In this work, an attempt is done to apply the Kirchhoff plate theory to find out the vibrational analyses of a nanoplate incorporating surface irregularity effects. The effects of surface irregularity on natural frequency of vibration of nanomaterials, especially for nanoplates, have not been investigated before, and most of the previous research have been carried for regular nanoplates. Therefore, it must be emphasized that the vibrations of irregular nanoplate are novel and applicable for the nanodevices, in which nanoplates act as the main structure of the nanocomposite. The surface irregularity is assumed in the parabolic form at the surface of the nanoplate. A novel equation of motion and frequency equation is derived. The obtained results provide a better representation of the vibration behavior of irregular nanoplates. It has been observed that the presence of surface irregularity affects considerably on the natural frequency of vibrational nanoplates. In addition, it has been seen that the natural frequency of nanoplate decreases with the increase of surface irregularity parameter. Finally, it can be concluded that the present results may serve as useful references for the application and design of nano-oscillators and nanodevices, in which nanoplates act as the most prevalent nanocomposites structural element.

Kirchhoff Plate Theory

As a compact and durable design concept, energy harvesting skin (EH skin), which consists of piezoelectric patches directly attached onto the surface of a vibrating structure as one embodiment, has been recently proposed. This study aims at developing an electromechanically-coupled analytical model of the EH skin so as to understand its electromechanical behavior and get physical insights about important design considerations. Based on the Kirchhoff plate theory, the Hamilton’s principle is used to derive the differential equations of motion. The Rayleigh-Ritz method is implemented to calculate the natural frequency and the corresponding mode shapes of the EH skin. The electrical circuit equation is derived by substituting the piezoelectric constitutive relation into Gauss’s law. Finally, the steady-state output voltage is obtained by solving the differential equations of motion and electrical circuit equation simultaneously. The results of the analytical model are verified by comparing those of the finite element analysis (FEA) in a hierarchical manner.

Exact Relationship

This paper presents an exact relationship between the natural frequencies of Reddy third-order plate theory and those of classical Kirchhoff plate theory for simply supported, polygonal isotropic plates, including rectangular plates. The relationship for the natural frequencies enables one to obtain the solutions of the third-order plate theory from the known Kirchhoff plate theory for the same problem. As examples, some vibration frequencies for rectangular and regular polygonal plates are determined using this relationship. [S0739-3717(00)01601-9]
