Abstract The influence of rotatory inertia and shear deformation on the flexural vibrations of isotropic, rectangular plates is investigated. Three independent families of modes are possible when the edges are simply supported. Coupling of the modes is studied for the case of one pair of parallel edges free and the other pair simply supported. The development of the coupling is traced by means of a solution for elastically supported edges. Special attention is given to the higher modes and frequencies of vibration which are beyond the range of applicability of the classical theory of thin plates.

Abstract At high frequencies, the flexural vibrations of a plate are described very poorly by the classical (Lagrange) theory because of neglect of the influence of coupling with thickness-shear vibrations. The latter may be taken into account by inclusion of rotatory inertia and shear-deformation terms in the equations. The resulting frequency spectrum is given, in this paper, for the case of axially symmetric vibrations of a circular disk with free edges and is compared with the spectrum predicted by the classical theory.

Qualitative Effect

The influence of shear deformation and rotatory inertia on dynamic response of elastic rectangular plates subject to in-plane loads increasing with time is discussed using Mindlin’s plate theory. The qualitative effect of those factors on transverse displacements is estimated. It is shown that this effect becomes essential only if the plate is thick and the number of half-waves along the plate axes in the deformation mode is large.

Abstract An exact solution procedure is formulated for the free vibration and buckling analysis of rectangular plates having two opposite edges simply supported when these edges are subjected to linearly varying normal stresses. The other two edges may be clamped, simply supported or free, or they may be elastically supported. The transverse displacement (w) is assumed as sinusoidal in the direction of loading (x), and a power series is assumed in the lateral (y) direction (i.e., the method of Frobenius). Applying the boundary conditions yields the eigenvalue problem of finding the roots of a fourth order characteristic determinant. Care must be exercised to obtain adequate convergence for accurate vibration frequencies and buckling loads, as is demonstrated by two convergence tables. Some interesting and useful results for vibration frequencies and buckling loads, and their mode shapes, are presented for a variety of edge conditions and in-plane loadings, especially pure in-plane moments.

Approximate Solutions obtained by the method of collocation are presented for the lowest critical buckling load of an isosceles triangular plate loaded as shown in Fig. 1. Also, the fundamental frequency is given. The base of the triangle is simply supported and the other equal edges are clamped. The usual assumptions regarding the bending of thin plates are made. The governing differential equation for the plate loaded as shown in Fig. 1 is1where D is the plate stiffness, N is axial load per unit length, w is deflection, positive downward, and the quantities a and h are dimensions shown in Fig.1.

Solids that exhibit negative Poisson's ratio are called auxetic materials. This paper examines the extent of transverse shear deformation with reference to bending deformation in simply supported auxetic plates as a ratio of Mindlin-to-Kirchhoff plate deflection for polygonal plates in general, with special emphasis on rectangular plates. Results for square plates show that the Mindlin plate deflection approximates the Kirchhoff plate deflection not only when the plate thickness is negligible, as is obviously known, but also when (a) the Poisson's ratio of the plate is very negative under all load distributions, as well as (b) at the central portion of the plate when the load is uniformly distributed. Hence geometrically thick plates are mechanically equivalent to thin plates if the plate Poisson's ratio is sufficiently negative. The high suppression of shear deformation in favor of bending deformation in auxetic plates suggests its usefulness for bending-based plate sensors that require larger difference in the in-plane strains between the opposing plate surfaces with minimal transverse deflection.

Simply Supported

This paper contains an analysis of the free vibrations of uniformly pretwisted rectangular plates, utilizing the exact equations of classical shallow-shell theory. Specifically, solutions are given (a) for two opposite edges simply supported and the other two free, and (b) for all four edges simply supported. Numerical results obtained for case (b) are compared with previous results for the torsional vibrations of pretwisted beams. A simple frequency equation is obtained for case (b), permitting a detailed study of the effects of both pretwist and longitudinal inertia.

Displacement Mode

Free transverse vibrations of nonhomogeneous orthotropic rectangular plates of varying thickness with two opposite simply supported edges (y=0 and y=b) and resting on two-parameter foundation (Pasternak-type) have been studied on the basis of classical plate theory. The other two edges (x=0 and x=a) may be any combination of clamped and simply supported edge conditions. The nonhomogeneity of the plate material is assumed to arise due to the exponential variations in Young’s moduli and density along one direction. By expressing the displacement mode as a sine function of the variable between simply supported edges, the fourth order partial differential equation governing the motion of such plates of exponentially varying thickness in another direction gets reduced to an ordinary differential equation with variable coefficients. The resulting equation is then solved numerically by using the Chebyshev collocation technique for two different combinations of clamped and simply supported conditions at the other two edges. The lowest three frequencies have been computed to study the behavior of foundation parameters together with other plate parameters such as nonhomogeneity, density, and thickness variation on the frequencies of the plate with different aspect ratios. Normalized displacements are presented for a specified plate. A comparison of results with those obtained by other methods shows the computational efficiency of the present approach.
