supported, transversely isotropic functionally graded plate subjected to transverse loading, with Young’s moduli and the shear modulus varying exponentially through the thickness and Poisson’s ratios being constant. The approach makes use of the recently developed displacement functions for inhomogeneous transversely isotropic media. Dependence of stress and displacement fields in the plate on the inhomogeneity ratio, geometry and degree of anisotropy is examined and discussed. The developed three-dimensional solution for transversely isotropic functionally graded plate is validated through comparison with the available three-dimensional solutions for isotropic functionally graded plates, as well as the classical and higher-order plate theories.

Tension of a nonthin transversely isotropic plate with a noncircular cylindrical cavity

The three-dimensional stress state of a transversely isotropic plate with a nearly circular cylindrical cavity is examined. The cavity surface is subject to normal and tangential stresses and the plate is subject at infinity to tensile and shear forces. The problem is solved by expanding unknown functions into Fourier-Legendre series in the thickness coordinate and using the boundary-shape perturbation method. The equations and recurrence formulas needed to solve the problem in an arbitrary approximation are presented __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 42, No. 11, pp. 101–113, November 2006.     

Three-dimensional analytical solution for a rotating disc of functionally graded materials with transverse isotropy

Based on the basic equations for axisymmetric problems of transversely isotropic elastic materials, the displacement components are expressed in terms of polynomials of the radial coordinate with the five involved coefficients, named as displacement functions in this paper, being undetermined functions of the axial (thickness) coordinate. Five equations governing the displacement functions are then derived. It is shown that the displacement functions can be found through progressive integration by incorporating the boundary conditions. Thus a three-dimensional analytical solution is obtained for a transversely isotropic functionally graded disc rotating at a constant angular velocity.The solution can be degenerated into that for an isotropic functionally graded rotating disc. A prominent feature of this solution is that the material properties can be arbitrary functions of the axial coordinate. Thus, the solution for a homogeneous transversely isotropic rotating disc is just a special case that can be easily derived. An example is finally considered for a special functionally graded material, and numerical results shows that the material inhomogeneity has a remarkable effect on the elastic field.

An Exact Derivation from Three-Dimensions of the Linear Equations for the Bending of an Elastically Monoclinic Plate and Associated Three-Dimensional Solutions

The exact linear three-dimensional equations for a elastically monoclinic (13 constant) plate of constant thickness are reduced without approximation to a single 4th order differential equation for a thickness-weighted normal displacement plus two auxiliary equations for weighted thickness integrals of a stress function and the normal strain. The 4th order equation is of the same form as in classical (Kirchhoff) theory except the unknown is not the midsurface normal displacement. Assuming a solution of these plate equations, we construct so-called modified Saint-Venant solutions—“modified” because they involve non-zero body and surface loads. That is, solutions of the exact three-dimensional elasticity equations that exhibit no boundary layers and that are subject to a special set of body and surface loads that leave the analogous plate loads arbitrary.     

On asymmetric bending of functionally graded solid circular plates

Based on the three-dimensional elasticity equations, this paper studies the elastic bending response of a transversely isotropic functionally graded solid circular plate subject to transverse biharmonic forces applied on its top surface. The material properties can continuously and arbitrarily vary along the thickness direction. By virtue of the generalized England’s method, the problem can be solved by determining the expressions of four analytic functions. Expanding the transverse load in Fourier series along the circumferential direction eases the theoretical construction of the four analytic functions for a series of important biharmonic loads. Certain boundary conditions are then used to determine the unknown constants that are involved in the four constructed analytic functions. Numerical examples are presented to validate the proposed method. Then, we scrutinize the asymmetric bending behavior of a transversely isotropic functionally graded solid circular plate with different geometric and material parameters.     

Symmetrical contact problem of a thick transversely isotropic plate

The symmetrical problem of the contact between a spherical indenter and a thick transversely isotropic plate is solved using the techniques of the Hankel transform. Solutions are written as the sums of the associated half-space solution and plate thickness effect terms. The normalized normal contact stress and the surface radial stress are obtained and calculated numerically for both composite materials and metallic substances. The example materials give both real and complex characteristic roots. A general method of calculation is described to determine the maximum tensile radial stress and the maximum compressive normal contact stress.The plate thickness effects on the contact stress and on the tensile radial stress are shown to be increasingly important with decreasing thickness. The effects that the material anisotropy has on the magnification of the contact stress and the maximum tensile radial stress are clearly revealed in the numerical results presented. The effects of material anisotropy for the composite are compared to those for the metallic substances.

Static analysis of simply supported functionally graded and layered magneto-electro-elastic plates

In this article, static analysis of functionally graded, anisotropic and linear magneto-electro-elastic plates have been carried out by semi-analytical finite element method. A series solution is assumed in the plane of the plate and finite element procedure is adopted across the thickness of the plate such a way that the three-dimensional character of the solution is preserved. The finite element model is derived based on constitutive equation of piezomagnetic material accounting for coupling between elasticity, electric and magnetic effect. The present finite element is modeled with displacement components, electric potential and magnetic potential as nodal degree of freedom. The other fields are calculated by post-computation through constitutive equation. The functionally graded material is assumed to be exponential in the thickness direction. The numerical results obtained by the present model are in good agreement with available functionally graded three-dimensional exact benchmark solutions given by Pan and Han [Pan, E., Han, F., in press. Green’s function for transversely isotropic piezoelectric functionally graded multilayered half spaces. Int. J. Solids Struct.]. Numerical study includes the influence of the different exponential factor, magneto-electro-elastic properties and effect of mechanical and electric type of loading on induced magneto-electro-elastic fields. In addition further study has been carried out on non-homogeneous transversely isotropic FGM magneto-electro-elastic plate available in the literature [Chen, W.Q., Lee, K.Y., Ding, H.J., 2005. On free vibration of non-homogeneous transversely isotropic magneto-electro-elastic plates].
