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).

Abstract An approximate theory of axially symmetric motions of thick, elastic, cylindrical shells, in which the effect of transverse normal stress is retained, is deduced from the three-dimensional theory of elasticity. The present theory contains, in addition to the usual membrane and bending terms, also the influence of rotatory inertia and transverse shear deformation. Thus it may be specialized to a variety of shell, plate, and solid-cylinder equations. The propagation of free harmonic waves in an infinite shell is studied on the basis of the present theory and the three-dimensional theory of elasticity. Excellent agreement is obtained for the phase velocity of the lowest mode of motion for a wide range of the parameters involved.

Qualitative Effect

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.

Transverse Shear Strains

A new first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) has been developed and verified for laminated plates and sandwich plates. Based on the definition of Reissener–Mindlin’s plate theory, the average transverse shear strains, which are constant through the thickness, are improved to vary through the thickness. It is assumed that the displacement and in-plane strain fields of FSDT can approximate, in an average sense, those of three-dimensional theory. Relationship between FSDT and three-dimensional theory has been systematically established in the averaged least-square sense. This relationship provides the closed-form recovering relations for three-dimensional variables expressed in terms of FSDT variables as well as the improved transverse shear strains. This paper makes two main contributions. First an enhanced first-order shear deformation theory (EFSDT) has been developed using an available higher-order plate theory. Second, it is shown that the displacement fields of any higher-order plate theories can be recovered by EFSDT variables. The present approach is applied to an efficient higher-order plate theory. Comparisons of deflection and stresses of the laminated plates and sandwich plates using present theory are made with the original FSDT and three-dimensional exact solutions.

Abstract At high frequencies, the flexural vibrations of a plate are described very poorly by the classical (Lagrange) theory because of neglect of the influence of coupling with thickness-shear vibrations. The latter may be taken into account by inclusion of rotatory inertia and shear-deformation terms in the equations. The resulting frequency spectrum is given, in this paper, for the case of axially symmetric vibrations of a circular disk with free edges and is compared with the spectrum predicted by the classical theory.

Elasticity Solutions

The paper presents a novel shear deformation plate theory involving only two variables. Taking a cue from exact three-dimensional theory of elasticity solutions for a plate, hyperbolic functions are used for describing displacement variation across plate thickness. The theory involves only two governing equations, which are uncoupled for statics and are only inertially coupled for dynamics. The shear stress free surface conditions are satisfied. No shear correction factor is required. The theory is variationally consistent, has a strong similarity with classical plate theory, and is simple, yet accurate. Illustrative examples for free vibration and for static flexure demonstrate the effectiveness of the theory.

Variational Asymptotic Method

The focus of this paper is the development of linear, asymptotically correct theories for inhomogeneous orthotropic plates, for example, laminated plates with orthotropic laminae. It is noted that the method used can be easily extended to develop nonlinear theories for plates with generally anisotropic inhomogeneity. The development, based on variational-asymptotic method, begins with three-dimensional elasticity and mathematically splits the analysis into two separate problems: a one-dimensional through-the-thickness analysis and a two-dimensional “plate” analysis. The through-the-thickness analysis provides elastic constants for use in the plate theory and approximate closed-form recovering relations for all truly three-dimensional displacements, stresses, and strains expressed in terms of plate variables. In general, the specific type of plate theory that results from variational-asymptotic method is determined by the method itself. However, the procedure does not determine the plate theory uniquely, and one may use the freedom appeared to simplify the plate theory as much as possible. The simplest and the most suitable for engineering purposes plate theory would be a “Reissner-like” plate theory, also called first-order shear deformation theory. However, it is shown that construction of an asymptotically correct Reissner-like theory for laminated plates is not possible in general. A new point of view on the variational-asymptotic method is presented, leading to an optimization procedure that permits a derived theory to be as close to asymptotical correctness as possible while it is a Reissner-like. This uniquely determines the plate theory. Numerical results from such an optimum Reissner-like theory are presented. These results include comparisons of plate displacement as well as of three-dimensional field variables and are the best of all extant Reissner-like theories. Indeed, they even surpass results from theories that carry many more generalized displacement variables. Although the derivation presented herein is inspired by, and completely equivalent to, the well-known variational-asymptotic method, the new procedure looks different. In fact, one does not have to be familiar with the variational-asymptotic method in order to follow the present derivation.

Treated herein is the elastic buckling of circular plates based on the Reddy plate theory. This plate theroy extends the Kirchhoff (or the classical thin) plate theory to allow for the effect of transverse shear deformation. Unlike the Mindlin’s shear deformation plate theory, there is no need for a shear correction factor in the Reddy plate theory. In this paper, exact buckling solutions are derived for circular plates whose edges are simply supported and elastically restrained against rotation as well. This general edge condition includes the classical simply supported and clamped edges at the limiting, values of the elastic rotational restraint constant. The buckling solutions are expressed in terms of the well-known Kichhoff buckling solutions. A comparison of buckling loads between the Mindlin, Reddy and three-dimensional elasticity plates is also given.

The nonlocal thermo-magneto-electro-mechanical bending behaviors of a three-layered nanoplate are presented in this study. The three-layered nanoplate includes a nano-sheet and two piezo-magnetic face-sheets at the top and the bottom. Temperature distribution is assumed linear along the thickness of the plate. The piezo-magnetic face-sheets are subjected to three-dimensional electric and magnetic potentials. The applied electric and magnetic potentials are applied at top of the face-sheets. The constitutive thermo-electro-magneto relations are derived based on the sinusoidal shear-deformation plate theory and nonlocal electro-magneto-elasticity. Using the principle of virtual work seven equations of the equilibrium are derived. The numerical results of this research indicate that some parameters have considerable effect on the bending behavior of three-layered nanoplate. Nonlocal parameter, applied electric and magnetic potentials, and temperature distribution are important parameters in this analysis.

Principle Of Virtual Displacements

A general refined shell theory that accounts for the transverse deformation, small strains, and moderate rotations is presented. The theory can be reduced to various existing shell theories including: the classical (i.e., linear Kirchhoff-Love) shell theory, the Donnell-Mushtari-Vlasov shell theory, the Leonard-Koiter-Sanders moderate rotations shell theory, the von Ka´rma´n type shear-deformation shell theory and the moderate-rotation shear-deformation plate theory developed by Reddy. The present theory is developed from an assumed displacement field, nonlinear strain-displacement equations that contain small strain and moderate rotation terms, and the principle of virtual displacements. The governing equations exhibit strong coupling between the membrane and bending deformations, which should alter the bending, stability, and post-buckling behavior of certain shell structures predicted using the presently available theories.
