Treated in this paper is the free-flexural vibration analysis of symmetrically laminated thin circular plates. The total energy functional for the laminated plates is formulated where the pb-2 Ritz method is applied for the solution. The assumed displacement is defined as the product of (1) a two-dimensional complete polynomial function and (2) a basic boundary function. The simplicity and accuracy of the numerical procedure will be demonstrated by solving some plate examples. In the present study, the effects of material properties, number of layers and fiber stacking sequences upon the vibration frequency parameters are investigated. Selected mode shapes by means of contour plots for several 16-ply laminated plates with different fiber stacking sequences and composite materials are presented. This study may provide valuable information for researchers and engineers in design applications. In addition, the present solution plays an important role in increasing the existing data base for future references.

Polar Orthotropic

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.

Asymmetric Vibration

In the present paper, asymmetric vibration of polar orthotropic annular circular plates of quadratically varying thickness resting on Winkler elastic foundation is studied by using boundary characteristic orthonormal polynomials in Rayleigh-Ritz method. Convergence of the results is tested and comparison is made with results already available in the existing literature. Numerical results for the first ten frequencies for various values of parameters describing width of annular plate, thickness profile, material orthotropy and foundation constant for all three possible combinations of clamped, simply supported and free edge conditions are shown and discussed. It is found that (a) higher elastic property in circumferential direction leads to higher stiffness against lateral vibration; (b) Lateral vibration characteristics ofF-Fplatesis more sensitive towards parametric changes in material orthotropy and foundation stiffness thanC-CandS-Splates; (c) Effect of quadratical thickness variation on fundamental frequency is more significant in cases ofC-CandS-S platesthan that ofF-Fplates. Thickness profile which is convex relative to plate center-line tends to result in higher stiffness of annular plates against lateral vibration than the one which is concave and (d) Fundamental mode of vibration ofC-CandS-Splatesis axisymmetrical while that ofF-Fplatesis asymmetrical.
