This report describes a parametric approach for the stress analysis of orthogonally stiffened rectangular plates. The analysis assumes that the deflection of an orthogonally stiffened plate is approximated by a homogeneous orthotropic plate of a uniform thickness. Polynomial expressions for maximum deflection for two sets of boundary conditions (all edges clamped and two edges clamped–two edges simply supported) are presented in terms of plate geometry and loading (normal pressure and in-plane forces). A method for computing the stress is presented that permits stresses in the actual orthogonally stiffened plate (that generally does not have a uniform plate thickness) to be determined.

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.

Initial Geometric Imperfections

Abstract The authors present a rational analysis of the effect of initial geometric imperfections on the dynamic behaviour of rectangular plates activated by a parametric excitation. This subject has been extensively investigated theoretically in the past, but no experimental data seems to be complete enough to validate the theory. The main objective of this investigation is to fill this void by performing experimental tests on geometrically imperfect plates, and to highlight the geometric imperfection’s influence on resonance’s curves. The study is carried out for an isotropic, elastic, homogeneous, and thin rectangular plate. The plate under investigation is subjected to the action of an in-plane force uniformly distributed along two opposite edges, is initially stress free and simply supported. Theoretical calculation and experimental tests are performed. In the theoretical approach, a dynamic version of the Von Kármán non-linear theory is used to evaluate the lateral displacement of the plate. The test rig used in the experimentation simulates simply supported edges and can accept plates with different aspect ratio. The test plates are pre-formed with lateral deflection or geometrical imperfections, in a shape corresponding to various vibration modes. Comparison between experimental and theoretical results reveals good agreement and allows the determination of the theory’s limitations. The theory used correctly describes the behaviour of the plate when imperfection amplitude is inferior to the plate thickness.

SummaryThis paper presents a general procedure for calculating the natural frequencies of rectangular plates continuous over identical and equally spaced elastic beams which are simply-supported at their ends. Arbitrary boundary conditions are permissible on the other two edges of the plate. The results are compared with those obtained by using the orthotropic plate approximation for the system

Composite plates’ subjected to sudden surface heating is investigated. Simply supported boundary conditions along the four sides of the plat are considered. The effect of plate thickness and stacking sequence on the maximum deflection that is induced by the thermal heat flux for a graphite-epoxy composite plate is studied using finite element analysis. Symmetric angle ply laminates plate shows least deformation compared the other stacks of the same thickness.

Instability Regions

This investigation is concerned with the onset of parametric instability of a simply supported stiffened rectangular plate subjected to in-plane sinusoidal dynamic forces. An analytical analysis is developed for the stiffened plate with the stiffeners treated as discrete elements. The results show that the location and size of the stiffeners have a significant effect on the location and contour of the boundaries of the parametric instability regions when compared with those of a flat unstiffened plate. Experimental verification is obtained for stiffened plates with a single centrally located stiffener transverse to an in-plane periodic force acting on two opposite edges.

There are numerous applications of plate structures found in structural, aerospace and marine engineering. The present study extends the previous work by Amabili and Sirwan [1] investigating the performance of isotropic and laminate composite rectangular plates with different boundary conditions subjected to an external point force with an excitation frequency that lies in the neighbourhood of the fundamental mode of the plate. The analysis is performed using three different nonlinear plate theories, namely: i) the classical Von Ka´rman theory, ii) first-order shear deformation theory, and iii) third-order shear deformation theory. Three different boundary conditions are considered in the investigation: a) classical clamped boundary conditions, b) simply-supported ends with immovable edges, and c) simply-supported ends with movable boundaries. In addition, the effect of thickness was also considered in the analysis and different values for the plate thickness were assumed. The results investigate the accuracy of lower order theories versus higher order shear deformation theories, the effect of boundary conditions and highlight the differences in the responses obtained from isotropic and laminate composite rectangular plates.

Free Vibration Frequency

The paper researches the free vibration of a rectangular plate with one or more cracks. The plate thickness varies along the x-axis with linear rules. Using Shi's third-order shear deformation theory and phase field theory to set up the equilibrium equations, which are solved by finite element methods. The frequency of free vibration plates is calculated and compared with the published articles, the agreement between the results is good. Then, the paper will examine the free vibration frequency of plate depending on the change of the plate thickness ratio, the length of cracks, the number of cracks, the location of cracks and different boundary conditions
