Abstract The problems associated with maintaining truly fixed (zero displacement and slope) or simple (zero displacement and moment) boundary conditions in applications involving vibrating structures have led to the development of models which admit slight rotation and displacement at the boundaries. In this paper, numerical examples demonstrating the dynamics of a model for a circular plate with imperfectly clamped boundary conditions are presented. The latitude gained when using the model for estimating parameters through fit-to-data techniques is also demonstrated. Through these examples, the manner in which the model accounts for the physical manifestation of imperfectly clamped edges is illustrated, and issues regarding the use of the model in physical experiments are defined.

Abstract We study a nonlinear system of Riemann-Liouville fractional differential equations equipped with nonseparated semi-coupled integro-multipoint boundary conditions. We make use of the tools of the fixed-point theory to obtain the desired results, which are well-supported with numerical examples.

AbstractGeneral nonlinear high odd-order differential equations with Lidstone–Euler boundary conditions of second type are treated both theoretically and computationally. First, the associated interpolation problem is considered. Then, a theorem of existence and uniqueness of the solution to the Lidstone–Euler second-type boundary value problem is given. Finally, for a numerical solution, two different approaches are illustrated and some numerical examples are included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the proposed algorithms.

The transient dynamic response of an elastic circular plate subjected to a suddenly applied pressure is determined for several edge boundary conditions. The plate boundary is attached to a semi-infinite, radially rigid tube which is filled with an acoustic fluid, and pressure is applied to the in-vacuo side of the plate. The transient solution is determined by using a technique in which the plate is subjected to a periodic pressure function constructed of appropriately signed and time-shifted Heaviside step functions, and by relying on a physical mechanism which returns the plate and fluid near the plate to an unstrained state of rest between pulses. The plate response is presented for a number of radius-to-thickness ratios and edge boundary conditions when interacting with water. Comparisons are also made with solutions obtained using a plane wave approximation to the fluid field.

Rotating friction circular plates are the main components of a friction clutch. The vibration and temperature field of these friction circular plates in high speed affect the clutch operation. This study investigates the thermoelastic coupling vibration and stability of rotating friction circular plates. Firstly, based on the middle internal forces resulting from the action of normal inertial force, the differential equation of transverse vibration with variable coefficients for an axisymmetric rotating circular plate is established by thin plate theory and thermal conduction equation considering deformation effect. Secondly, the differential equation of vibration and corresponding boundary conditions are discretized by the differential quadrature method. Meanwhile, the thermoelastic coupling transverse vibrations with three different boundary conditions are calculated. In this case, the change curve of the first two-order dimensionless complex frequencies of the rotating circular plate with the dimensionless angular speed and thermoelastic coupling coefficient are analyzed. The effects of the critical dimensionless thermoelastic coupling coefficient and the critical angular speed on the stability of the rotating circular plate with simply supported and clamped edges are discussed. Finally, the relation between the critical divergence speed and the dimensionless thermoelastic coupling coefficient is obtained. The results provide the theoretical basis for optimizing the structure and improving the dynamic stability of friction clutches.

The researcher [1-10] proposed a method for computing the numerical solution to quasi-linear parabolic p.d.e.s using a Chebyshev method. The purpose of this paper is to extend the method to problems with mixed boundary conditions. An error analysis for the linear problem is given and a global element Chebyshev method is described. A comparison of various chebyshev methods is made by applying them to two-point eigenproblems. It is shown by analysis and numerical examples that the approach used to derive the generalized Chebyshev method is comparable, in terms of the accuracy obtained, with existing Chebyshev methods.

Abstract The problem of small-deflection theory applicable to plates of cylindrically aeolotropic material has been developed, and expressions for moments and deflections produced have been found by Carrier in some symmetrical cases under uniform lateral loadings and with different boundary conditions. The author has also found the moments and deflection in the case of an unsymmetrical bending of a plate loaded by a distribution of pressure of the form p = p0r cos θ, with clamped edge. The object of the present paper is to investigate the problem of the bending of a cylindrically aeolotropic circular plate of uniform thickness under a concentrated load P applied at a point A at a distance b from the center, the edge being clamped.

Here, we have studied the linear and nonlinear vibrations of a thin circular plate subjected to circularly, radially, and spirally moving transverse point loads. We follow Kirchoff’s theory and then incorporate von Kármán nonlinearity and employ Hamilton’s principle to obtain the governing equations and the associated boundary conditions. We solve the governing equations for the simply-supported and clamped boundary conditions using the mode summation method. Using the harmonic balance method for frequency response and Runge-Kutta method for time response, we solve the resulting coupled and cubic nonlinear ordinary differential equations. We show that the resonance instability due to a circularly moving load can be avoided by splitting it into multiple loads rotating at the same radius and angular speed. With the increasing magnitude of the rotating load, the frequency response of the transverse displacement shows jumps and modal interaction. The transverse response collected at the centre of the plate shows subharmonics of the axisymmetric frequencies only. The spectrum of the linear response due to spirally moving load contains axisymmetric frequencies, the angular speed of the load, their combination, and superharmonics of axisymmetric frequencies.

Needle insertion physical experiments are used as the ground truth for model validation and parameter estimation by measuring the needle defection and tissue deformation during the needle-tissue interactions. Hence parameter uncertainties can contribute experiment errors. To improve the repeatability and accuracy of such experiments, one-at-a-time (OAT) sensitivity analysis is used to study the impacts of the factors, such as stirring temperature, frozen time, thawing time during the process of making hydrogels as well as repeated path insertion and different puncture plane in the planer needle insertion experiments. The results show that the puncture plane has the greatest effect on the repeatability of needle insertion physic experiments, followed by repeated path insertion, while other factors have the least effect. The results serve to guide future experiment design for greater repeatability and accuracy.

This paper is to demonstrate that axisymmetric plate damping will suppress unbounded response of a stationary, elastic, circular plate excited by a rotating slider. Use of the method of multiple scales shows that the axisymmetric plate damping will suppress parametric resonances excited by slider stiffness and slider inertia at supercritical speed. In addition, the plate damping will increase the onset speed above which slider damping destabilizes the elastic circular plate. Moreover, numerical examples show that the plate damping could stabilize the plate/slider system at discrete rotation speeds above the onset speed.

A least-squares meshfree collocation method is presented. The method is based on the first-order differential equations in order to result in a better conditioned linear algebraic equations, and to obtain the primary variables (displacements) and the dual variables (stresses) simultaneously with the same accuracy. The moving least-squares approximation is employed to construct the shape functions. The sum of squared residuals of both differential equations and boundary conditions at nodal points is minimized. The present method does not require any background mesh and additional evaluation points, and thus is a truly meshfree method. Unlike other collocation methods, the present method does not involve derivative boundary conditions, therefore no stabilization terms are needed, and the resulting stiffness matrix is symmetric positive definite. Numerical examples show that the proposed method possesses an optimal rate of convergence for both primary and dual variables, if the nodes are uniformly distributed. However, the present method is sensitive to the choice of the influence length. Numerical examples include one-dimensional diffusion and convection-diffusion problems, two-dimensional Poisson equation and linear elasticity problems.
