The influence of shear deformation and rotatory inertia on dynamic response of elastic rectangular plates subject to in-plane loads increasing with time is discussed using Mindlin’s plate theory. The qualitative effect of those factors on transverse displacements is estimated. It is shown that this effect becomes essential only if the plate is thick and the number of half-waves along the plate axes in the deformation mode is large.

This paper is concerned with nonlinear free vibrations of generally laminated anisotropic elastic plates. Based on Reissner’s variational principle a nonlinear plate theory is developed. The effects of transverse shear, rotatory inertia, transverse normal stress, and transverse normal contraction or extension are included in this theory. Using the Galerkin procedure and principle of harmonic balance, approximate solutions to governing equations of unsymmetrically laminated rectangular plates including transverse shear, rotatory inertia, and transverse normal stress are formulated for various boundary conditions. Numerical results for the ratio of nonlinear frequency to linear frequency of unsymmetric angle-ply and cross-ply laminates are presented graphically for various values of elastic properties, fiber orientation angle, number of layers, and aspect ratio and for different boundary conditions. Present results are also compared with available data.

This article presents experimental studies on the dynamic response of a thin rectangular plate with clamped boundary conditions subjected to a moving mass. The designed experimental setup is described in detail, and the obtained experimental results are compared with theoretical solutions. In this regard, the governing motion equation of the thin rectangular plate excited by a moving mass is formulated based on the classical plate theory, and the eigenfunction expansion technique is used to solve the equation. Parametric studies are carried out to investigate the effect of some parameters, including the moving object mass and velocity, as well as the plate’s aspect ratio and thickness, on the dynamic response of the plate based on the time history of the plate’s central point deflection.

Abstract The influence of rotatory inertia and shear deformation on the flexural vibrations of isotropic, rectangular plates is investigated. Three independent families of modes are possible when the edges are simply supported. Coupling of the modes is studied for the case of one pair of parallel edges free and the other pair simply supported. The development of the coupling is traced by means of a solution for elastically supported edges. Special attention is given to the higher modes and frequencies of vibration which are beyond the range of applicability of the classical theory of thin plates.

Abstract The frequency (or phase velocity) of axially symmetric free vibrations in an elastic, isotropic, circular cylinder of medium thickness is studied on the basis of the three-dimensional linear theory of elasticity and several different shell theories. To be in good agreement with the solution of the three-dimensional equations for short wave lengths, an approximate theory has to include the influence of rotatory inertia and transverse shear deformation, for example, in a manner similar to Mindlin’s plate theory. A shell theory of this (Timoshenko) type is deduced from the three-dimensional elasticity theory. From a comparison of phase velocities it appears that, to a good approximation, membrane and curvature effects on one hand, and on the other hand, flexural, rotatory-inertia, and shear-deformation effects are mutually exclusive in two ranges of wave lengths, separated by a “transition” wave length. Thus, in the full range of wave lengths, the associated lowest phase velocities may be determined on the basis of the membrane shell theory (for wave lengths larger than the transition wave length) and on the basis of Mindlin’s plate theory (for wave lengths smaller than the transition wave length).

A procedure in designing optimal Dynamic Vibration Absorbers (DVA) for a structurally damped beam system subjected to an arbitrary distributed harmonic force excitation, is presented. The Timoshenko beam theory is used to assess the effects of rotatory inertia and shear deformation. The method provides flexibility of choosing the number of absorbers depending upon the number of significant modes which are to be suppressed. Uniform cross-sectional area is considered for the beam and each absorber is modeled as a spring-mass-damper system. For each absorber with a selected mass, the optimum stiffness and damping coefficients are determined in order to minimize the beam dynamic response at the resonant frequencies for which they are operated. For this purpose, absorbers each tuned to a different resonance, are used to suppress any arbitrarily number of resonances of the beam. The interaction between absorbers is also accounted for in the analysis. The optimum tuning and damping ratios of the absorbers, each tuned to the mode of concern, are determined numerically by sloving a min-max problem. The Direct Updated Method is used in optimization procedure and the results show that the optimum values of the absorber parameters depend upon various factors, namely: the position of the applied force, the location where the absorbers are attached, the position at which the beam response should be minimized, and also the beam characteristics such as boundary conditions, rotatory inertia, shear deformation, structural damping, and cross sectional geometry. Through the given examples, the feasibility of using proposed study is demonstrated to minimize the beam dynamic response over a broad frequency range. The resulting curves giving the non-dimensional absorber parameters can he used for practical applications, and some interesting conclusions can be drown from the study of them.

The nonlinear dynamic response of functionally graded rectangular plates under combined transverse and in-plane excitations is investigated under the conditions of 1 : 1, 1 : 2 and 1 : 3 internal resonance. The material properties are assumed to be temperature-dependent and vary along the thickness direction. The thermal effect due to one-dimensional temperature gradient is included in the analysis. The governing equations of motion for FGM rectangular plates are derived by using Reddy's third-order plate theory and Hamilton's principle. Galerkin's approach is utilized to reduce the governing differential equations to a two-degree-of-freedom nonlinear system including quadratic and cubic nonlinear terms, which are then solved numerically by using 4th-order Runge-Kutta algorithm. The effects of in-plane excitations on the internal resonance relationship and nonlinear dynamic response of FGM plates are studied.

The dynamic buckling of rectangular plates with the elastically restrained edges subjected to in-plane impact loading is investigated. Budiansky–Hutchinson criterion is employed for calculation of dynamic buckling loads. The displacement function concluding the elastically restrained boundary condition is expressed as Navier’s double Fourier series. In order to solve the large deformation equations of plate, Galerkin method is applied. Also, the non-linear coupled time integration of the governing equation of plate is solved by using fourth-order Runge–Kutta method. The correctness of the method presented in the paper has been validated by comparing the results with the published literature. It is proved that the rotational restraint stiffness that is usually ignored by previous researchers plays an important role in dynamic response and dynamic buckling of the rectangular plates subjected to in-plane impact loading. Furthermore, the influence of the other parameters (initial imperfections, impact duration and geometric dimensions) on the dynamic response and dynamic buckling is studied in detail.
