Bending of annular sectorial Mindlin Plates using Kirchhoff results

This study is concerned with the elastic bending problem of a class of annular sectorial plates whose radial edges are simply supported. Exact bending relationships between the Mindlin plate results and the corresponding Kirchhoff plate solutions have been derived based on the concept of load equivalence. These bending relationships facilitate the deduction of thick (Mindlin) plate results from the corresponding classical thin (Kirchhoff) plate solutions, thus bypassing the need to solve the more complicated governing equations of thick plates. The correctness of the relationships is established by solving the bending problem of annular sectorial plates under a uniformly distributed load and comparing the results with existing thick plate solutions.

Flexural vibration analysis of an eccentric annular Mindlin plate

A weak-form quadrature element method is presented to study the flexural vibrations of an eccentric annular Mindlin plate. Typical combinations of boundary conditions are considered and the natural frequencies are obtained for both thin and moderately thick plates. All results are verified using the commercial computer code ANSYS. Excellent agreement is reached in all cases. Comparison of the present predictions with other available results for thin plates is also made.     

A two variable refined plate theory for the bending analysis of functionally graded plates

Bending analysis of functionally graded plates using the two variable refined plate theory is presented in this paper.The number of unknown functions involved is reduced to merely four,as against five in other shear deformation theories. The variationally consistent theory presented here has, in many respects,strong similarity to the classical plate theory. It does not require shear correction factors,and gives rise to such transverse shear stress variation that the transverse shear stresses vary parabolically across the thickness and satisfy shear stress free surface conditions.Material properties of the plate are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction with their distributions following a simple power-law in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents.Governing equations are derived from the principle of virtual displacements, and a closed-form solution is found for a simply supported rectangular plate subjected to sinusoidal loading by using the Navier method.Numerical results obtained by the present theory are compared with available solutions,from which it can be concluded that the proposed theory is accurate and simple in analyzing the static bending behavior of functionally graded plates.

Closed form solutions for free vibrations of rectangular Mindlin plates

A new two-eigenfunctions theory, using the amplitude deflection and the generalized curvature as two fundamental eigenfunctions, is proposed for the free vibration solutions of a rectangular Mindlin plate. The three classical eigenvalue differential equations of a Mindlin plate are reformulated to arrive at two new eigenvalue differential equations for the proposed theory. The closed form eigensolutions, which are solved from the two differential equations by means of the method of separation of variables are identical with those via Kirchhoff plate theory for thin plate, and can be employed to predict frequencies for any combinations of simply supported and clamped edge conditions. The free edges can also be dealt with if the other pair of opposite edges are simply supported. Some of the solutions were not available before. The frequency parameters agree closely with the available ones through pb-2 Rayleigh-Ritz method for different aspect ratios and relative thickness of plate.

Nonlinear bending of rectangular orthotropic plate with two free edges and the other edges having nonuniform rotational flexibility

this paper presents a series solution to von Kármán nonlinear equations of a rectilinearly orthotropic rectangular plate under the combined action of lateral load and in-plane tension with the titled edge restraints. In the formulation the edge moments are replaced by an equivalent pressure near the edges. Using generalized double Fourier series for the deflection and stress function, governing equations are reduced to an infinite set of algebraic equations for coefficients in these series. Numerical results for deflections, bending moments and in-plane forces are graphically presented for various values of aspect ratio and material properties and for different edge conditions.     

Homogenization-based method for bending analysis of perforated plate

Owing to the existence of distributed holes, it is difficult to solve the bending problem of perforated plates by the conventional finite element method. A homogenization-based method for this problem is presented in this paper. As an example, the bending analysis of a circular perforated plate with distributed step-wise cylindrical holes is made. The deflection and the fundamental frequency obtained by present method are in good agreement with experimental data, this implies that the method is effective. This project is supported by the National Natural Science Foundation (19602007) and National Outstanding Youth Foundation (19525206).

Three-dimensional free vibration analysis of multi-directional functionally graded piezoelectric annular plates on elastic foundations via state space based differential quadrature method

The three-dimensional free vibration analysis of a multi-directional functionally graded piezoelectric(FGP) annular plate resting on two parameter(Pasternak)elastic foundations is investigated under different boundary conditions. The material properties are assumed to vary continuously along the radial and thickness directions and have exponent-law distribution. A semi-analytical approach named the state space based differential quadrature method(SSDQM) is used to provide an analytical solution along the thickness using the state space method(SSM) and an approximate solution along the radial direction using the one-dimensional differential quadrature method(DQM).The influence of the Winkler and shear stiffness of the foundation, the material property graded variations, and the circumferential wave number on the non-dimensional natural frequency of multi-directional FGP annular plates is studied.     

Analytical solution for bending stress intensity factor in an orthotropic elastic plate containing a crack and subjected to concentrated moments

The problem of estimating the bending stress distribution in the neighborhood of a crack located on a single line in an orthotropic elastic plate of constant thickness subjected to out-of-plane concentrated moments is examined. Using classical plate theory and integral transform techniques, the general formulae for the bending moment and twisting moment in an elastic plate containing cracks located on a single line are derived. The solution is obtained in a closed form for the case in which there is a single crack in an infinite plate subjected to symmetric concentrated moments.

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.     

Elasticity solutions for free vibrations of annular plates from three-dimensional analysis

This article, examines the vibrational characteristics of annular plates by using the three-dimensional elasticity theory. It aims to raise the quality of the investigation beyond that provided by the two-dimensional plate theories by resorting to a full three-dimensional analysis. A polynomials–Ritz model based on sets of orthogonally generated polynomial functions to approximate the spatial displacements of the plates in cylindrical polar coordinates is presented. The model is then used to extract the full vibration spectrum of natural frequencies and mode shapes. The vibration responses due to the variations of boundary conditions and thickness are investigated. Frequency parameters and three-dimensional deformed mode shapes are presented in vivid graphical forms. The accuracy of the method is validated through appropriate convergence and comparison studies.     

Asymmetric vibrations and stability of a rotating annular plate loaded by a torque

The paper investigates transverse vibration of a thin annular plate clamped at its inner edge to a rigid shaft, while its outer edge is clamped to a rigid cylinder. The shaft and the outer edge of the plate are loaded by torques of the same intensity, but of opposite directions. The whole structure rotates at a constant angular speed. The solution has been determined using Galerkin’s method. The obtained results illustrate the impact of the torque, angular speed and inner and outer radia ratio to transverse asymmetric vibration frequency of the plate. Stability of the plate has been examined and critical values of angular speed and torque leading to the loss of stability of the plate have been determined. Some mode shapes have been drawn and the influence of torque and angular speed on nodal lines has been shown.
