In this paper, one newly developed method named the Improved Fourier Series method is applied to the vibration analysis of a beam elastically supported at the both end. The flexural displacement of the beam is supposed to be one set of Fourier Series coupled with four appended terms. Based on the Rayleigh-Ritz procedure and and the vibration characteristics of the beam are also acquired by solving these two matrices. In the end, the frequencies calculated are also compared with those from references and Results ar the Hamilton’s equation, the mass matrices and the stiffness matrices of the beam are obtained e all proved excellent.

In this paper, an analytical method is proposed to directly obtain the aeroelastic time domain response of the elastic boundary panel. Based on a modified Fourier series method (MFSM), the vibration analysis of elastic boundary panels is carried out, after the dynamics equation of the panel is obtained. Then, the vibrational functions are combined with the supersonic piston theory to establish the aeroelastic equation. The aeroelastic time domain response of the panel is obtained to analyze the flutter speed of the panel more intuitively. Finally, the flutter speeds of panels with different length-width ratios, thicknesses, and elastic boundary conditions are discussed in detail.

Plates are applied to a wide array of structural applications of varying complexity. Each application requires rigorous analysis to determine the viability of the proposed model. One such application involves modeling a larger structure as a collection of smaller flat plates connected at the plate boundaries. Previous research into these types of structures has led to varying levels of accuracy. It has been dependent on the applications and assumptions involved. To improve the accuracy of these types of structures in a more general context, we propose expanding on current models of coupled plates by modeling the plates using Mindlin plate theory. We analyze the vibration of the improved model with general elastic boundary conditions, point supports and coupling conditions using the Fourier series method and finite element software. When the Fourier series method is applied directly, continuity issues arise at the plate coupling boundaries. To resolve these issues, the Fourier series solution of the vibration displacements is amended to include auxiliary functions. This improved coupled plate model is analyzed and numerically simulated for a variety of elastic boundary conditions and coupling conditions. The numerical results are produced using the Fourier series method and a finite element solution to demonstrate the validity of the improved coupled plate model.

boundary conditions are In this paper, an improved Fourier series method is presented for the free vibration analysis of rectangular plates with arbitrary elastic conditions. The stiffness value of the restraining springs is determined as required to simulate the arbitrary elastic boundary conditions. The exact solution of plates with arbitrary elastic boundary conditions is solved by the introduced supplementary func-tions. The matrix eigenvalue equation of plates is derived by using boundary conditions and the governing equations. Compared with exist methods, the presented method can be easily applied to most of plate vibration problems with different boundary conditions. To validate the accuracy of the presented method, numerical simulations with different boundary conditions are presented.presented.
