The present study deals with the axisymmetric vibrations of a circular plate subjected to a concentrated dynamic load at its center. The plate is assumed to be supported on an elastic foundation that reacts in compression only. At first the static solution is obtained and contact radius is determined. Later, this is used as an initial configuration of the forced vibrations. The forced vibrations are assumed to be due to the time dependency of the load. The solution is carried out by Galerkin’s method and by using modal functions of the completely free plate. Numerical results are illustrated in figures for stepwise change of the loading.

Abstract The governing equations and solutions for the nonsymmetrical bending of circular plates resting on an elastic foundation are presented using the theory developed by E. Reissner. Also included are two examples in which numerical comparisons have been made with the predictions of the classical theory. These are (a) the axially symmetric bending of a finite circular plate on an elastic foundation under a partial uniform loading, and (b) the nonsymmetric bending of an infinite plate on an elastic foundation with a rigid circular inclusion.

Herrmann’s equations, the dynamic analogues of the von Karman equations, are solved for a circular plate on a linear elastic foundation by assuming a series solution of the separable form involving unknown time functions. The spatial functions include both regular and modified Bessel functions and are chosen to satisfy the linear mode shape distributions of the plate as well as the usual edge conditions. Total differential equations governing the symmetric plate motions are derived using the Galerkin averaging techniques for a spatially uniform load. By extending the concept of normal modes to nonlinear plate vibrations, comparisons between normal mode response and single mode response, as functions of the first mode amplitude, are shown for different values of the elastic foundation parameter. Results are obtained for plates with simply supported and clamped edges and with both radially moveable and immoveable edges. These results are used to discuss the limitations of single-mode response of circular plates, both with and without an elastic foundation.

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.
