Free Vibration Analysis of Rectangular Plate with Cutouts under Elastic Boundary Conditions in Independent Coordinate Coupling Method

Based on Kirchhoff plate theory and the Rayleigh-Ritz method,the model for free vibration of rectangular plate with rectangular cutouts under arbitrary elastic boundary conditions is established by using the improved Fourier series in combination with the independent coordinate coupling method(ICCM).The effect of the cutout is taken into account by subtracting the energies of the cutouts from the total energies of the whole plate.The vibration displacement function of the hole domain is based on the coordinate system of the hole domain in this method.From the continuity condition of the vibration displacement function at the cutout,the transition matrix between the two coordinate systems is constructed,and the mass and stiffness matrices are completely obtained.As a result,the calculation is simplified and the computational efficiency of the solution is improved.In this paper,numerical examples and modal experiments are presented to validate the effectiveness of the modeling methods,and parameters related to influencing factors of the rectangular plate are analyzed to study the vibration characteristics.

A solution method for free vibration analysis of coupled laminated composite elliptical-cylindrical-elliptical shell with elastic boundary conditions

In this paper,an efficient,convenient and explicit method based on the Haar wavelet discretization ap-proach for analyzing the free vibration of the coupled laminated composite elliptical-cylindrical-elliptical shells(ECESs)with elastic boundary conditions is presented.Two elliptical double curved shells are cou-pled on both end of cylindrical shell.Based on the first-order shear deformation theory the equations of motion for ECES are derived by means of Hamilton’s principle.The separation of variables is first per-formed;i.e.displacement components and rotations of any point of the ECES are expanded to the Haar wavelet series in the meridian direction and Fourier series in circumferential direction.The constants appearing from the integrating process are determined by boundary conditions,and thus the partial dif-ferential equations are transformed into algebraic equations.By solving the characteristic equation,the natural frequencies and mode shapes of coupled laminated composite ECES are obtained.The present re-sults have been compared with those of the published literature.The comparison results show that this method has high accuracy,high reliability and also a higher convergence rate in attaining the frequencies of the coupled laminated composite ECESs.Then,the effects of the main parameters such as material properties,geometrical parameters,and various boundary conditions,on the vibrational behavior of the coupled ECESs,are investigated.Finally,new free vibration analysis results of the coupled laminated com-posited ECES,which can be used as benchmark data for researchers in this field,are reported through the parameter study.

Haar wavelet discretization method for free vibration study of laminated composite beam under generalized boundary conditions

Investigation on vibration of laminated composite beam(LCB)is an important issue owing to its wide use as fundamental component.In the present work,we study the free vibration of arbitrarily LCB with generalized elastic boundary condition(BC)by using Haar wavelet discretization method(HWDM).Timoshenko beam theory is utilized to model the free vibration of LCB.The LCB is first split into several segments,and then the displacement for each segment is obtained from the Haar wavelet series and their integral.Hamilton’s principle is applied to construct governing equations and the artificial spring boundary technique is adopted to obtain the general elastic boundary and continuity conditions at two ends of LCB.The vibration characteristics of beam with different fiber orientations and lamina numbers is investigated and its displacements are compared with those in previous works.Numerical results are shown graphically and demonstrate the validation of our method.

Free Vibration of Elastically Constrained Single-Layered MoS_(2)

Free vibration of elastically constrained rectangular single-layered M0S_(2)is investigated by using a nonlocal Kirchhoff plate model with an initial stress.The variationally consistent elastically constrained boundary conditions are obtained by using the weighted residual method,while the governing equations of the nonlocal Kirchhoff plate model are known.A modified Fourier series method is applied to study the vibrational behaviors of elastically constrained nonlocal Kirchhoff plate models.The convergence and reliability of the modified Fourier series method is verified via comparison with the finite element method.A comprehensive parametric study is performed to show the influences of the boundary elastic constant,nonlocal parameter and initial stress on the vibrational behaviors of single-layered M0S2.The results should be good for the design of nanoresonators.
