A novel approach for Mindlin plate theory and application to exact solution of free vibration of moderately thick rectangular plates with two opposite guided sides
This study has two aims. One is to provide a novel approach for deriving the governing equation of the Reissner–Mindlin plate theory or Mindlin plate theory (MPT) and the other is to obtain exact solutions for the free vibration of thickness-torsion-locking (TTL) moderately thick rectangular plates with two opposite guided sides. First, the paper introduces a simplified analytical method to deduce the governing equations that retain the essential features of shear deformation and rotary inertia of the section. By introducing two unknown functions, one satisfies a fourth-order partial differential equation (PDE) which dominates the flexure of plates and the other meets a second-order PDE which dominates the torsion along the thickness direction. For TTL plates, only a single function is required to satisfy a fourth-order PDE and effective shear force is introduced to include the role of the twisting moment. For plates with two opposite sides guided, the free vibration of TTL plates is exactly solved by a Lévy-type solution. The exact characteristic equations are determined for ten combination cases of the other sides, including clamped, hinged, guided, and free edges. Accurate natural frequency parameters and the corresponding mode shapes are given. The effects of aspect ratio, thickness-to-side-length ratio, and boundary conditions on the vibration characteristics of plates are discussed in detail. The exact closed-form characteristic equations and their associated characteristic functions for thin plates with opposite guided supports can be reduced only if the shear stiffness is sufficiently large.
期刊介绍:
Thin-walled structures comprises an important and growing proportion of engineering construction with areas of application becoming increasingly diverse, ranging from aircraft, bridges, ships and oil rigs to storage vessels, industrial buildings and warehouses.
Many factors, including cost and weight economy, new materials and processes and the growth of powerful methods of analysis have contributed to this growth, and led to the need for a journal which concentrates specifically on structures in which problems arise due to the thinness of the walls. This field includes cold– formed sections, plate and shell structures, reinforced plastics structures and aluminium structures, and is of importance in many branches of engineering.
The primary criterion for consideration of papers in Thin–Walled Structures is that they must be concerned with thin–walled structures or the basic problems inherent in thin–walled structures. Provided this criterion is satisfied no restriction is placed on the type of construction, material or field of application. Papers on theory, experiment, design, etc., are published and it is expected that many papers will contain aspects of all three.
