Forced axisymmetric response of polar orthotropic circular plates of linearly varying thickness resting on Winkler type of elastic foundation has been studied on the basis of classical plate theory. An approximate solution of problem has been obtained by Rayleigh Ritz method, which employs functions based upon the static deflection of polar orthotropic circular plates. The effect of transverse loadings has been studied for orthotropic circular plate resting on elastic foundation. The transverse deflections and bending moments are presented for various values of taper parameter, rigidity ratio, foundation parameter, and flexibility parameter under different types of loadings. A comparison of results with those available in literature shows an excellent agreement.

This paper is concerned with the axisymmetric vibration problem of polar orthotropic circular plates of quadratically varying thickness and resting on an elastic foundation. The problem is solved by using the Rayleigh–Ritz method with boundary characteristic orthonormal polynomials for approximating the deflection function. Numerical results are computed for frequencies, nodal radii and mode shapes. Three-dimensional graphs are also plotted for the first four normal modes of axisymmetric vibration of plates with free, simply-supported and clamped edge conditions for various values of taper, orthotropy and foundation parameters.

Vibrations of single-layered graphene sheets subjected to a longitudinal magnetic field are considered. The Winkler-type and Pasternak-type foundation models are employed to reproduce the surrounding elastic medium. The governing equation is based on the modified couple stress theory and Kirchhoff–Love hypotheses. The effect of the magnetic field is taken into account due to the Lorentz force deriving from Maxwell’s equations. The developed approach is based on applying the Ritz method. The proposed method is tested by a comparison with results from the existing literature. The numerical calculations are performed for different boundary conditions, including the mixed ones. The influence of the material length scale parameter, the elastic foundation parameters, the magnetic parameter and the boundary conditions on vibration frequencies is studied. It is observed that an increase of the magnetic parameter, as well as the elastic foundation parameters, brings results closer to the classical plate theory results. Furthermore, the current study can be applied to the design of microplates and nanoplates and their optimal usage.

Elastically Restrained

The present paper deals with exact solutions for the free vibration characteristics of thin circular plates elastically restrained against translation and resting on Winkler-type elastic foundation based on the classical plate theory. Parametric investigations are carried out for estimating the influence of edge restraint against translation and stiffness of the elastic foundation on the natural frequencies of circular plates. The elastic edge restraint against translation and the presence of elastic foundation has been found to have a profound influence on vibration characteristics of the circular plate undergoing free transverse vibrations. Computations are carried out for natural frequencies of vibrations for varying values of translational stiffness ratio and stiffness parameter of Winkler-type foundation. Results are presented for twelve modes of vibration both in tabular and graphical form for use in design. Extensive data is tabulated so that pertinent conclusions can be arrived at on the influence of translational edge restraint and the foundation stiffness ratio of the Winkler foundation on the natural frequencies of uniform isotropic circular plates.

Based on the mathematical similarity of the eigenvalue problem of the Reddy’s third-order plate theory (RPT) and the classical plate theory (CPT), relationships between the solutions of axisymmetric vibration or buckling of functionally graded material (FGM) circular plates based on RPT and those of isotropic homogeneous circular plates based on CPT are presented, from which one can easily obtain the RPT solutions of axisymmetric vibration or buckling of FGM circular plates expressed in terms of the well-known CPT solutions of isotropic circular plates without much tedious mathematics. Effects of rotary inertia are not considered in the present analysis. The relationships obtained from the present analysis may be used to check the validity, convergence and accuracy of numerical results of FGM plates based on RPT, and also show clearly the intrinsic features of the effect of transverse shear deformation on the classical solutions.

Given the unique and extremely valuable properties, research has significantly focussed on graphene sheets (GSs). To premeditate the small-scale effect, the present work applies the nonlocal theory to study the buckling behavior of a double-layered GS (DLGS) embedded in an elastic foundation. To derive the equation, classical plate theory is adopted. For the elastic foundation, Pasternak-type model is used. In terms of buckling response, a meshless method is utilized to compute simulation results. Accordingly, we examine the effects of aspect ratio, geometry, boundary conditions and nonlocal parameters on the buckling responses of DLGSs.

Asymmetric Vibration

In the present paper, asymmetric vibration of polar orthotropic annular circular plates of quadratically varying thickness resting on Winkler elastic foundation is studied by using boundary characteristic orthonormal polynomials in Rayleigh-Ritz method. Convergence of the results is tested and comparison is made with results already available in the existing literature. Numerical results for the first ten frequencies for various values of parameters describing width of annular plate, thickness profile, material orthotropy and foundation constant for all three possible combinations of clamped, simply supported and free edge conditions are shown and discussed. It is found that (a) higher elastic property in circumferential direction leads to higher stiffness against lateral vibration; (b) Lateral vibration characteristics ofF-Fplatesis more sensitive towards parametric changes in material orthotropy and foundation stiffness thanC-CandS-Splates; (c) Effect of quadratical thickness variation on fundamental frequency is more significant in cases ofC-CandS-S platesthan that ofF-Fplates. Thickness profile which is convex relative to plate center-line tends to result in higher stiffness of annular plates against lateral vibration than the one which is concave and (d) Fundamental mode of vibration ofC-CandS-Splatesis axisymmetrical while that ofF-Fplatesis asymmetrical.
