Elastic Boundary Conditions

This article mainly analyzes the free vibration characteristic of the sandwich piezoelectric beam under elastic boundary conditions and thermal environment. According to the first-order shear deformation theory and Hamilton’s principle, the thermo-electro-elastic coupling equations of the sandwich piezoelectric beam are obtained. Meanwhile, elastic boundary conditions composed of an array of springs are introduced, and the displacement variables and external potential energy of the beam are expressed as wave functions. By using the method of reverberation-ray matrix to integrate and solve the governing equations, a search algorithm based on golden-section search is introduced to calculate the required frequency parameters. A series of numerical results are compared with those reported in literature studies and obtained by simulation software to verify the correctness and versatility of the search algorithm. In addition, three parametric research cases are proposed to investigate the frequency parameters of sandwich piezoelectric beams with elastic restraint conditions, material parameters, thickness ratio, different temperature rises, and external electric potential.

Vibration Responses

The porous material is an emerging lightweight material, which is able to reduce structural weight and also keeps the superiority of the structure. Therefore, this work is devoted to the investigation of the functionally graded porous (FGP) annular and circular plates with general boundary conditions. The unified modeling method is proposed by combining the first-order shear deformation theory, the virtual spring technology, the multi-segment partition method, and the semi-analysis Rayleigh–Ritz approach. Afterwards, the convergency and correctness of the proposed method are verified, respectively. The frequency parameters, modal shapes, and forced vibration responses are uniformly calculated based on the proposed method. Finally, the dynamic analyses of the FGP annular and circular plates with different parameters, such as the porosity distribution types, porosity ratios, boundary condition types, geometry parameters, and load types, are conducted in detail. It is found that the reasonable porous design is able to keep the dynamic stability of the structure under different parameter variations.
