SummaryThe basis of the procedure described in the paper is the replacement of the stiffeners by an approximately equivalent system of line springs. One of two methods may then be used to determine the natural frequencies. A rectangular plate with edge stiffeners, point-supported at the four corners, is used to demonstrate the application of the Rayleigh-Ritz method. Numerical results obtained are compared with known approximate solutions based on finite difference equations. A Holzer-type iteration is employed in the case of a plate with parallel stiffeners, where the two edges perpendicular to the stiffeners are simply supported, the other two edges having any combination of conditions.

This study investigates the dynamic behaviour of plates crossed by distributed moving gravitational and inertial loads, in the case in which the relative magnitude of the moving mass introduces a coupling effect with the structure, with possible applications to the vibration analysis of railway bridges. A rectangular Kirchhoff plate is considered, simply supported on two opposite edges and free on the other two edges, loaded by a partially distributed mass travelling in the parallel direction with respect to the free edges. The formulation includes damping, and it is accomplished by the Rayleigh–Ritz method, expressing the solution in semi-analytical form. The shape functions for describing the transverse displacement field of the plate are selected as tensor products of linearly independent eigenfunctions of homogeneous uniform beams in flexural vibration, yielding a low-order model with time-dependent coefficients. Numerical examples are then presented and discussed, aimed at investigating the effects of each of the model governing parameters.

This paper presents a theoretical analysis for the hydroelastic vibration of a rectangular tank partially filled with an ideal liquid. The wet dynamic displacement of the tank is approximated by combining the orthogonal polynomials satisfying the simply supported boundary conditions, since the rectangular tank is composed of four rectangular plates. As the facing rectangular plates are geometrically identical, the vibration modes of the facing plates can be divided into two categories: symmetric modes and asymmetric modes with respect to the vertical centerlines of the plates. The liquid displacement potential satisfying the boundary conditions is derived and the wet dynamic modal functions of the four plates are expanded by the finite Fourier transformation for a compatibility requirement along the contacting surface between the tank and the liquid. The natural frequencies of the rectangular tank in the wet condition are calculated by using the Rayleigh-Ritz method. The proposed analytical method is verified by observing an excellent agreement with three-dimensional finite element analysis results.

An analysis and numerical results are presented for buckling and transverse vibration of orthotropic nonhomogeneous rectangular plates of variable thickness using two dimensional boundary characteristic orthogonal polynomials in the Rayleigh–Ritz method on the basis of classical plate theory when uniformly distributed in-plane loading is acting at two opposite edges clamped/simply supported. The 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 various plate parameters such as nonhomogeneity parameters, aspect ratio together with thickness variation, and in-plane load 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 a specified plate for all the four boundary conditions have been plotted. By allowing the frequency to approach zero, the critical buckling loads in compression for various values of plate parameters have been computed correct to six significant digits. A comparison of results with those available in the literature has been presented.

An investigation into the vibration analysis of a class of in-plane loaded rectangular plates with internal supports of arbitrary contour is conducted. Solutions to this vibration problem are obtained based on the pb-2 Rayleigh-Ritz method. The Ritz function for this method is defined as the product of (1) a two-dimensional polynomial function expanded in a new manner, (2) equations of the internal support and (3) equations of the boundary supports each raised to the power of either 0, 1, or 2 corresponding to a free, simply supported or clamped edge, respectively. A comparison study on the convergence between the proposed set of polynomials and mathematically complete set of polynomials is conducted. The simplicity and accuracy of the method are demonstrated by analyzing square plates with either two intersecting internal line supports or a central ring support. The influence of the in-plane loads on the natural frequencies will be studied. Note that this paper presents some first known solutions to in-plane loaded rectangular plates with internal supports of arbitrary contour. The mode shapes for these plates are also presented in contour plots.

Natural frequencies of free flexural vibration of rectangular plates may, in many cases, be considerably increased by attaching to the plate one or more elastic stiffening ribs parallel to one edge, or by casting or machining the plate and stiffeners integrally.Hoppmann has determined by a semi-empirical method the natural frequencies of an integrally stiffened simply-supported square plate, using the concept of a homogeneous orthotropic plate of uniform thickness having elastic compliances which are equivalent to those of the stiffened plate. Filippov has obtained the exact solution for the fundamental frequency of a simply-supported square plate having a number of equally spaced stiffeners and has considered the effect of point loads applied to the stiffeners in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the plate.
