This paper is concerned with the axisymmetric vibration problem of polar orthotropic circular plates of quadratically varying thickness and resting on an elastic foundation. The problem is solved by using the Rayleigh–Ritz method with boundary characteristic orthonormal polynomials for approximating the deflection function. Numerical results are computed for frequencies, nodal radii and mode shapes. Three-dimensional graphs are also plotted for the first four normal modes of axisymmetric vibration of plates with free, simply-supported and clamped edge conditions for various values of taper, orthotropy and foundation parameters.

AbstractWe present a general solution approach for analysis of transversely isotropic cylindrical tubes and circular plates. On the basis of Hamiltonian state space formalism in a systematic way, rigorous solutions of the twisting problems are determined by means of separation of variables and symplectic eigenfunction expansion.

In this study, an investigation of “the free vibrations of hollow circular plates’’ is reported. The study is based on elastic foundation and the results depicted are further extended to study the special case of “graphene sheets.’’ The first-order shear deformation theory is applied to study the elastic properties of the material. A hollow circular sheet is modeled and the vibrations are simulated with the aid of finite element method. The results obtained are in good agreement with the theoretical findings. After the validation, a model of graphene is presented. Graphene contains a layer of honeycomb carbon atoms. Inside a layer, each carbon atom C is attached to three other carbon atoms and produces a sheet of hexagonal array. A 25 nm × 25 nm graphene sheet is modeled and simulated using the validated technique, that is, via the first-order shear deformation theory. The key findings of this study are the vibrational frequencies and vibrational mode shapes.
