The problem of the flexural vibrations of a rectangular plate having arbitrary supports at both ends is investigated. The solution technique which is suitable for all variants of classical boundary conditions involves using the generalized two-dimensional integral transform to reduce the fourth order partial differential equation governing the vibration of the plate to a second order ordinary differential equation which is then treated with the modified asymptotic method of Struble. The closed form solutions are obtained and numerical analyses in plotted curves are presented. It is also deduced that for the same natural frequency, the critical speed for the system traversed by uniformly distributed moving forces at constant speed is greater than that of the uniformly distributed moving mass problem for both clamped-clamped and simple-clamped end conditions. Hence resonance is reached earlier in the uniformly distributed moving mass system. Furthermore, for both structural parameters considered, the response amplitude of the moving distributed mass system is higher than that of the moving distributed force system. Thus, it is established that the moving distributed force solution is not an upper bound for an accurate solution of the moving distributed mass problem.

The dynamic response to moving distributed masses of pre-stressed uniform Rayleigh beam resting on variable elastic Pasternak foundation is examined. The equation governing this problem is a fourth order partial differential equation with variable and singular co-efficients. To solve this cumbersome equation, the method of Galerkin approach is adopted to reduce the governing differential equation to a sequence of coupled second order ordinary differential equation which is then simplified further with modified asymptotic method of Struble. The more simplified equation is solved using the Laplace transformation technique. The closed form solutions obtained are analyzed in order to show the conditions of resonance, and to show that resonance is attained earlier in moving mass system than in the moving force system. The results in plotted graphs show that as the axial force, the rotatory inertia, foundation modulus and shear modulus increase, the deflection of the elastically supported non-uniform Rayleigh beam decreases in each case. The transverse deflections of the beam on variable Pasternak elastic foundation are higher under the action of moving masses than those when only the force effects of the moving load are considered. This implies that resonance is reached faster in moving mass problem than in moving force problem.

Abstract A new solution technique is developed for solving the moving mass problem for nonconservalive, linear, distributed parameter systems using complex eigenfunction expansions. Traditional Galerkin analysis of this problem using complex eigenfunctions fails in the limit of large numbers of terms because complex eigenfunctions are not linearly independent. This linear dependence problem is circumvented in the method proposed here by applying a modal constraint on the velocity of the distributed parameter system (Renshaw, 1997). This constraint is valid for all complete sets of eigenfunctions but must be applied with care for finite dimensional approximations of concentrated loads such as found in the moving mass problem. A set of real differential ordinary equations in time are derived which require exactly as much work to solve as Galerkin’s method with a set of real, linearly independent trial functions. Results indicate that the proposed method is competitive with traditional Galerkin’s method in terms of speed, accuracy and convergence.

In this paper, we study the solvability of a mixed problem for a high-order partial differential equation with fractional derivatives with respect to time, and with Laplace operators with spatial variables and nonlocal boundary conditions in Sobolev classes.

This papers deals with nonlinear vibrations of non-uniform beams with geometrical nonlinearities such as moderately large curvatures, and inertia nonlinearities such as longitudinal and rotary inertia forces. The nonlinear fourth-order partial-differential equation describing the above nonlinear effects is presented. Using the method of multiple scales, each effect is found by reducing the nonlinear partial-differential equation of motion to two simpler linear partial-differential equations, homogeneous and nonhomogeneous. These equations along with given boundary conditions are analytically solved obtaining so-called zero-and first-order approximations of the beam’s nonlinear frequencies. Since the effect of mid-plane stretching is ignored, any boundary conditions could be considered as long as the supports are not fixed a constant distance apart. Analytical expressions showing the influence of these three nonlinearities on beam’s frequencies are presented up to some constant coefficients. These coefficients depend on the geometry of the beam. This paper can be used to study these influences on frequencies of different classes of beams. However, numerical results are presented for uniform beams. These results show that as beam slenderness increases the effect of these nonlinearities decreases. Also, they show that the most important nonlinear effect is due to moderately large curvature for slender beams.

Three-dimensional elastic solution of a simply supported, transversely isotropic functionally graded rectangular plate is presented in this paper. Suppose that all elastic coefficients of the material have the same power-law dependence on the thickness coordinate. By introducing two new displacement functions, three equations of equilibrium in terms of displacements are reduced to two uncoupled partial differential equations. Exact solution for a second-order partial differential equation expressed by one of displacement functions is obtained and analytical solution for another fourth-order partial differential equation expressed by another displacement function is found by employing the Frobenius method. The validity of the present solution is first investigated. And the effect of the gradation of material properties on the mechanical behavior of the plate is studied through numerical examples.

The properties of functionally gradient materials (FGM) are closely related to porosity, which has effect on FGM's elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, density, etc. Based on the classical theory of thin plates and Hamilton principle, the mathematical model of free vibration and buckling of FGM porous rectangular plates with compression on four sides is established. Then the dimensionless form of the governing differential equation is also obtained. The dimensionless governing differential equation and its boundary conditions are transformed by differential transformation method (DTM). After iterative convergence, the dimensionless natural frequencies and critical buckling loads of the FGM porous rectangular plate are obtained. The problem is reduced to the free vibration of FGM rectangular plate with zero porosity and compared with its exact solution. It is found that DTM gives high accuracy result. The validity of the method is verified in solving the free vibration and buckling problems of the porous FGM rectangular plates with compression on four sides. The results show that the elastic modulus of FGM porous rectangular plate decreases with the increase of gradient index and porosity. Furthermore, the effects of gradient index and porosity on dimensionless natural frequencies and critical buckling loads are further analyzed under different boundary conditions with constant aspect ratio, and the effects of aspect ratio and load on dimensionless natural frequencies under different boundary conditions.

It is well known that a solution of the wave equationfor which u = ∂u/∂t = 0 initially outside a surface S0, vanishes at time t in the exterior of a surface St parallel to, and at normal distance ct from S0, so that the wave fronts of disturbances represented by the solutions of the wave equation obey the laws of geometrical optics. Analogous results hold for the solutions of any linear hyperbolic second-order partial differential equation with boundary value conditions of the ‘Cauchy’ type. But the wave fronts of solutions of problems in which some of the boundary conditions are of the type representing reflexion do not seem to have been treated, and in particular the case of diffraction, when there is a ‘shadow’, does not seem to have been considered at all.
