The generation of in-plane vibration in plates is an important issue and frequently occurs due to the presence of excitations in the ship’s hull due to turbulent fluid flows, turbulent airflow excitation on aerospace structures, gear system subjected to axial excitation, assemblies housing piezoelectric crystals and sandwiched plates, and so on. The present analysis aims to establish a universal and numerically efficient method for determination of in-plane vibration characteristics of isotropic rectangular plates both for conventional and general boundary conditions. The new in-plane Fourier series and displacement function of the plate have been developed using beam displacement functions in x and y directions, respectively, under in-plane condition. A modified Fourier series assumption for the in-plane beam displacement has been utilised and further developed as plate displacement function. The computational efficiency of the present method is compared in terms of convergence of natural frequency parameter, speed of execution and manual convenience to reduce human errors with the frequently used Fourier series method by various researchers. Rayleigh–Ritz procedure has been applied to determine the in-plane natural frequencies. The mode shapes for few conventional and generally varying boundary conditions have been presented and analysed. The dynamic response has been obtained and analysed in terms of the in-plane mobility and power flow characteristics of the plate under varying boundary conditions. The validity of results obtained by the current method has shown excellent accuracy and faster convergence with the existing results. The present results can provide a benchmark to analyse the dynamic in-plane response of plate systems being used for built-up structures in real engineering applications.

Employing an efficient numerical strategy, the nonlinear forced vibration analysis of composite cylindrical shells reinforced with single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is carried out. It is assumed that the distribution of CNTs along the thickness direction of the shell is uniform or functionally graded and the temperature dependency of the material properties is accounted. The governing equations are presented based on the first-order shear deformation theory along with von-Karman nonlinear strain-displacement relations. The vectorized form of energy functional is derived and directly discretized using numerical differential and integral operators. By the use of variational differential quadrature (VDQ) method, discretized nonlinear governing equations are obtained. Then, the time periodic differential operators are applied to perform the discretization procedure in time domain. Finally, the pseudo-arc length continuation method is employed to solve the nonlinear governing equations and trace the frequency response curve of the nanocomposite cylindrical shell. A comparison study is first presented to verify the efficiency and validity of the proposed numerical method. Comprehensive numerical results are then given to investigate the effects of the involved factors on the nonlinear forced vibration characteristics of the structure. The results show that the changes of fundamental vibrational mode shape have considerable effects on the frequency response curves of composite cylindrical shells reinforced with CNTs.

In this article, nonlinear forced vibration analysis is carried out for a rotating three-dimensional tapered cantilever beam subjected to a uniformly distributed load. Considering the effects of Coriolis terms, static axial deformation and geometric nonlinearity in modeling process, nonlinear partial motion equations of a rotating tapered Euler–Bernoulli beam are established by using Hamilton’s principle. Galerkin’s procedure is used to discretize the equations to obtain the dynamic response of the beam. Frequency responses, the time-history response, the phase diagram, and the Poincaré map are introduced to study the effects of the taper ratio, rotating velocity, radius of hub, and external excitation on the nonlinear resonances and detailed responses of the rotating three-dimensional tapered beam. Results show that the fundamental natural frequency increases with the increase of the taper ratio, radius of hub, and rotating velocity. Besides, by increasing the taper ratio and excitation amplitude and decreasing the rotating velocity and radius of hub, the nonlinearity and vibration amplitude of the rotating beam intensify.
