Good Agreement

In the present thick plate vibration theory, governing equations of force-displacement relations and equilibrium of forces are reduced to the system of three partial differential equations of motion with total deflection, which consists of bending and shear contribution, and angles of rotation as the basic unknown functions. The system is starting one for the application of any analytical or numerical method. Most of the analytical methods deal with those three equations, some of them with two (total and bending deflection), and recently a solution based on one equation related to total deflection has been proposed. In this paper, a system of three equations is reduced to one equation with bending deflection acting as a potential function. Method of separation of variables is applied and analytical solution of differential equation is obtained in closed form. Any combination of boundary conditions can be considered. However, the exact solution of boundary value problem is achieved for a plate with two opposite simply supported edges, while for mixed boundary conditions, an approximate solution is derived. Numerical results of illustrative examples are compared with those known in the literature, and very good agreement is achieved.

Elastodynamic Problem

The effect of non-homogenity and rotation on the free vibrations for elastodynamic problem of orthotropic hollow sphere is discussed. The free vibrations are studied on the basis of the linear elasticity. The determination is concerned with the eigenvalues of the natural frequency for mixed boundary conditions. The numerical results of the frequency equations are discussed in the presence and absence of non-homogenity and rotation. The computer simulated results indicate that the influence of non-homogenity and rotation in orthotropic material is pronounced.

Beam System

The study of the dynamic properties of beam structures is extremely important for proper structural design. This present paper deals with the free in-plane vibrations of a system of two orthogonal beam members with an internal elastic hinge. The system is clamped at one end and is elastically connected at the other. Vibrations are analyzed for different boundary conditions at the elastically connected end, including classical conditions such as clamped, simply supported, and free. The beam system is assumed to behave according to the Bernoulli-Euler theory. The governing equations of motion of the structural system in free bending vibration are derived using Hamilton's principle. The exact expression for natural frequencies is obtained using the calculus of variations technique and the method of separation of variables. In the frequency analysis, special attention is paid to the influence of the flexibility and location of the elastic hinge. Results are very similar with those obtained using the finite element method, with values of particular cases of the model available in the literature, and with measurements in an experimental device.

Practical Applications

Vibration behavior of structures with parallelepiped shape—including beams, plates, and solids—are critical for a broad range of practical applications. In this paper we describe a new approach, referred to here as the three-dimensional spectral-Tchebychev (3D-ST) technique, for solution of three-dimensional vibrations of parallelepipeds with different boundary conditions. An integral form of the boundary-value problem is derived using the extended Hamilton’s principle. The unknown displacements are then expressed using a triple expansion of scaled Tchebychev polynomials, and analytical integration and differentiation operators are replaced by matrix operators. The boundary conditions are incorporated into the solution through basis recombination, allowing the use of the same set of Tchebychev functions as the basis functions for problems with different boundary conditions. As a result, the discretized equations of motion are obtained in terms of mass and stiffness matrices. To analyze the numerical convergence and precision of the 3D-ST solution, a number of case studies on beams, plates, and solids with different boundary conditions have been conducted. Overall, the calculated natural frequencies were shown to converge exponentially with the number of polynomials used in the Tchebychev expansion. Furthermore, the natural frequencies and mode shapes were in excellent agreement with those from a finite-element solution. It is concluded that the 3D-ST technique can be used for accurate and numerically efficient solution of three-dimensional parallelepiped vibrations under mixed boundary conditions.
