Support Reactions

The tendency of a laterally loaded, unilaterally constrained, rectangular plate to separate from its simple supports motivates one to consider the actual extent of contact. In the case of a square plate, an appropriately chosen finite integral transform converts the dual series equations that result from the Levy-Nadai approach to one singular integral equation which can be solved by standard methods. Being a receding contact problem, the extent of contact depends on the geometry and elastic properties of the plate only. The support reactions are integrated to confirm that total equilibrium is obtained using classical plate theory.

Numerical Approaches

The corners of a simply supported, laterally loaded rectangular plate must be anchored to prevent them from lifting off the supports. If no such anchors are provided, and the supports are unilateral or capable of exerting forces in one direction only, parts of the plate will bend away from the supports upon loading. The loss of contact when uplift of laterally loaded rectangular plates is not prevented is examined in this paper. Arbitrary centrally symmetric loading is considered. Finite integral transforms convert the coupled dual-series equations that result from the Levy-Nadai approach to two coupled singular integral equations. Different solution methods are applicable for sagged and unsagged supports; these two numerical approaches are discussed in detail.

Classical Plate Theory

The problem of estimating the bending stress distribution in the vicinity of cracks located on a single line in an elastic plate subjected to concentrated moment is examined. Using classical plate theory and integral transform techniques, the general formulae for the bending moment and twisting moment in an elastic plate containing cracks located on a single line are derived. The solution is obtained in detail for the case in which there is a single crack in an infinite plate, and the bending stress intensity factor is determined in a closed form. Two examples are considered to illustrate the present approach.

An analysis is presented to the study the free vibrations of non- homogeneous clamped square plate with bidirectional temperature variations. It is assumed that thickness of the plate varies exponentially in one direction. Nonhomogeneity of plate material is assumed to arise due to parabolic variation of density along x-direction. Rayleigh-Ritz technique on the basis of classical plate theory is applied to solve the fourth order differential equation of motion. Numerical values of frequency are calculated with the help of Mathematica (Software) and are presented in tabular and graphical forms for different values of thermal gradient, taper constant and non-homogeneity constant.

Shear Fields

The response of a square plate, simply and unilaterally supported, to pressure loading is numerically treated. The support system consists of discrete elastic springs whose stiffnesses range from near-rigid to compliant character. It is found that, except for rather low support stiffnesses, the plate will lift off the foundation. After demonstrating good agreement with a recent analytical work, the deflections and shear fields are provided. The response mode changes dramatically as the supports approach rigidity.

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.

 In this paper, the governing equations of rectangular plates with variable thickness subjected to mechanical load are established by using the classical plate theory, the geometrical nonlinearity in von Karman-Donnell sense. Solutions of the problem are derived according to Galerkin method. Nonlinear dynamic responses, critical dynamic loads are obtained by using Runge-Kutta method and the Budiansky–Roth criterion. Effect of volume-fraction index k and some geometric factors are considered and presented in numerical results.

Application Fields

Adhesive joint technology has been developed gradually, and the application fields of this type of joints have been expanded increasingly since they reduce the weight of the applications, provide uniform stress distribution across the joints, allow to bond similar, and dissimilar materials, and contribute to dampen the shock, and vibration. However, the performance of the adhesive joints under high loading rate such as blast or ballistic loading has been studied by few researchers. In this study, fully laminated plates consisting of 6061 aluminum plates (15” in diameter and 1/16” thick) and FM300K epoxy film adhesive were tested under shock wave loading. Full displacement field over the testing plates were obtained by TRC-SDIC technique, and the strain on the plates were computed by classical plate theory for large deflections. FEM model was analyzed and the results were compared with experimental results.

Modified Couple Stress

The free vibration of single-layered graphene sheet (SLGS) has been studied by nonlocal modified couple stress theory (NMCS), analytically. Governing equation of motion for SLGS is obtained via thin plate theory in conjunction with Hamilton’s principle for two cases: (1) using nonlocal parameter only for stress tensor, (2) using nonlocal parameter for both stress and couple stress tensors. Navier’s approach has been used to solve the governing equations for simply supported boundary conditions. It is found that the frequency ratios decrease with increasing nonlocal parameter and also with enhancing vibration modes, but increase with raising length scale parameter. The nonlocal and length scale parameters are more prominent in higher vibration modes. The obtained results have been compared with the previous studies obtained by using classical plate theory, the modified couple stress theory and nonlocal elasticity theory, separately.
