The techniques of holographic interferometry are applied to study the high-frequency transverse vibrations of a simply supported rectangular plate. Over 110 vibration modes were identified using stored beam holography, at frequencies ranging from 162 cps to 20,000 cps. In addition, three very high modes were identified at frequencies up to 76.8 kcps. The corresponding modal numbers were m = 17, n = 31, for the highest mode identified. Time average holograms were made of these and other modes, and photographs made from the holograms are included herein. The experimental mode shapes and frequencies were generally in agreement with classical plate theory, except for the three highest modes. The latter agreed with Mindlin’s plate theory, which includes rotary inertia and shear effects. Other applications of holography to dynamics are briefly discussed.

The present work analyses the buckling and vibration behaviour of non-homogeneous rectangular plates of uniform thickness on the basis of classical plate theory when the two opposite edges are simply supported and are subjected to linearly varying in-plane force. For non-homogeneity of the plate material it is assumed that young's modulus and density of the plate material vary exponentially along axial direction. The governing partial differential equation of motion of such plates has been reduced to an ordinary differential equation using the sine function for mode shapes between the simply supported edges. This resulting equation has been solved numerically employing differential quadrature method for three different combinations of clamped, simply supported and free boundary conditions at the other two edges. The effect of various parameters has been studied on the natural frequencies for the first three modes of vibration. Critical buckling loads have been computed. Three dimensional mode shapes have been presented. Comparison has been made with the known results.

An analysis and numerical results are presented for buckling and transverse vibration of orthotropic nonhomogeneous rectangular plates of variable thickness using two dimensional boundary characteristic orthogonal polynomials in the Rayleigh–Ritz method on the basis of classical plate theory when uniformly distributed in-plane loading is acting at two opposite edges clamped/simply supported. The Gram–Schmidt process has been used to generate orthogonal polynomials. The nonhomogeneity of the plate is assumed to arise due to linear variations in elastic properties and density of the plate material with the in-plane coordinates. The two dimensional thickness variation is taken as the Cartesian product of linear variations along the two concurrent edges of the plate. Effect of various plate parameters such as nonhomogeneity parameters, aspect ratio together with thickness variation, and in-plane load on the natural frequencies has been illustrated for the first three modes of vibration for four different combinations of clamped, simply supported, and free edges correct to four decimal places. Three dimensional mode shapes for a specified plate for all the four boundary conditions have been plotted. By allowing the frequency to approach zero, the critical buckling loads in compression for various values of plate parameters have been computed correct to six significant digits. A comparison of results with those available in the literature has been presented.

Analysis and numerical results are presented for free transverse vibrations of isotropic rectangular plates having arbitrarily varying non-homogeneity with the in-plane coordinates along the two concurrent edges on the basis of Kirchhoff plate theory. For the non-homogeneity, a general type of variation for Young’s modulus and density of the plate material has been assumed. Generalized differential quadrature method has been used to obtain the eigenvalue problem for such model of plates for four different combinations of boundary conditions at the edges namely, (i) fully clamped, (ii) two opposite edges are clamped and other two are simply supported, (iii) two opposite edges are clamped and other two are free, and (iv) two opposite edges are simply supported and other two are free. By solving these eigenvalue problems using software MATLAB, the lowest three eigenvalues have been reported as the first three natural frequencies for the first three modes of vibration. The effect of various plate parameters on the vibration characteristics has been analysed. Three dimensional mode shapes have been plotted. A comparison of results with those available in literature has been presented.

The relatively new experimental technique of holographic interferometry is described, and time-average holography is discussed. Time-average holography has been applied to study high-frequency transverse vibrations of a uniform cantilever beam. Modes from the 5th through the 34th were identified and recorded on holograms, the corresponding resonant frequencies ranged from 500–25,665 cps. In addition, the 77th mode was recorded at 99,395 cps, which demonstrates that the technique is workable at frequencies on the order of 100 kc. The experimental mode shapes and frequencies show good correlation with the Timoshenko beam theory. Other applications of holography to dynamics are briefly discussed.

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.

The three partial differential equations derived by Dr. E. Reissner2, 3 have been reduced to a fourth-order partial differential equation resembling that of the classical plate theory and to a second-order differential equation for determining a stress function. The general solution for the two partial differential equations has been applied to a simply supported plate with a constant load p and to a plate with two opposite edges simply supported and the other two edges free. Numerical calculations have been made for the simply supported plate and the results compared with those of classical theory. The calculations for a wide range of parameters indicate that the deviation is small.

Graphene sheets are the basis of nanoelectromechanical (NEMS) mass resonators that are in recent years experimentally used for detection of specific gas molecules in air. The aim of this paper is to theoretically investigate the possibility of application of graphene sheets in detection of Chemical Warfare Agents (CWA’s). By application of the nonlocal theory of elasticity and classical plate theory, equations that describe natural vibrations of the simply supported single-layer graphene sheet (SLGS) and double-layer graphene sheet (DLGS) were derived. In order to detect attached CWA molecule, the frequency shift method was applied. The results indicate that the proposed methodology could be successfully implemented in order to detect an attached CWA molecule. However, only specific mode shapes could be employed for such detection.

Free axisymmetric vibrations of polar orthotropic annular plates of variable thickness resting on a Pasternak-type elastic foundation have been studied based on the classical plate theory. Hamilton’s energy principle has been used to derive the governing differential equation of motion. Frequency equations for an annular plate for two different combinations of edge conditions have been obtained employing Chebyshev collocation technique. Numerical results thus obtained have been presented in the form of tables and graphs. The effect of foundation parameter and thickness variation together with various plate parameters such as rigidity ratio, radius ratio, and taper parameter on natural frequencies has been investigated for the first three modes of vibration. Mode shapes for specified plates have been presented. A close agreement of results with those available in the literature shows the versatility of the present technique.
