Title Problem

The title problem was first considered by Knowles and Wang (1960) and was shown to be related to the solution given by the classical plate theory. This solution is actually the outer solution of a singular perturbation problem, and therefore is valid only away from the crack-tip region. Within a boundary layer of order h/a, where h is the plate thickness and a is the half-crack length, the two theories differ considerably. In this study the leading order solution is obtained for h/a - 0 and it is shown that the limiting stress intensity factor given by the Reissner plate theory is more than 50 percent higher than the asymptotic result (1 + v)/(3 + v) which is obtained from the displacement field as given by the classical plate theory.

The Impact

The present work aims to study the non-linear vibrations in a cracked orthotropic tapered micro-plate. Linear and parabolic variation in the plate thickness is assumed in one as well as two directions. The partial crack is located in the centre, and it is continuous; this crack’s location is arbitrary and can be varied within the centre-line. Based on classical plate theory, the equilibrium principle is applied, and the governing equation of tapered orthotropic plate is derived. Additionally, the microstructure’s effect has been included in the governing equation using the non-classical modified couple stress theory. The simplified line spring model is used to consider the impact of partial crack on the plate dynamics and is incorporated using in-plane forces and bending moments. The introduction of Berger’s formulation brings the non-linearity in the model in terms of in-plane forces. Here, Galerkin’s method has been chosen for converting the derived governing equation into time-dependent modal coordinates, which uses an approximate solution technique to solve the non-linear Duffing equation. The crack is considered along the fibres and across the fibres to show the effect of orthotropy. Results are presented for an orthotropic cracked plate with non-uniform thickness. The effects of the variation of taper constants, crack location, crack length, internal material length scale parameter on the fundamental frequency are obtained for two different boundary conditions. The non-linear frequency response curves are plotted to show the effect of non-linearity on the system dynamics using the method of multiple scales, and the contribution of taper constants and crack parameters on non-linearity is shown with bending-hardening and bending-softening phenomenon. It has been found that vibration characteristics are affected by the taper parameters and fibre direction for a cracked orthotropic plate.

Elasticity Solutions

The paper presents a novel shear deformation plate theory involving only two variables. Taking a cue from exact three-dimensional theory of elasticity solutions for a plate, hyperbolic functions are used for describing displacement variation across plate thickness. The theory involves only two governing equations, which are uncoupled for statics and are only inertially coupled for dynamics. The shear stress free surface conditions are satisfied. No shear correction factor is required. The theory is variationally consistent, has a strong similarity with classical plate theory, and is simple, yet accurate. Illustrative examples for free vibration and for static flexure demonstrate the effectiveness of the theory.

History Of

In this paper, the geometrical nonlinear vibrations of a rectangular plate have been investigated experimentally and numerically. The experiment was conducted on a thin rectangular plate. The plate was excited close to the first fundamental natural frequency. The time history of velocities of the central point has been measured by using a laser vibrometer. While the numerical investigation has been carried using the Finite Element Method (FEM), the numerical results are validated by analytical and experimental results. In order to develop and test the extraction procedure of the bifurcation plot of a dynamical system, a chaotic pendulum has been analyzed. Then, the same successful code has been used again for the experimental dynamics of the investigated plate. The plate has been forced with a sinusoidal input at a gradually stepped and increased amplitude. For every step, the phase portrait is determined, and then processed to extract the bifurcation map. The resulted map has shown successfully the linear range where the classical plate theory is adequate, and the boundary at which the transition to nonlinearity has occurred. The bifurcation has occurred when the lateral amplitude has reached 50% of the plate thickness.

Rigid Circular Inclusion

Abstract The three-dimensional problem of the effect of a rigid circular inclusion on the bending of a thick elastic plate is solved approximately by the method of E. Reissner (1, 2). Comparison is made for the limiting cases of vanishing inclusion size, (plane strain), and vanishing thickness (Poisson-Kirchoff plate theory), with the work of J. N. Goodier (3) and M. Goland (4). Graphs showing the transition from the plane-strain solution to the Poisson-Kirchoff solution are given. Stress concentrations are calculated and plotted versus the inclusion diameter-plate thickness ratio. The stress concentrations are found to be less than predicted by the classical plate theory when the inclusion diameter approaches the same order of magnitude as the plate thickness.

Double Plate System

The second-order laminated plate theory is utilized in this work to analyze orthotropic composite plates with asymmetric delamination. First, a displacement field satisfying the system of exact kinematic conditions is presented by developing a double-plate system in the uncracked plate portion. The basic equations of linear elasticity and Hamilton’s principle are utilized to derive the system of equilibrium and governing equations. As an example, a delaminated simply supported plate is analyzed using Lévy plate formulation and the state-space model by varying the position of the delamination along the plate thickness. The displacements, strains, stresses and the J-integral are calculated by the plate theory solution and compared with those by linear finite-element calculations. The comparison of the numerical and analytical results shows that the second-order plate theory captures very well the mechanical fields. However, if the delamination is separated by only a relatively thin layer from the plate boundary surface, then the second-order plate theory approximates badly the stress resultants and so the mode-II and mode-III J-integrals and thus leads to erroneous results.

The prediction of unsteady flow in vibrating transonic cascades is essential in assessing the aeroelastic stability of fans and compressors. In the present work an existing computational code, based on the numerical integration of the unsteady Euler equations, in blade-to-blade surface formulation, is validated by comparison with available theoretical and experimental results. Comparison with the flat plate theory of Verdon is, globally, satisfactory. Nevertheless, the computational results do not exhibit any particular behaviour at acoustic resonance. The use of a 1-D nonreflecting boundary condition does not significantly alter the results. Comparison of the computational method with experimental data from started and unstarted supersonic flows, with strong shock waves, reveals that, notwithstanding the globally satisfactory performance of the method, viscous effects are prominent at the shock wave/boundary layer interaction regions, where boundary layer separation introduces a pressure harmonic phase shift, which is not presicted by inviscid methods.

This paper contains a study of the similarity solutions of the boundary layer equations for the case of strong blowing through a porous surface. The main part of the boundary layer is thick and almost inviscid in these conditions, but there is a thin viscous region where the boundary layer merges into the main stream. The asymptotic solutions appropriate to these two regions are matched to one another when the blowing velocity is large. The skin friction is found from the inner solution, which is independent of the outer solution, but the displacement thickness involves both solutions and is of more complicated form.

Number Of Cycles

In this paper, a new plate structure has been found with the change of profile according to the sine function which we temporarily call as the sinusoidal plate. The classical plate theory and Galerkin’s technique have been utilized in estimating the nonlinear vibration behavior of the new non-rectangular plates reinforced by functionally graded (FG) graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) resting on the Kerr foundation. The FG-GNP plates were assumed to have two horizontal variable edges according to the sine function. Four different configurations of the FG-GNP plates based on the number of cycles of sine function were analyzed. The material characteristics of the GNPs were evaluated in terms of two models called the Halpin–Tsai micromechanical model and the rule of mixtures. First, to verify this method, the natural frequencies of new non-rectangular plates made of metal were compared with those obtained by the Finite Element Method (FEM). Then, the numerical outcomes are validated by comparing with the previous papers for rectangular FGM/GNP plates — a special case of this structure. Furthermore, the impacts of the thermal environment, geometrical parameters, and the elastic foundation on the dynamical responses are scrutinized by the 2D/3D graphical results and coded in Wolfram-Mathematica. The results of this work proved that the introduced approach has the advantages of being fast, having high accuracy, and involving uncomplicated calculation.
