The present paper achieves a semianalytical solution for the buckling and vibration of isotropic rectangular plates. Two opposite edges of plate are simply supported and others are either free, simply supported, or clamped restrained against rotation. The general Levy type solution and strip technique are employed with transition matrix method to develop a semianalytical approach for analyzing the buckling and vibration of rectangular plates. The present analytical approach depends on reducing the strips number of the decomposed domain of plate without escaping the results accuracy. For this target, the transition matrix is expressed analytically as a series with sufficient truncation numbers. The effect of the uni-axial and bi-axial in-plane forces on the natural frequency parameters and mode shapes of restrained plate is studied. The critical buckling of rectangular plate under compressive in-plane forces is also examined. Analytical results of buckling loads and vibration frequencies are obtained for various types of boundary conditions. The influences of the aspect ratios, buckling forces, and coefficients of restraint on the buckling and vibration behavior of rectangular plates are investigated. The presented analytical results may serve as benchmark solutions for such plates. The convergence and efficiency of the present technique are demonstrated by several numerical examples compared with those available in the published literature. The results show fast convergence and stability in good agreement with compressions.

A previous paper (1)∗described an analysis for plates that made use of non-linear large-deflection theory. The results of the analysis were compared with measurements of deflections and stresses in simply supported rectangular plates. In this paper the analysis has been used to calculate the stresses and deflections for clamped-edge plates and these have been compared with measurements made on plates of various aspect ratios. Good agreement has been obtained for the maximum values of these stresses and deflections. These maximum values have been plotted in such a form as to be easily usable by the designer of pressure-loaded clamped-edge rectangular plates.

Means of solving the non-linear differential equations of plate bending are revieweed and a method based on minimizing the corresponding energy integral is selected as offering most advantages. The energy intergral can be approximated either by using finite-difference approximatons or by assuming a form of displacement variation. Two sets of non-linear algebraic equations (in the in-plane and out-of-plane deflections) are thus formed and, by substitution alternately in each set, the resulting linear equations are solved. Results for simply supported rectangular plates have been worked out in some detail; these are compared with tests made on plates of various aspect ratios. Good agreement on maximum values of stress and deflection was obtained.

This paper is concerned with the elastic buckling of uniaxially/biaxially loaded rectangular plates with an internal hinge and two opposite sides simply supported. The buckling problem is solved analytically using the Levy method. The exact buckling solutions furnished by the Levy method provide benchmark solutions for such plates with an internal hinge. Extensive buckling results are presented for plates of a wide range of aspect ratios, hinge locations and in-plane loading configurations. Based on these results, the buckling behaviour of plates with an internal hinge may be observed with respect to the aforementioned design parameters.

Edge Conditions

This paper presents exact solutions for the free vibrations and buckling of rectangular plates having two opposite, simply supported edges subjected to linearly varying normal stresses causing pure in-plane moments, the other two edges being free. Assuming displacement functions which are sinusoidal in the direction of loading (x), the simply supported edge conditions are satisfied exactly. With this the differential equation of motion for the plate is reduced to an ordinary one having variable coefficients (in y). This equation is solved exactly by assuming power series in y and obtaining its proper coefficients (the method of Frobenius). Applying the free edge boundary conditions at y=0, b yields a fourth order characteristic determinant for the critical buckling moments and vibration frequencies. Convergence of the series is studied carefully. Numerical results are obtained for the critical buckling moments and some of their associated mode shapes. Comparisons are made with known results from less accurate one-dimensional beam theory. Free vibration frequency and mode shape results are also presented. Because the buckling and frequency parameters depend upon the Poisson's ratio (ν), results are shown for 0≤ν≤0.5, valid for isotropic materials.

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.

The present work analyses the buckling and vibration behaviour of non-homogeneous rectangular plates of uniform thickness on the basis of classical plate theory when the two opposite edges are simply supported and are subjected to linearly varying in-plane force. For non-homogeneity of the plate material it is assumed that young's modulus and density of the plate material vary exponentially along axial direction. The governing partial differential equation of motion of such plates has been reduced to an ordinary differential equation using the sine function for mode shapes between the simply supported edges. This resulting equation has been solved numerically employing differential quadrature method for three different combinations of clamped, simply supported and free boundary conditions at the other two edges. The effect of various parameters has been studied on the natural frequencies for the first three modes of vibration. Critical buckling loads have been computed. Three dimensional mode shapes have been presented. Comparison has been made with the known results.

An analysis and numerical results are presented for buckling and transverse vibration of orthotropic nonhomogeneous rectangular plates of variable thickness using two dimensional boundary characteristic orthogonal polynomials in the Rayleigh–Ritz method on the basis of classical plate theory when uniformly distributed in-plane loading is acting at two opposite edges clamped/simply supported. The Gram–Schmidt process has been used to generate orthogonal polynomials. The nonhomogeneity of the plate is assumed to arise due to linear variations in elastic properties and density of the plate material with the in-plane coordinates. The two dimensional thickness variation is taken as the Cartesian product of linear variations along the two concurrent edges of the plate. Effect of various plate parameters such as nonhomogeneity parameters, aspect ratio together with thickness variation, and in-plane load on the natural frequencies has been illustrated for the first three modes of vibration for four different combinations of clamped, simply supported, and free edges correct to four decimal places. Three dimensional mode shapes for a specified plate for all the four boundary conditions have been plotted. By allowing the frequency to approach zero, the critical buckling loads in compression for various values of plate parameters have been computed correct to six significant digits. A comparison of results with those available in the literature has been presented.

This paper considers linear free vibrations of thin isotropic rectangular plates with combinations of the classical boundary conditions of simply supported, clamped and free edges and the mathematically possible condition of guided edges. The total number of plate configurations with the classical boundary conditions are known to be twenty-one. The inclusion of the guided edge condition gives rise to an additional thirty-four plate configurations. Of these additional cases, twenty-one cases have exact solutions for which frequency equations in explicit or transcendental form may be obtained. The frequency equations of these cases are given and, for each case, results of the first nine mode frequencies are tabulated for a range of the plate aspect ratios.

This paper presents a theoretical model on the vibration analysis of micro scale fluid-loaded rectangular isotropic plates, based on the Lamb’s assumption of fluid-structure interaction and the Rayleigh-Ritz energy method. An analytical solution for this model is proposed, which can be applied to most cases of boundary conditions. The dynamical experimental data of a series of microfabricated silicon plates are obtained using a base-excitation dynamic testing facility. The natural frequencies and mode shapes in the experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical simulations for the lower order modes. The presented theoretical and experimental investigations on the vibration characteristics of the micro scale plates are of particular interest in the design of microplate based biosensing devices.
