In the present study, the nonlinear forced vibration of a rectangular plate is investigated analytically using modified multiple scales method for the first time. The plate is subjected to transversal harmonic excitation, and the boundary condition is assumed to be simply supported. The von Karman nonlinear strain displacement relations are used. The extended Hamilton principle and classical plate theory are applied to derive the partial differential equations of motions. This research focuses on resonance case with 3:1 internal resonance. By applying Galerkin method, the nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed into time dependent nonlinear ordinary differential equations, which are then solved analytically by modified multiple scales method. This proposed approach is very simple and straightforward. The obtained results are then compared with both the traditional multiple scales method and previous studies, and excellent compatibility is noticed. The effect of some of the main parameters of the system is also examined.

The three partial differential equations derived by Dr. E. Reissner2, 3 have been reduced to a fourth-order partial differential equation resembling that of the classical plate theory and to a second-order differential equation for determining a stress function. The general solution for the two partial differential equations has been applied to a simply supported plate with a constant load p and to a plate with two opposite edges simply supported and the other two edges free. Numerical calculations have been made for the simply supported plate and the results compared with those of classical theory. The calculations for a wide range of parameters indicate that the deviation is small.

In this article, a new analytical method for bending—stretching analysis of thick functionally graded (FG) rectangular plates is presented. Using this method, the governing equations of FG rectangular plates based on the first-order shear deformation or Mindlin plate theory are decoupled. Five coupled partial differential equations of the Mindlin FG plate are converted into two uncoupled partial differential equations in terms of transverse displacement and a new function. It is analytically shown that by introducing an equivalent flexural rigidity, the equations of FG rectangular plate become similar to those of the homogeneous isotropic plate. Solving these equations, the solutions are obtained for the FG rectangular plate with two opposite edges simply supported. A comparison of the present results with available solutions from previous studies is made and a good agreement can be seen. Also, the numerical results for stress and deflection of the FG rectangular plate with various boundary conditions are obtained.

Abstract This work aims to study nonlinear vibration of rotating composite laminated cylindrical shells under hygrothermal environment and radial harmonic excitation. Based on Love’s nonlinear shell theory, and considering the effects of rotation-induced initial hoop tension, centrifugal and Coriolis forces, the nonlinear partial differential equations of the shells are derived by Hamilton’s principle, in which the constitutive relation and material properties of the shells are both hygrothermal-dependent. Then, the Galerkin approach is applied to discrete the nonlinear partial differential equations, and the multiple scales method is adopted to obtain an analytical solution on the dynamic response of the nonlinear shells under primary resonances of forward and backward traveling wave, respectively. The stability of the solution is determined by using the Routh–Hurwitz criterion. Some interesting results on amplitude–frequency relations and nonlinear dynamic responses of the shells are proposed. Special attention is given to the combined effects of temperature and moisture concentration on nonlinear resonance behavior of the shells.

The nonlinear response of an infinitely long cylindrical shell to a primary excitation of one of its two orthogonal flexural modes is investigated. The method of multiple scales is used to derive four ordinary differential equations describing the amplitudes and phases of the two orthogonal modes by (a) attacking a two-mode discretization of the governing partial differential equations and (b) directly attacking the partial differential equations. The two-mode discretization results in erroneous solutions because it does not account for the effects of the quadratic nonlinearities. The resulting two sets of modulation equations are used to study the equilibrium and dynamic solutions and their stability and hence show the different bifurcations. The response could be a single-mode solution or a two-mode solution. The equilibrium solutions of the two orthogonal third flexural modes undergo a Hopf bifurcation. A combination of a shooting technique and Floquet theory is used to calculate limit cycles and their stability. The numerical results indicate the existence of a sequence of period-doubling bifurcations that culminates in chaos, multiple attractors, explosive bifurcations, and crises.

A mixed method for three-dimensional elasto-dynamic problems has been formulated which gives a complete choice in prescribing the boundary conditions in terms of either stresses, or displacements, or partly stresses and partly displacements. The general expressions for the responses of the elastic body have been derived in the form of transcendental partial differential equations of a set of initial functions, which can be evaluated in terms of the prescribed boundary conditions. The method so-formulated has been illustrated by applying it to the theory of plates. Only plates subjected to antisymmetric loads have been considered for illustration. Some examples of free and forced vibration of plates have been presented. Results are compared with solutions from existing theories.

The bending solutions of rectangular thick plate with all edges clamped and supported were investigated in this study. The basic governing equations used for analysis are based on Mindlin’s higher-order shear deformation plate theory. Using a new function, the three coupled governing equations have been modified to independent partial differential equations that can be solved separately. These equations are coded in terms of deflection of the plate and the mentioned functions. By solving these decoupled equations, the analytic solutions of rectangular thick plate with all edges clamped and supported have been derived. The proposed method eliminates the complicated derivation for calculating coefficients and addresses the solution to problems directly. Moreover, numerical comparison shows the correctness and accuracy of the results.

First presents a set of high order partial differential equations for elastic rectangular thick plate base on Mindlin theory. The high order partial differential equations were transformed to linear equations by the double finite integral transform method, and then arrives at the theoretical solution of elastic rectangular thick plate with four edges completely clamped support. Only the basic elasticity equations of the thick plate were used and it was not needed to first select the deformation function arbitrarily. Therefore, the solution in the paper is more reasonable. In order to proof the correction of formulations, the numerical results are also presented to comparing with that of the other references.

Abstract The nonlinear nonplanar response of cantilever inextensional metallic beams to a principal parametric excitation of two of its “exural modes, one in each plane, is investigated. The lowest torsional frequencies of the beams considered are much larger than the frequencies of the excited modes so that the torsional inertia can be neglected. Using this condition as well as the inextensionality condition, we develop a Lagrangian whose variation leads to the two integro-partial-differential equations of Crespo da Silva and Glynn. The method of time-averaged Lagrangian is used to derive four first-order nonlinear ordinary-differential equations governing the modulation of the amplitudes and phases of the two interacting modes. The modulation equations exhibit the symmetry property found by Feng and Leal by analytically manipulating the interaction coefficients in the modulation equations obtained by Nayfeh and Pai by applying the method of multiple scales to the governing integro-partial-differential equations. A pseudo arclength scheme is used to trace the branches of the equilibrium solutions and an investigation of the eigenvalues of the Jacobian matrix is used to assess their stability. The equilibrium solutions experience pitchfork, saddle-node, and Hopf bifurcations. A detailed bifurcation of the dynamic solutions of the modulation equations is presented. Five branches of dynamic (periodic and chaotic) solutions were found. Two of these branches emerge from two Hopf bifurcations and the other three are isolated. The limit cycles undergo symmetry-breaking, cyclic-fold, and period-doubling bifurcations, whereas the chaotic attractors undergo attractor-merging and boundary crises.
