AbstractThe application of FEM is shown for free vibration analysis of moderately thick laminated composite plates with edges elastically restrained against translation and rotation. The governing equations employed are based on the first order shear deformation theory including the effects of rotary inertia. Several combinations of translational and rotational elastic edge constraints are considered. Convergence study with respect to the number of nodes has been carried out and the results are compared with those from past investigations available only for simpler problems. Angle-ply and cross-ply laminates with different thickness-to-length ratios are examined. Comparisons are made with results for thin as well as moderately thick laminated plates.

Abstract Free vibration analysis is conducted on axially functionally graded Euler-Bernoulli beam resting on variable Pasternak foundation. The material properties of the beam and the stiffness of the foundation are considered to be varying linearly along the axial direction. Two types of boundary conditions namely; clamped and simply supported are used in the analysis. The problem is formulated using Rayleigh-Ritz method and governing equations are derived with the help of Hamilton’s principle. The numerical results are generated for different material gradation parameter, foundation parameter and boundary conditions and the effect of these parameters on the free vibration behaviour of the beam is discussed.
