Modelling Assumptions

Anchors are widely used in foundation systems for structures requiring uplift resistance. As demonstrated by numerous theoretical and experimental studies on the subject, uncertainty remains as to both the theoretical uplift capacity of anchors in idealised soils and the suitability of the various modelling assumptions in capturing the responses observed during tests. This study, which deals exclusively with the theoretical uplift capacity, presents newly obtained predictions of uplift capacities and the corresponding collapse mechanisms for inclined strip anchors in sand. The analysis is based on the upper bound (kinematic) method of limit analysis and the so-called block set mechanism, in which a collapse mechanism consisting of sliding rigid blocks is optimised with respect to interior angles and edges of the blocks. It is demonstrated that the method provides lower (better) estimates of uplift capacity in some cases compared to previous upper bound calculations. Also, variations in the predicted collapse mechanism with changes in embedment and inclination are assessed in detail.

Finite Moment

It is a well-known fact that the bending moment at the center of a circular plate under a central point load becomes infinite. So, “what is a sensible finite moment value, that one may adopt, at the center of a circular plate under a central point load?” This study addresses this interesting and fundamental question. In order to obtain a finite value to the bending moment, we draw upon the exact deflection expressions from the classical and higher-order plate theories of Mindlin and of Reddy, and make some reasonable assumptions such as the maximum deflection of Mindlin plate being equal to the maximum deflection of the corresponding Reddy plate and the constancy of the Mindlin shear correction factor.

If a thin elastic circular plate B: ∣z∣ < 1 is clamped (simply supported, respectively) along its edge ∣z∣ = 1, its deflection at z ∈ B under a point load at ζ ∈ B, measured positively in the direction of the gravitational pull, is the biharmonic Green's function β(z, ζ) of the clamped plate (γ(z, ζ) of the simply supported plate, respectively). We ask: how do β(z, ζ) and γ(z, ζ) compare with the corresponding deflections β0(z, ζ) and γ0(z, ζ) of the punctured circular plate B0: 0 < ∣ z ∣ < 1 that is “clamped” or “simply supported”, respectively, also at the origin? We shall show that γ(z, ζ) is not affected by the puncturing, that is, γ(·, ζ) = γ0(·, ζ), whereas β(·, ζ) is:on B0 × B0. Moreover, while β((·, ζ) is of constant sign, β0(·, ζ) is not. This gives a simple counterexmple to the conjecture of Hadamard [6] that the deflection of a clampled thin elastic plate be always of constant sign:The biharmonic Gree's function of a clampled concentric circular annulus is not of constant sign if the radius of the inner boundary circle is sufficiently small.Earlier counterexamples to Hadamard's conjecture were given by Duffin [2], Garabedian [4], Loewner [7], and Szegö [9]. Interest in the problem was recently revived by the invited address of Duffin [3] before the Annual Meeting of the American Mathematical Society in 1974. The drawback of the counterexample we will present is that, whereas the classical examples are all simply connected, ours is not. In the simplicity of the proof, however, there is no comparison.

Rotating friction circular plates are the main components of a friction clutch. The vibration and temperature field of these friction circular plates in high speed affect the clutch operation. This study investigates the thermoelastic coupling vibration and stability of rotating friction circular plates. Firstly, based on the middle internal forces resulting from the action of normal inertial force, the differential equation of transverse vibration with variable coefficients for an axisymmetric rotating circular plate is established by thin plate theory and thermal conduction equation considering deformation effect. Secondly, the differential equation of vibration and corresponding boundary conditions are discretized by the differential quadrature method. Meanwhile, the thermoelastic coupling transverse vibrations with three different boundary conditions are calculated. In this case, the change curve of the first two-order dimensionless complex frequencies of the rotating circular plate with the dimensionless angular speed and thermoelastic coupling coefficient are analyzed. The effects of the critical dimensionless thermoelastic coupling coefficient and the critical angular speed on the stability of the rotating circular plate with simply supported and clamped edges are discussed. Finally, the relation between the critical divergence speed and the dimensionless thermoelastic coupling coefficient is obtained. The results provide the theoretical basis for optimizing the structure and improving the dynamic stability of friction clutches.

Plate Deflection

Finite difference method in solving classic problems in theory of plates is considered a standard one [1], [2], [3], [4]. The above refers mainly to solutions in right-angle coordinates. For circular plates, for which the use of polar coordinates is the best option, the question of classic plate deflection gets complicated. In accordance with mathematical rules the passage from partial differentials to final differences seems firm. Still final formulas both for the equation (1), as well as for border conditions of circular plate obtained in this study and in the study [3] differ considerably. The paper describes in detail necessary mathematical calculations. The final results are presented in identical form as in the study [3]. Difference of results as well as the length of arm in passage from partial differentials to finite differences for mixed derivatives are discussed. Generalizations resulting from these discussions are presented. This preliminary proceeding has the purpose of searching for solutions to technical problems in machine building and construction, in particular finding a solution to the question of distribution of load along contact line in worm gearing.

