The free vibration of orthotropic rectangular thin plates with four free edges on two-parameter elastic foundations is studied by the symplectic superposition method. Firstly, by analyzing the boundary conditions, the original vibration problem is converted into two sub-vibration problems of the plates slidingly clamped at two opposite edges. Based on slidingly clamped at two opposite edges, the fundamental solutions of these two sub-vibration problems are respectively derived by the separation variable method of the corresponding Hamiltonian system, and then the symplectic superposition solution of the original vibration problem is obtained by superimposing the fundamental solutions of the two sub-problems. Finally, the symplectic superposition solution obtained in this study is verified by calculating the frequencies and mode functions of several concrete rectangular thin plates with four free edges.

Based on the method of separation of variables in Hamiltonian system and superposition method, the series expansion solution of the free vibration problem of orthotropic rectangular thin plates (ORTPs) with four clamped edges (CCCC) on two-parameter elastic foundation is obtained. The original vibration problem is decomposed into two subproblems with two opposite sides simply supported, and the general solution of each subproblem is obtained by using the expansion of symplectic eigenvectors. Then by superposing these two general solutions, the series expansion solution of the original problem is obtained. The advantage of this method is that the solution process is carried out in symplectic space, and the validity of variable separation and symplectic eigenvectors expansion ensures the rationality of the solution process, while avoiding the presetting of the solution form. Finally, the correctness of symplectic superposition solution obtained in this paper is verified by calculating three concrete examples of fully clamped rectangular thin plates.

Analytic bending solutions of free rectangular thin plates resting on elastic foundations, based on the Winkler model, are obtained by a new symplectic superposition method. The proposed method offers a rational elegant approach to solve the problem analytically, which was believed to be difficult to attain. By way of a rigorous but simple derivation, the governing differential equations for rectangular thin plates on elastic foundations are transferred into Hamilton canonical equations. The symplectic geometry method is then introduced to obtain analytic solutions of the plates with all edges slidingly supported, followed by the application of superposition, which yields the resultant solutions of the plates with all edges free on elastic foundations. The proposed method is capable of solving plates on elastic foundations with any other combinations of boundary conditions. Comprehensive numerical results validate the solutions by comparison with those obtained by the finite element method.

This paper firstly introduces a new general solution constructed by double trigonometric cosine series with supplementary terms for the bending and vibration analysis of orthotropic rectangular plates with four free edges on the Winkler foundation subjected to arbitrary vertical force. The general solution, which is fourth-order continuously differentiable with less undetermined coefficients, can be used to solve the bending and vibration problems of orthotropic rectangular plates on the Winkler foundation with various physical parameters requiring no classification and superposition. This makes the bending and vibration analysis of orthotropic rectangular plates with four free edges on the Winkler foundation more unified, simplified and regulated. This paper also gives a Series of analytical example to prove that the method is feasible.

A comprehensive analytical procedure based on the superposition method is described for establishing the free vibration frequencies and mode shapes of thin plates resting on rigid point supports and with attached masses. Effects of rotary inertia of the attached masses are incorporated into the analysis and are shown to be highly significant. Results of an extensive experimental program are reported and very good agreement is demonstrated between theory and experiment. The analytical procedure has application in numerous contemporary industrial problems, in particular, in the design of solar panels for space vehicles and in the field of electronic packaging.
