Double Symplectic Eigenfunction Expansion Method of Free Vibration of Rectangular Thin Plates

The free vibration problem of rectangular thin plates is rewritten as a new upper triangular matrix differential system. For the associated operator matrix, we find that the two diagonal block operators are Hamiltonian. Moreover, the existence and completeness of normed symplectic orthogonal eigenfunction systems of these two block operators are demonstrated. Based on the completeness, the general solution of the free vibration of rectangular thin plates is given by double symplectie eigenfunction expansion method.

Hydroelastic Analysis of a Rectangular Plate Subjected to Slamming Loads

A hydroelastic analysis of a rectangular plate subjected to slamming loads is presented. An analytical model based on Wagner theory is used for calculations of transient slamming load on the ship plate. A thin isotropic plate theory is considered for determining the vibration of a rectangular plate excited by an external slamming force. The forced vibration of the plate is calculated by the modal expansion method. Analytical results of the transient response of a rectangular plate induced by slamming loads are compared with numerical calculations from finite element method. The theoretical slamming pressure based on Wagner model is applied on the finite element model of a plate. Good agreement is obtained between the analytical and numerical results for the structural deflection of a rectangular plate due to slamming pressure. The effects of plate dimension and wave profile on the structural vibration are discussed as well. The results show that a low impact velocity and a small wetted radial length of wave yield negligible effects of hydroelasticity.

NON-LINEAR DYNAMIC BEHAVIOR OF THERMOELASTIC CIRCULAR PLATE WITH VARYING THICKNESS SUBJECTED TO NONCONSERVATIVE LOADING

The non-linear dynamic behaviors of thermoelastic circular plate with varying thickness subjected to radially uniformly distributed follower forces are considered. Two coupled non-linear differential equations of motion for this problem are derived in terms of the transverse deflection and radial displacement component of the mid-plane of the plate. Using the Kantorovich averaging method, the differential equation of mode shape of the plate is derived, and the eigenvalue problem is solved by using shooting method. The eigencurves for frequencies and critical loads of the circular plate with unmovable simply supported edge and clamped edge are obtained. The effects of the variation of thickness and temperature on the frequencies and critical loads of the thermoelastic circular plate subjected to radially uniformly distributed follower forces are then discussed.

TRANSVERSE VIBRATION CHARACTERISTICS OF VISCOELASTIC RECTANGULAR PLATE WITH CRACK

Based on the two-dimensional viscoelastic differential constitutive relation and the thin plate theory, the differential equations of motion of the viscoelastic plate with an all-over part-through crack are established and the expression of additional rotation induced by the crack is derived. The complex eigenvalue equations of the viscoelastic plate with crack are derived by the differential quadrature method, and the 8method is used at the crack continuity conditions. Dimensionless complex frequencies of a crack viscoelastic plate with four edges simply supported, two opposite edges simply supported and other two edges clamped are calculated. The effects of the crack parameter, the aspect ratio and dimensionless delay time of the material on the transverse vibration of the viscoelastic plate are analyzed.

Vibration analysis of foam plates based on cell volume distribution

In this paper, vibration analysis of irregular-closed-cell foam plates is per- formed. A cell volume distribution coefficient is introduced to modify the original Gibson- Ashby equations of effective Young＇s modulus of foam materials. A Burr distribution is imported to describe the cell volume distribution situation. Three Burr distribution pa- rameters are obtained and related to the cell volume range and the diversity. Based on the plate theory and the effective modulus theory, the natural frequency of foam plates is calculated with the change of the cell volume distribution parameters. The relationship between the frequencies and the cell volumes are derived. The scale factor of the average cell size is introduced and proved to be an important factor to the performance of the foam plate. The result is shown by the existing theory of size effects. It is determined that the cell volume distribution has an impact on the natural frequency of the plate structure based on the cell volume range, the diversity, and the average size, and the impact can lead to optimization of the synthesis procedure.

Green quasifunction method for vibration of simply-supported thin polygonic plates on Pasternak foundation

A new numerical method-Green quasifunction is proposed. The idea of Green quasifunction method is clarified in detail by considering a vibration problem of simply-supported thin polygonic plates on Pasternak foundation. A Green quasifunction is established by using the fundamental solution and boundary equation of the problem. This function satisfies the homogeneous boundary condition of the problem. The mode shape differential equation of the vibration problem of simply-supported thin plates on Pasternak foundation is reduced to two simultaneous Fredholm integral equations of the second kind by Green formula. There are multiple choices for the normalized boundary equation. Based on a chosen normalized boundary equation, a new normalized boundary equation can be established such that the irregularity of the kernel of integral equations is overcome. Finally, natural frequency is obtained by the condition that there exists a nontrivial solution in the numerically discrete algebraic equations derived from the integral equations. Numerical results show high accuracy of the Green quasifunction method.

The vibrator plate is the link between the vibroseis vehicle and the earth,as well as the core com-ponent of the vibrator vehicle.In this paper,the coupling effect between the vibrator plate and the earth is an-alyzed from two aspects of reaction tooth arrangement and reaction tooth conical angle,and three groups of experimental models are optimized and designed.The model construction and numerical analysis of the shear wave vibroseis vibrator plate are carried out with ANSYS software.The motion law between the vibration plate and the earth at work was studied,the strain energy of the three experimental models in operation,the maximum displacement of particle at the same position and other reference indices were compared and ana-lyzed,with 28 conical reaction teeth were arranged on both sides.The coupling effect between the vibration plate and the earth was best when the tooth angle was 60°.Compared with the toothless vibration plate,the energy efficiency is improved by about 20%,and the coupling effect between the vibrator plate and the earth is effectively enhanced.It is found that the coupling effect is enhanced through increasing the number of reac-tion teeth of the vibration plate by increasing the coupling area between the vibration plate and the earth.

Using Refined Theory to Studied Elastic Wave Scattering and Dynamic Stress Concentrations in Plates with Two Cutouts

In this paper, based on complex variables and conformal mapping methods, using the refined dynamic equation of plates, elastic wave scattering and dynamic stress concentrations in plates with two cutouts were studied. Applying the orthogonal function expansion method, the problem to be solved can be reduced into the solution of a set of infinite algebraic equations. According to free boundary conditions, numerical results of dynamic moment concentration factors in thick plates with two circular cutouts analyze that: there will be more complex interaction changes between two-cutout situation than single cutout situation. In the case of low frequency or high frequency and thin plate, the hole-spacing in the absence of coupling interactions was larger or smaller. The numerical results and method can be used to analyze the dynamics and strength of plate-like structures.
