The general problem of the two-dimensional state of stress in a strip of elastic material under normal loading is considered. A series expansion of displacement functions generated along lines suggested by Mindlin and Medick [1] for dynamical questions arising in plate theory is employed in the solution. The variational procedure generates a set of variational equations of motion. In order to obtain useful results the series is truncated in such a way that the analysis gives an approximate solution valid for ratios of loaded length to plate thickness greater than unity.

Free vibration of laminated composite and soft core sandwich plates resting on Winkler–Pasternak foundations using four-variable refined plate theory are presented. The theory accounts for the hyperbolic distribution of the transverse shear strains through the plate thickness, and satisfies the zero traction boundary conditions on the surfaces of the plate without using shear correction factors. Equations of motion are derived from the dynamic version of the principle of virtual work. Navier technique is employed to obtain the closed-form solutions of antisymmetric cross-ply, angle-ply, and soft core laminates or soft core sandwich plates resting on elastic foundations. Numerical results obtained using present theory are compared with three-dimensional elasticity solutions and those computed using the first-order and the other higher-order theories. It can be concluded that the proposed theory is not only accurate, but also efficient in predicting the natural frequencies of laminated composite and soft core sandwich plates resting on Winkler–Pasternak foundations.

AbstractThe differences between numerically approximated partial derivatives and partial derivatives obtained by integrating the variational equations are computed for Comet P/d’Arrest. The effect of errors in the IAU adopted system of masses, normally used in the integration of the equations of motion of comets of this type, is investigated. It is concluded that the resulting effects are negligible when compared with the observed discrepancies in the motion of this comet.

This paper describes steady two-dimensional disturbances forced on the interface of a two-layer fluid by flow over an isolated obstacle. The oncoming flow speed is close to the linear longwave speed and the layer densities, layer depths and obstacle height are chosen so that the equations of motion reduce to the forced two-dimensional Korteweg–de Vries equation with cubic nonlinearity, i.e. the forced extended Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation. The distinctive feature noted here is the appearance in the far lee-wave wake behind obstacles in subcritical flow of a ‘table-top’ wave extending almost one-dimensionally for many obstacles widths across the flow. Numerical integrations show that the most important parameter determining whether this wave appears is the departure from criticality, with the wave appearing in slightly subcritical flows but being destroyed by two-dimensional effects behind even quite long ridges in even moderately subcritical flow. The wave appears after the flow has passed through a transition from subcritical to supercritical over the obstacle and its leading and trailing edges resemble dissipationless leaps standing in supercritical flow. Two-dimensional steady supercritical flows are related to one-dimensional unsteady flows with time in the unsteady flow associated with a slow cross-stream variable in the two-dimensional flows. Thus the wide cross-stream extent of the table-top wave appears to derive from the combination of its occurrence in a supercritical region embedded in the subcritical flow and the propagation without change of form of table-top waves in one-dimensional unsteady flow. The table-top wave here is associated with a resonant steepening of the transition above the obstacle and a consequent twelve-fold increase in drag. Remarkably, the table-top wave is generated equally strongly and extends laterally equally as far behind an axisymmetric obstacle as behind a ridge and so leads to subcritical flows differing significantly from linear predictions.

We find the relationship between the Jackiw-Teitelboim model of two-dimensional gravity and the SL (2, R) induced gravity. These are shown to be related to a two-dimensional gauge theory obtained by dimensionally reducing the Chern-Simons action of the 2+1 dimensional gravity. We present an explicit solution to the equations of motion of the auxiliary field of the Jackiw-Teitelboim model in the light-cone gauge. A renormalization of the cosmological constant is also given.

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.

A plate weakened by an oblique penetration of a circular cylindrical hole has been investigated. The stress concentration around the hole is determined by a finite-element method. The results are compared with experimental data and other analytical works. Parametric studies of effects of angle of inclination, plate thickness, and width are performed. The maximum stress concentration factor (SCF) obtained from the finite-element analysis is higher than experimental results, and this deviation increases with the increase of angle of skewness. The major reason for this difference is attributed to the shear-action between layers parallel to the plate surface which cannot be directly included in the two-dimensional elements. An empirical formula is derived which accounts for the shear-action and renders the finite-element predictions in line with experimentally observed data.

In this paper, the effect of geometrical nonlinear terms, caused by a space fixed point force, on the frequencies of oscillations of a rotating disk with clamped-free boundary conditions is investigated. The nonlinear geometrical equations of motion are based on Von Karman plate theory. Using the eigenfunctions of a stationary disk as approximating functions in Galerkin’s method, the equations of motion are transformed into a set of coupled nonlinear Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs). These equations are then used to find the equilibrium positions of the disk at different discrete blade speeds. At any given speed, the governing equations are linearized about the equilibrium solution of the disk under the application of a space fixed external force. These linearized equations are then used to find the oscillation frequencies of the disk considering the effect of large deformation. Using multi mode approximation and different levels of nonlinearity, the frequency response of the disk considering the effect of geometrical nonlinear terms are studied. It is found that at the linear critical speed, the nonlinear frequency of the corresponding mode is not zero. Results are presented that illustrate the effect of the magnitude of disk displacement upon the frequency response characteristics. It is also found that for each mode, including the effect of the geometrical nonlinear terms due to the applied load causes a separation in the frequency responses of its backward and forward traveling waves when the disk is stationary. This effect is similar to the effect of a space fixed constraint in the linear problem. In order to verify the numerical results, experiments are conducted and the results are presented.

In this study, the buckling of functionally graded (FG) nanoporous metal foam nanoplates is investigated by combining the refined plate theory with the non-local elasticity theory. The refined plate theory takes into account transverse shear strains which vary quadratically through the thickness without considering the shear correction factor. Based on Eringen’s non-local differential constitutive relations, the equations of motion are derived from Hamilton’s principle. The analytical solutions for the buckling of FG nanoporous metal foam nanoplates are obtained via Navier’s method. Moreover, the effects of porosity distributions, porosity coefficient, small scale parameter, axial compression ratio, mode number, aspect ratio and length-to-thickness ratio on the buckling loads are discussed. In order to verify the validity of present analysis, the analytical results have been compared with other previous studies.

Chaotic motion of a simply supported functionally graded materials (FGM) square thin plate under one-to-two internal resonance is studied in this paper. The FGM plate is subjected to the transversal and in-plane excitations. Material properties are assumed to be temperature-dependent and change continuously throughout the thickness of the plate. The temperature variation is assumed to occur in the thickness direction only and satisfy the steady-state heat transfer equation. Based on the Reddy’s third-order plate theory and Hamilton’s principle, the nonlinear governing equations of motion for the FGM plate are derived by using the Galerkin’s method to describe the transverse oscillation in the first two modes Numerical simulations illustrate that there exist chaotic motion for the FGM rectangular plate.
