Accurate free vibration frequencies and mode shapes are presented for complete sets of moderately thick, cantilevered skew plates of triangular, trapezoidal and parallelogram shape. These accurate results are obtained by using the Ritz method applied to the Mindlin plate theory. Two sets of functions are employed simultaneously for each of the three dependent variables: transverse displacement (w) and bending rotations (ϕx and ϕy). One set is the widely used algebraic polynomials. The other is the set of corner functions which provide the proper stress singularities in the reentrant clamped-free corner, and accelerates the convergence of the solutions. The extensive frequencies presented are exact to the four digits shown. Corresponding mode shapes are also shown, by means of nodal patterns, most of which are novel in the published literature.

The effect of imperfect interface on the coupled extensional and flexural motions in a two-layer elastic plate is investigated from views of theoretical analysis and numerical simulations. A set of full two-dimensional equations is obtained based on Mindlin plate theory and shear-slip model, which concerns the interface elasticity and tangential discontinuous displacements across the bonding imperfect interface. Some numerical examples are processed, including the propagation of straight-crested waves in an unbounded plate, the buckling of a finite plate, as well as the deflection of a finite plate under uniform load. It is revealed that the bending-evanescent wave in the composites with a perfect interface eventually cuts-on to a propagating shear-like wave with cutoff frequency when the two sublayers imperfectly bonded. The similar phenomenon has been verified once again for coupled face-shear and thickness-shear waves. It also has been pointed out that the interfacial parameter has a great influence on the performance of static buckling, in which the outcome can be reduced to classical buckling load of a simply supported plate when the interface is perfect.

Transverse displacement and rotation eigenfunctions for the bending of moderately thick plates are derived for the Mindlin plate theory so as to satisfy exactly the differential equations of equilibrium and the boundary conditions along two intersecting straight edges. These eigenfunctions are in some ways similar to those derived by Max Williams for thin plates a half century ago. The eigenfunctions are called “corner functions,” for they represent the state of stress currently in sharp corners, demonstrating the singularities that arise there for larger angles. The corner functions, together with others, may be used with energy approaches to obtain accurate results for global behavior of moderately thick plates, such as static deflections, free vibration frequencies, buckling loads, and mode shapes. Comparisons of Mindlin corner functions with those of thin-plate theory are made in this work, and remarkable differences are found.