Calculating the exact solution to the differential equations that describe the motion of a circular plate clamped or pinned at the edge, is laborious. The calculations include the Bessel functions and modified Bessel functions. In this paper, we present a brief method for calculating with approximation, the fundamental frequency of a circular plate clamped or pinned at the edge. We’ll use the Dunkerley’s estimate to determine the fundamental frequency of the plates. A plate is a continuous system and will assume it is loaded with a uniform distributed load, including the weight of the plate itself. Considering the mass per unit area of the plate, and substituting it in Dunkerley’s equation rearranged, we obtain a numerical parameter K02, related to the fundamental frequency of the plate, which has to be evaluated for each particular case. In this paper, have been evaluated the values of K02 for thin circular plates clamped or pinned at edge. An elliptical plate clamped at edge is also presented for several ratios of the semi–axes, one of which is identical with a circular plate.

Abstract This paper deals with voltage-amplitude response of superharmonic resonance of second order of electrostatically actuated clamped MEMS circular plates. A flexible MEMS circular plate, parallel to a ground plate, and under AC voltage, constitute the structure under consideration. Hard excitations due to voltage large enough and AC frequency near one fourth of the natural frequency of the MEMS plate resonator lead the MEMS plate into superharmonic resonance of second order. These excitations produce resonance away from the primary resonance zone. No DC component is included in the voltage applied. The equation of motion of the MEMS plate is solved using two modes of vibration reduced order model (ROM), that is then solved through a continuation and bifurcation analysis using the software package AUTO 07P. This predicts the voltage-amplitude response of the electrostatically actuated MEMS plate. Also, a numerical integration of the system of differential equations using Matlab is used to produce time responses of the system. A typical MEMS silicon circular plate resonator is used to conduct numerical simulations. For this resonator the quantum dynamics effects such as Casimir effect are considered. Also, the Method of Multiple Scales (MMS) is used in this work. All methods show agreement for dimensionless voltage values less than 6. The amplitude increases with the increase of voltage, except around the dimensionless voltage value of 4, where the resonance shows two saddle-node bifurcations and a peak amplitude significantly larger than the amplitudes before and after the dimensionless voltage of 4. A light softening effect is present. The pull-in dimensionless voltage is found to be around 16. The effects of damping and frequency on the voltage response are reported. As the damping increases, the peak amplitude decreases. while the pull-in voltage is not affected. As the frequency increases, the peak amplitude is shifted to lower values and lower voltage values. However, the pull-in voltage and the behavior for large voltage values are not affected.

The study of the dynamic behaviour of non-uniform thickness circular plate resting on elastic foundations is very imperative in designing structural systems. This present research investigates the free vibration analysis of varying density and non-uniform thickness isotropic circular plates resting on Winkler and Pasternak foundations. The governing differential equation is analysed using the Galerkin method of weighted residuals. Linear and nonlinear case is considered, the surface radial and circumferential stresses are also determined. Thereafter, the accuracy and consistency of the analytical solutions obtained are ascertained by comparing the existing results available in pieces of literature and confirmed to be in a good harmony. Also, it is observed that very accurate results can be obtained with few computations. Issues relating to the singularity of circular plate governing equations are handled with ease. The analytical solutions obtained are used to determine the influence of elastic foundations, homogeneity and thickness variation on the dynamic behaviour of the circular plate, the effect of vibration on a free surface of the foundation as well as the influence of radial and circumferential stress on mode shapes of the circular plate considered. From the results, it is observed that a maximum of 8.1% percentage difference is obtained with the solutions obtained from other analytical methods. Furthermore, increasing the elastic foundation parameter increases the natural frequency. Extrema modal displacement occurs due to radial and circumferential stress. Natural frequency increases as the thickness of the circular plate increases, Conversely, a decrease in natural frequency is observed as the density varies. It is envisioned that; the present study will contribute to the existing knowledge of the classical theory of vibration.

Clinical results following four-corner arthrodesis vary and suggest that nonunion may be related to certain fixation techniques. The purpose of our study was to examine the displacement between the lunate and capitate following a simulated four-corner arthrodesis with the hypothesis that three types of fixation (Kirschner wires, dorsal circular plate, and a locked dorsal circular plate) would allow different amounts of displacement during simulated wrist flexion and extension. Cadaver wrists with simulated four-corner arthrodeses were loaded cyclically either to implant failure or until the lunocapitate displacement exceeded 1 mm. The locked dorsal circular plate group was significantly more stable than the dorsal circular plate and K-wire groups ( p = 0.018 and p = 0.006). While these locked dorsal circular plates appear to be very stable our results are limited only to the biomechanical behavior of these fixation techniques within a cadaver model.
