Transverse vibration of rectangular plates elastically supported at points on edges

This paper studies transverse vibration of rectangular plates with two opposite edges simply supported, other two edges arbitrarily supported and free edges elastically supported at points. A highly accurate solution is presented for calculating inherent frequencies and mode shape of rectangular plates elastically supported at points. The number and location of these points on free edges may be completely arbitrary. This paper uses impulse function to represent reaction and moment at points. Fourier series is used to expand the impulse function along the edges. Characteristic equations satisfying all boundary conditions are given. Inherent frequencies and mode shape with any accuracy can be gained.     

Combined longitudinal with lateral bending of rectangular plates supported at points of corners

This paper discusses the problems of combined longitudinal with lateral bending of rectangular plates which are supported at four points of corners by means of the variational calculus. In the text the lateral bending and the stability of thin plates are also treated respectively.

NONLINEAR BENDING OF SIMPLY SUPPORTED RECTANGULAR SANDWICH PLATES

In this paper,fundamental equations and boundary conditions of the nonlinearbending theory for a rectangular sandwicl plate with a soft core are derived by meansof the method of calculus of variations.Then the nonlinear bending for a simplysupported rectangular sandwich plate under the uniform lateral load is investigated byuse of the perturbation method and a quite accurate analytic solution is obtained.     

Nonlinear bending of simply supported symmetric laminated cross-ply rectangular plates

Based on the von Kármán-type theory of plates,nonlinear bending problems of simplysupported symmetric laminated cross-ply rectangular plates under the combined action ofpressure and inplane load are investigated in this paper.The solution which satisfies thegoverning equations and boundary conditions is obtained by using the double Fourier seriesmethod.     

Buckling and vibration of non-ideal simply supported rectangular isotropic plates

Buckling and vibration of a rectangular isotropic plate which has non-ideal simply supported boundary conditions along one of its edges are investigated. It is assumed that one of the edges of the plate allows a small non-zero deflection and a small non-zero moment. Externally applied in-plane loads are considered to be parallel and perpendicular to the edge where non-ideal boundary conditions are present in the buckling problem. Analytical solutions of the buckling and vibration problems are obtained by using the Linshtead–Poincare perturbation technique. Improved buckling loads and natural frequencies are determined for various values of the aspect ratio of the plate.     

Vibrations and stability of a periodically supported rectangular plate immersed in axial flow

Vibrations and stability of a thin rectangular plate, infinitely long and wide, periodically supported in both directions (so that it is composed by an infinite number of supported rectangular plates with slope continuity at the edges) and immersed in axial liquid flow on its upper side is studied theoretically. The flow is bounded by a rigid wall and the model is based on potential flow theory. The Galerkin method is applied to determine the expression of the flow perturbation potential. Then the Rayleigh–Ritz method is used to discretize the system. The stability of the coupled system is analyzed by solving the eigenvalue problem as a function of the flow velocity; divergence instability is detected. The convergence analysis is presented to determine the accuracy of the computed eigenfrequencies and stability limits. Finally, the effects of the plate aspect ratio and of the channel height ratio on the critical velocity giving divergence instability and vibration frequencies are investigated.     

Large deflections of prestressed simply supported rectangular plates under uniform pressure

The von Kármán large deflection equations for laterally loaded rectangular plates are extended to include uniform prestresses parallel to the edges and are solved for uniform load and for edges which are simply supported against movement normal to the plane of the plate and which are either held or free to move as a rigid body in the plane of the plate. Calculated values of center deflection and maximum stress parameters are given as functions of the load parameter for plates of various aspect ratios.     

Vibrations of nonhomogeneous orthotropic rectangular plates with bilinear thickness variation resting on Winkler foundation

Free transverse vibrations of nonhomogeneous orthotropic rectangular plates with bilinear thickness variation resting on Winkler foundation are presented here using two dimensional boundary characteristic orthogonal polynomials in the Rayleigh-Ritz method on the basis of classical plate theory. Gram-Schmidt process has been used to generate orthogonal polynomials. The nonhomogeneity of the plate is assumed to arise due to linear variations in elastic properties and density of the plate material with the in-plane coordinates. The two dimensional thickness variation is taken as the Cartesian product of linear variations along the two concurrent edges of the plate. Effect of nonhomogeneity parameters, aspect ratio and thickness variation together with foundation parameter on the natural frequencies has been illustrated for the first three modes of vibration for four different combinations of clamped, simply supported and free edges correct to four decimal places. Three dimensional mode shapes for specified plate for all the four boundary conditions have been plotted. A comparison of results in special cases with published one has been presented.     

Accurate variational approach for free vibration of simply supported anisotropic rectangular plates

The Ritz method is one of the most elegant and useful approximate methods for analyzing free vibration of laminated composite plates. It is simple to use and also straightforward to implement. However, the Ritz method has its own difficulty in determining the natural frequencies of simply supported laminated anisotropic plates. This is caused by the fact that the natural boundary conditions in the vibration of anisotropic plates can never be exactly satisfied by a solution in a variables separable form. As a result, the calculated natural frequencies would be expected to converge to solutions a little higher than true ones. To overcome this difficulty, this paper presents a simple variational formulation with Ritz procedure in which all the natural boundary conditions are implemented in an averaging manner. It is revealed that the proposed method can produce lower upper bound solutions compared with the conventional Ritz method where the geometric boundary conditions can only be satisfied by the assumed deflection functions.     

Vibrations of shallow shells rectangular in the horizontal projection with two freely supported opposite edges

The exact mode shapes of linear vibrations of a shallow shell rectangular in the horizontal projection with two freely supported opposite edges are obtained. These shapes are used to construct a discretemodel of vibrations of a shallow shell in geometrically nonlinear deformation. The harmonic balance method is used to study the free and forced nonlinear vibrations under internal resonance. The Lyapunov stability of the obtained periodic vibrations is analyzed.
