A procedure to calculate the natural frequencies of in-plane loaded, thin, slightly curved, simply supported rectangular plates is presented, with numerical results. This includes the solutions to von Karman’s static equilibrium equation and the linear shell vibration equation using Galerkin’s method. The compatibility equations are given in terms of Airy stress functions which satisfy the “shear free” and “constant normal displacement” in-plane edge conditions. This procedure is an extension to the method presented by Hui and Leissa, the difference being the use of a multiterm Fourier series representation for the initial imperfection, the static deflection and the vibratory modes.

Steady-state modelling method for matrix-reactance frequency converter with boost topologyThis paper presents a method intended for calculation of steady-state processes in AC/AC three-phase converters that are described by nonstationary periodical differential equations. The method is based on the extension of nonstationary differential equations and the use of Galerkin's method. The results of calculations are presented in the form of a double Fourier series. As an example, a three-phase matrix-reactance frequency converter (MRFC) with boost topology is considered and the results of computation are compared with a numerical method.

The analysis of part I is extended to deal with the case of free-edged rectangular plates having an initial curvature about an axis parallel to one pair of opposite edges and loaded by distributed bending moments applied to the straight edges and compressive forces applied to the curved edges. In particular, the stability and post-buckling behaviour of such plates subjected to the compressive forces alone is studied. The axially symmetrical buckling of thin-walled circular tubes in axial compression is also considered. Experimental plates are found to buckle at loads rather lower than those predicted.

Abstract A new solution technique is developed for solving the moving mass problem for nonconservalive, linear, distributed parameter systems using complex eigenfunction expansions. Traditional Galerkin analysis of this problem using complex eigenfunctions fails in the limit of large numbers of terms because complex eigenfunctions are not linearly independent. This linear dependence problem is circumvented in the method proposed here by applying a modal constraint on the velocity of the distributed parameter system (Renshaw, 1997). This constraint is valid for all complete sets of eigenfunctions but must be applied with care for finite dimensional approximations of concentrated loads such as found in the moving mass problem. A set of real differential ordinary equations in time are derived which require exactly as much work to solve as Galerkin’s method with a set of real, linearly independent trial functions. Results indicate that the proposed method is competitive with traditional Galerkin’s method in terms of speed, accuracy and convergence.

Post-buckling behaviors of laminated composite and isotropic rectangular plates subjected to various thermal changes are studied. Geometric imperfections are taken into account since they play a fundamental role. The plate is modeled using a nonlinear, higher order shear deformation theory. Plates with clamped edges are considered. A pseudo-arc length continuation method is used to obtain numerical results. Laboratory experiments have been performed in order to compare to the numerical calculations.
