A series solution for the transverse vibration of Mindlin rectangular plates with elastic point supports around the edges is studied. The series solution for the problem is obtained using improved Fourier series method, in which the vibration displacements and the cross-sectional rotations of the midplane are represented by a double Fourier cosine series and four supplementary functions. The supplementary functions are expressed as the combination of trigonometric functions and a single cosine series expansion and are introduced to remove the potential discontinuities associated with the original admissible functions along the edges when they are viewed as periodic functions defined over the entire x-y plane. This series solution is approximately accurate in the sense that it explicitly satisfies, to any specified accuracy, both the governing equations and the boundary conditions. The convergence, accuracy, stability, and efficiency of the proposed method have been examined through a series of numerical examples. Some numerical examples about the nondimensional frequency and mode shapes of Mindlin rectangular plates with different point-supported edge conditions are given.

An analysis method has been proposed for the vibration analysis of the Mindlin rectangular plates with general elastically boundary supports, in which the vibration displacements and the cross-sectional rotations of the mid-plane are sought as the linear combination of a double Fourier cosine series and auxiliary series functions. The use of these supplementary functions is to solve the potential discontinuity associated with the x-derivative and y-derivative of the original function along the four edges, so this method can be applied to get the exact solution. Finally the numerical results are presented to validate the correct of the method.

An analysis method is proposed for the vibration analysis of the Mindlin rectangular plates with general elastically restrained edges, in which the vibration displacements and the cross-sectional rotations of the mid-plane are expressed as the linear combination of a double Fourier cosine series and four one-dimensional Fourier series. The use of these supplementary functions is to solve the possible discontinuities with first derivatives at each edge. So this method can be applied to get the exact solution for vibration of plates with general elastic boundary conditions. The matrix eigenvalue equation which is equivalent to governing differential equations of the plate can be derived through using the boundary conditions and the governing equations based on Mindlin plate theory. The natural frequencies can be got through solving the matrix equation. Finally the numerical results are presented to validate the accuracy of the method.

This study aimed to develop series analytical solutions based on the Mindlin plate theory for the free vibrations of functionally graded material (FGM) rectangular plates. The material properties of FGM rectangular plates are assumed to vary along their thickness, and the volume fractions of the plate constituents are defined by a simple power-law function. The series solutions consist of the Fourier cosine series and auxiliary functions of polynomials. The series solutions were established by satisfying governing equations and boundary conditions in the expanded space of the Fourier cosine series. The proposed solutions were validated through comprehensive convergence studies on the first six vibration frequencies of square plates under four combinations of boundary conditions and through comparison of the obtained convergent results with those in the literature. The convergence studies indicated that the solutions obtained for different modes could converge from the upper or lower bounds to the exact values or in an oscillatory manner. The present solutions were further employed to determine the first six vibration frequencies of FGM rectangular plates with various aspect ratios, thickness-to-width ratios, distributions of material properties and combinations of boundary conditions.

Fourier Series Method

The present work is concerned with dynamic characteristics of beam-stiffened rectangular plate by an improved Fourier series method (IFSM), including mobility characteristics, structural intensity, and transient response. The artificial coupling spring technology is introduced to establish the clamped or elastic connections at the interface between the plate and beams. According to IFSM, the displacement field of the plate and the stiffening beams are expressed as a combination of the Fourier cosine series and its auxiliary functions. Then, the Rayleigh–Ritz method is applied to solve the unknown Fourier coefficients, which determines the dynamic characteristics of the coupled structure. The Newmark method is adopted to obtain the transient response of the coupled structure, where the Rayleigh damping is taken into consideration. The rapid convergence of the current method is shown, and good agreement between the predicted results and FEM results is also revealed. On this basis, the effects of the factors related to the stiffening beam (including the length, orientations, and arrangement spacing of beams) and elastic parameters, as well as damping coefficients on the dynamic characteristics of the stiffened plate are investigated.

An improved Fourier series method (IFSM) is applied to study the free and forced vibration characteristics of the moderately thick laminated composite rectangular plates on the elastic Winkler or Pasternak foundations which have elastic uniform supports and multipoints supports. The formulation is based on the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) and combined with artificial virtual spring technology and the plate-foundation interaction by establishing the two-parameter foundation model. Under the framework of this paper, the displacement and rotation functions are expressed as a double Fourier cosine series and two supplementary functions which have no relations to boundary conditions. The Rayleigh-Ritz technique is applied to solve all the series expansion coefficients. The accuracy of the results obtained by the present method is validated by being compared with the results of literatures and Finite Element Method (FEM). In this paper, some results are obtained by analyzing the varying parameters, such as different boundary conditions, the number of layers and points, the spring stiffness parameters, and foundation parameters, which can provide a benchmark for the future research.

Rectangular Groove

In this paper, the simple yet effective mode-matching technique is utilized to compute TE-backscattering from a 2D filled rectangular groove in an infinite perfect electric conductor (PEC). The tangential magnetic fields inside and outside of the groove are represented as the sums of infinite series of cosine harmonics (half-range Fourier cosine series). By applying the continuity of the tangential magnetic field, these modes are matched on the groove to obtain the series coefficients by solving a system of linear equations. For this purpose, some oscillatory logarithmic singular integrals involving Hankel and trigonometric functions are solved numerically, starting by removing the logarithmic singularity via integration by parts. In the following, the new well-behaved highly oscillatory integrals are computed using efficient methods, and several comparisons are made to demonstrate the validity and ability of the presented procedure.
