This paper is concerned with the virtual mass effect due to the presence of water on the natural frequencies of free-edge annular plates resting on free surface or completely submerged, which has never been studied theoretically. Experiments were carried out for free-edge annular plates to find the so-called nondimensionalized added virtual mass incremental factors. In this paper, theoretical nondimensional added virtual mass incremental factors are obtained by employing the Hankel transformation technique in conjunction with the Fourier-Bessel series approach. It is found that the theoretical nondimensionalized added virtual mass incremental factors for free-edge annular plates resting on free-surface agree well with experimental ones. The proposed method can be applied to different boundary conditions of plates.

This paper is concerned with the virtual mass effect on vibrating circular plates due to the presence of water. Natural frequencies in water can be estimated from natural frequencies in air by using the approximate formula, which mainly depends upon the so-called added virtual mass incremental factor. The added virtual mass incremental factor is a function of geometry, material properties of the plates and mostly boundary conditions of the plates, and water domain. For practical reasons, the added virtual mass incremental factor is likely to be nondimensionalized. In this paper, the nondimensionalized added virtual mass incremental factors for circular plates having simply-supported, clamped, and free edges are obtained by employing the integral transformation technique in conjunction with the dual integral equation method. It is found that the effect of water on the natural frequencies decreases with order.

This paper is concerned with the virtual mass effect on the natural frequencies and mode shapes of rectangular plates due to the presence of the water on one side of the plate. The approximate formula, which mainly depends on the so-called nondimensionalized added virtual mass incremental factor, can be used to estimate natural frequencies in water from natural frequencies in vacuo. However, the approximate formula is valid only when the wet mode shapes are almost the same as the one in vacuo. Moreover, the nondimensionalized added virtual mass incremental factor is in general a function of geometry, material properties of the plate and mostly boundary conditions of the plate and water domain. In this paper, the added virtual mass incremental factors for rectangular plates are obtained using the Rayleigh-Ritz method combined with the Green function method. Two cases of interfacing boundary conditions, which are free-surface and rigid-wall conditions, and two cases of plate boundary conditions, simply supported and clamped cases, are considered in this paper. It is found that the theoretical results match the experimental results. To investigate the validity of the approximate formula, the exact natural frequencies and mode shapes in water are calculated by means of the virtual added mass matrix. It is found that the approximate formula predicts lower natural frequencies in water with a very good accuracy.

In this work, the influence of the surrounding fluid on the dynamic characteristics of almost circular plates is investigated. First the natural frequencies and normal modes for the plates in vacuum are calculated by a perturbation procedure. The method is applied for the case of elliptical plates with a low value of eccentricity. The results are compared with other available methods for this type of plates with good agreement. Next, the effect of the fluid is considered. The normal modes of the plate in vacuum are used as a base to express the vibration mode of the coupled plate-fluid system. By applying the Hankel transformation the nondimensional added virtual mass 2 increment (NAVMI) are calculated for elliptical plates. Results of the NAVMI factors and the effect of the fluid on the natural frequencies are given and it is shown that when the eccentricity of the plate is reduced to zero (circular plate) the known results of the natural frequencies for circular plates surrounded by liquid are recovered.

In comparison with the out-of-plane vibrations of annular plates, far less attention has been paid to the in-plane vibrations which may also play a vital important role in affecting the sound radiation from and power flows in a built-up structure. In this investigation, a generalized Fourier series method is proposed for the in-plane vibration analysis of annular plates with arbitrary boundary conditions along each of its edges. Regardless of the boundary conditions, the in-plane displacement fields are invariantly expressed as a new form of trigonometric series expansions with a drastically improved convergence as compared with the conventional Fourier series. All the unknown expansion coefficients are treated as the generalized coordinates and determined using the Rayleigh-Ritz technique. Unlike most of the existing studies, the presented method can be readily and universally applied to a wide spectrum of in-plane vibration problems involving different boundary conditions, varying material, and geometric properties with no need of modifying the basic functions or adapting solution procedures. Several numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness and reliability of the current solution for predicting the in-plane vibration characteristics of annular plates subjected to different boundary conditions.

The aim of this article is to find an exact analytical solution for free vibration characteristics of thin functionally graded rectangular plates with different boundary conditions. The governing equations of motion are obtained based on the classical plate theory. Using an analytical method, three partial differential equations of motion are reformulated into two new decoupled equations. Based on the Navier solution, a closed-form solution is presented for natural frequencies of functionally graded simply supported rectangular plates. Then, considering Levy-type solution, natural frequencies of functionally graded plates are presented for various boundary conditions. Three mode shapes of a functionally graded rectangular plate are also presented for different boundary conditions. In addition, the effects of aspect ratio, thickness—length ratio, power law index, and boundary conditions on the vibration characteristics of functionally graded rectangular plates are discussed in details. Finally, it has been shown that the effects of in-plane displacements on natural frequencies of functionally graded plates under different boundary conditions have been studied.

We present a numerical procedure to solve the axisymmetric vibration problem of statically loaded annular plates. We use the von Kármán nonlinear plate model to account for large deformations and study the effect of static deflections on the natural frequencies and mode shapes for six combinations of boundary conditions. The shooting method is used to solve the resulting eigenvalue problem. Our results show that static deformations have a significant effect on the natural frequencies and small effect on the mode shapes of the plate. Further, the results show that the presence of in-plane stresses has a significant effect on the natural frequencies.

Vibration behavior of structures with parallelepiped shape—including beams, plates, and solids—are critical for a broad range of practical applications. In this paper we describe a new approach, referred to here as the three-dimensional spectral-Tchebychev (3D-ST) technique, for solution of three-dimensional vibrations of parallelepipeds with different boundary conditions. An integral form of the boundary-value problem is derived using the extended Hamilton’s principle. The unknown displacements are then expressed using a triple expansion of scaled Tchebychev polynomials, and analytical integration and differentiation operators are replaced by matrix operators. The boundary conditions are incorporated into the solution through basis recombination, allowing the use of the same set of Tchebychev functions as the basis functions for problems with different boundary conditions. As a result, the discretized equations of motion are obtained in terms of mass and stiffness matrices. To analyze the numerical convergence and precision of the 3D-ST solution, a number of case studies on beams, plates, and solids with different boundary conditions have been conducted. Overall, the calculated natural frequencies were shown to converge exponentially with the number of polynomials used in the Tchebychev expansion. Furthermore, the natural frequencies and mode shapes were in excellent agreement with those from a finite-element solution. It is concluded that the 3D-ST technique can be used for accurate and numerically efficient solution of three-dimensional parallelepiped vibrations under mixed boundary conditions.
