Piezoelectric Plates

Analytical solutions for the static three-dimensional deformations of multilayered piezoelectric rectangular plates are obtained by using the Eshelby-Stroh formalism. The laminated plate consists of homogeneous elastic or piezoelectric laminae of arbitrary thicknesses. The equations of static, linear, piezoelectricity are exactly satisfied at every point in the body. The analytical solution is in terms of an infinite series; the continuity conditions at the interfaces and boundary conditions at the edges are used to determine the coefficients. The formulation admits different boundary conditions at the edges and is applicable to thick and thin laminated plates. Results are presented for thick piezoelectric plates with two opposite edges simply supported and the other two subjected to various boundary conditions. [S0021-8936(00)01803-1]

The aeroelastic stability of rectangular plates are well-documented in literature for certain sets of boundary conditions. Specifically, wing flutter, panel flutter, and divergence of a plate that is clamped on all sides are well-understood. However, the ongoing push for lighter structures and novel designs have led to a need to understand the aeroelastic behavior of elastic plates for other boundary conditions. One example is NASA’s continuous mold-line link project for reducing the noise generated by commercial transport aircraft during landing; in order to reduce the noise generated by vortex shedding from the trailing edge flap during landing, the project proposes to connect the gap between the trailing edge flap and the rest of the wing with a flexible plate. This paper summarizes the aeroelastic theory, numerical results, and experimental results of a study on the flutter and/or divergence mechanisms of a rectangular plate for different sets of structural boundary conditions. The theory combines a three-dimensional vortex lattice aerodynamic model with a plate structural model to create a high-fidelity frequency domain aeroelastic model. A modular experimental test bed is designed for this study in order to test the different boundary conditions. The test bed is also designed to test different plate thicknesses and sizes with only a small number of modifications. The well-understood boundary conditions are used as test cases to validate the analysis results, and then results of additional configurations that have not been extensively explored are presented. The results of this paper can be used to support the design efforts of projects involving plates or plate-membranes. In addition, the paper adds to the fundamental understanding of plate aeroelasticity and provides a wealth of experimental data for comparison and future validation.

The present study investigates static analyses of moderately thick FG plates. Using the First Order Shear Deformation Theory (FSDT), functionally graded plates subjected to transversely distributed loading with various boundary conditions are studied. Effective mechanical properties which vary from one surface of the plate to the other assumed to be defined by a power law form of distribution. Different ceramic-metal sets of materials are studied. Solution of the governing equations, including five equilibrium and eight constitutive equations, is obtained by the Extended Kantorovich Method (EKM). The system of thirteen Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) in terms of displacements, rotations, force and moment resultants are considered as multiplications of separable function of independent variables x and y. Then by successful utilization of the EKM these equations are converted to a double set of ODE systems in terms of x and y. The obtained ODE systems are then solved iteratively until final convergence is achieved. Closed form solution is presented for these ODE sets. It is shown that the method is very stable and provides fast convergence and highly accurate predictions for both thin and moderately thick plates. Comparison of the normal stresses at various points of rectangular plates and deflection of mid-point of the plate are presented and compared with available data in the literature. The effects of the volume fraction exponent n on the behavior of the normalized deflection, moment resultants and stresses of FG plates are also studied. To validate data for analysis fully clamped FG plates, another analysis was carried out using finite element code ANSYS. Close agreement is observed between predictions of the EKM and ANSYS.

Bending analysis of thick laminated rectangular plates with various boundary conditions is presented using Generalized Differential Quadrature (GDQ) method. Based on the Reissner first order shear deformation theory, the governing equations include a system of eight first order partial differential equations in terms of unknown displacements, forces and moments. Presence of all plate variables in the governing equations provide a simple procedure to satisfy different boundary condition during application of GDQ method to obtain accurate results with relatively small number of grid points even for plates with free edges .Illustrative examples including various combinations of clamped, simply supported and free boundary condition are given to demonstrate the accuracy and convergence of the presented GDQ technique. Results are compared with other analytical and finite element predictions and show reasonably good agreement.

AbstractThe nonlinear vibrations of composite laminated plates with time-dependent base excitation and boundary conditions are investigated. According to the von Kármán nonlinear plate theory, the dynamic equations of motion of the laminated plates are established. The nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed to the nonlinear ordinary differential ones using the Bubnov-Galerkin’s  method. The primary resonance and the primary parametric resonance of the laminated plate with time-dependent boundary conditions are investigated by means of the method of multiple scales. The validity of the present theoretical method is verified by comparing the amplitude–frequency relationship curves acquired from the present theoretical method with those calculated from the numerical simulation. The amplitude–frequency characteristic curves and the displacement time histories for different ply angles of the composite laminated plate are analyzed. The effects of the viscous damping factor and the transverse displacement excitation on the amplitude–frequency relationship curves are also studied. The present results are helpful for the nonlinear dynamical analysis and design of the composite laminated plate with time-dependent boundary conditions.

The free flexural vibrations of rectangular plates with various boundary conditions have been considered by Warburton. The natural frequencies were calculated by the Rayleigh method, the mode assumed being the product of the characteristic beam functions for the given boundary conditions. Comparison with experimental results shows that the method gives reasonably good approximations. The present note describes a method of obtaining the approximately equivalent characteristic beam functions to enable Warburton's method to be extended to plates having one or more stiffeners parallel to an edge. As a numerical example expressions for the frequencies are derived for a plate, simply supported along two opposite edges, and having a central stiffener parallel to the other two free edges. The results are compared with those given in a recent note by Kirk, who solved the same problem by the Rayleigh-Ritz method, using a mode with one arbitrary parameter. In the case of the fundamental frequency of the unstiffened plate, the characteristic beam function in a direction perpendicular to the free edges is simply a constant, and the solution is less accurate than that given by the Rayleigh-Ritz method. However, numerical analysis of a square plate shows that above a certain stiffener depth the characteristic beam function method is more accurate than the Rayleigh-Ritz method. The two methods are also compared for the 2/2 mode.
