A three-dimensional (3D) electric–elastic analysis of multilayered two-dimensional decagonal quasicrystal (QC) circular plates with simply supported or clamped boundary conditions is presented through a state vector approach. Both perfect and imperfect bonds between the layers are considered by adjusting the parameter sets in the model. Governing equations for the plates subjected to electric or elastic load on the bottom surfaces are derived using the state equations and the propagator matrix method. We explicitly obtain the analytical solution by writing the physical variables as Bessel series expansions and polynomial functions with respect to the radial coordinate. The solution is validated by comparing the numerical results with the 3D finite element analysis. The basic physical quantities of the plates in the phonon, phason, and electric fields are computed in the numerical examples. Result shows that the QC layers as coatings decrease the deflection in the phonon and phason fields of plates. The phonon–phason coupling elastic modulus and piezoelectric constant produce positive and negative effects on the magnitudes of stresses. Besides, compliance coefficients of the weak interface in the phonon field contribute more to the variations than those in the phason field.

In the present work, by considering the agglomeration effect of single-walled carbon nanotubes, free vibration characteristics of functionally graded nanocomposite sandwich sectorial plates are presented. The volume fractions of randomly oriented agglomerated single-walled carbon nanotubes are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction. To determine the effect of carbon nanotube agglomeration on the elastic properties of carbon nanotube-reinforced composites, a two-parameter micromechanical model of agglomeration is employed. In this research work, an equivalent continuum model based on the Eshelby–Mori–Tanaka approach is considered to estimate the effective constitutive law of the elastic isotropic medium (matrix) with oriented straight carbon nanotubes. The two-dimensional generalized differential quadrature method as an efficient and accurate numerical tool is used to discretize the equations of motion and to implement the various boundary conditions. The proposed sectorial plates are simply supported at radial edges, while all possible combinations of free, simply supported, and clamped boundary conditions are applied to the other two circular edges. The benefit of using the considered power-law distribution is to illustrate and present useful results arising from symmetric and asymmetric profiles. The effects of agglomeration, geometrical, and material parameters together with the boundary conditions on the frequency parameters of the sandwich functionally graded nanocomposite plates are investigated. It is shown that the natural frequencies of structure are seriously affected by the influence of carbon nanotubes agglomeration. This study serves as a benchmark for assessing the validity of numerical methods or two-dimensional theories used to analyze the sandwich sectorial plates.

This paper presents a theoretical analysis for the hydroelastic vibration of a rectangular tank partially filled with an ideal liquid. The wet dynamic displacement of the tank is approximated by combining the orthogonal polynomials satisfying the simply supported boundary conditions, since the rectangular tank is composed of four rectangular plates. As the facing rectangular plates are geometrically identical, the vibration modes of the facing plates can be divided into two categories: symmetric modes and asymmetric modes with respect to the vertical centerlines of the plates. The liquid displacement potential satisfying the boundary conditions is derived and the wet dynamic modal functions of the four plates are expanded by the finite Fourier transformation for a compatibility requirement along the contacting surface between the tank and the liquid. The natural frequencies of the rectangular tank in the wet condition are calculated by using the Rayleigh-Ritz method. The proposed analytical method is verified by observing an excellent agreement with three-dimensional finite element analysis results.

Plate Type

A performance evaluation of plate-type piezoelectric composite actuators (PCA) having different lay-up sequences was experimentally carried out at simply supported and fixed-free boundary conditions. The actuating displacement of the manufactured PCAs was measured using a non-contact laser displacement measurement system. It was shown that the actuating displacement with increasing applied electric field at a drive frequency of 1 Hz increased nonlinearly at the simply supported boundary condition whereas it almost linearly increased at the fixed-free boundary condition. In contrast, the actuating displacement of the PCAs depended on the applied electric fields in a drive frequency range from 1 Hz to 10 Hz. However, the displacement behavior of PCAs varied significantly at a higher range of drive frequency, i.e., beyond 15 Hz, due to the occurrence of resonance. On the basis of these experimental results, the bending characteristics of PCAs in relation to applied electric field, drive frequency, and boundary conditions were elucidated.

A computationally efficient and very accurate numerical method is proposed for vibration analysis of regular polygonal plates with any combinations of clamped, simply-supported and free boundary conditions. The method involves the use of two-dimensional orthogonal polynomials generated by the Gram-Schmidt recurrence procedure. For the cases of simply supported and fully clamped hexagonal and octagonal plates, the results obtained agreed very well with those existing in the literature. The frequencies and mode shapes for several hexagonal and octagonal plates subjected to mixed boundary conditions are also presented.

Basic Equations

The basic equations of deflection, slope, and moments for a thin, flat, circular plate subjected to a uniform load on a concentric circle were derived for four generalized cases. From these generalized cases, six simplified cases were deduced. The four generalized cases have the uniform load acting on a concentric circle of the plate between the inner and outer edges, with the following boundary conditions: (a) Outer edge supported and fixed, inner edge fixed; (b) outer edge simply supported, inner edge free; (c) outer edge simply supported, inner edge fixed; and (d) outer edge supported and fixed, inner edge free.
