A waveguide absorber removes and dissipates vibrational energy from a structure by traveling waves. The performance of a wave guide absorber is determined by the driving point impedance. In this study a viscoelastic circular plate waveguide absorber is developed and it is shown that the driving point impedance of the viscoelastic wave guide absorber can be theoretically predicted using a Mindlin type plate theory. To validate the results of this study, viscoelastic circular plates were tested to determine their driving point impedance.

Free vibration analysis of the porous functionally graded circular plates has been presented on the basis of classical plate theory. The three defined coupled equations of motion of the porous functionally graded circular/annular plate were decoupled to one differential equation of free transverse vibrations of plate. The one universal general solution was obtained as a linear combination of the multiparametric special functions for the functionally graded circular and annular plates with even and uneven porosity distributions. The multiparametric frequency equations of functionally graded porous circular plate with diverse boundary conditions were obtained in the exact closed-form. The influences of the even and uneven distributions of porosity, power-law index, diverse boundary conditions and the neglected effect of the coupling in-plane and transverse displacements on the dimensionless frequencies of the circular plate were comprehensively studied for the first time. The formulated boundary value problem, the exact method of solution and the numerical results for the perfect and imperfect functionally graded circular plates have not yet been reported.

Abstract In the paper the influence function and the method of partial discretization in free axisymmetric vibration analysis of multilayered circular plates of constant and linearly variable thickness were presented. The effects of shear deformation and rotary inertia for the core as well as the facings were neglected. An analytical investigation based on the classical plate theory was made for the multilayered plate which satisfies Sokołowski’s condition. Discretization of mass and replacing stiffness of a fixed circular plate were presented. Formulas of influence matrix and Bernstein-Kieropian’s estimators for different steps of discretization were defined. The influence of variable distribution of parameters on the value of double estimators of natural basic and higher frequency of a sandwich circular plate was investigated.

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.

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.
