Effect of Hydrostatic Pressure on Nonlinear Vibrating of Annular Circular Plate Coupled with Bounded Fluid

Abstract

The present study aims to evaluate the nonlinear vibration of an annular circular plate in contact with the fluid. Analysis of plate is based on first-order Shear Deformation Theory (FSDT) by considering of rotational inertial effects and transverse shear stresses. The governing equation of the oscillatory behavior of the fluid is determined by solving the Laplace equation and satisfying its boundary conditions. The nonlinear differential equations are solved based on the differential quadrature method and obtaining nonlinear natural frequency. In addition, the numerical results are presented for a sample plate, and the effect of some parameters such as aspect ratio, boundary conditions, fluid density, and fluid height are investigated. Finally, the results are compared with those of similar studies in the literature.
