Mindlin Plate Theory

This article deals with the small-scale effect on the nonlinear free vibration of orthotropic single-layered graphene sheets using the nonlocal elasticity plate theory. The formulations are based on the Mindlin plate theory, and von Karman-type nonlinearity is considered in strain displacement relations. Virtual work principle is used to derive the nonlinear nonlocal plate equations in which the effects of rotary inertia and transverse shear are included. The differential quadrature method is employed to reduce the governing nonlinear partial differential equations to a system of nonlinear algebraic eigenvalue equations. The efficiency and accuracy of the method are demonstrated by comparing the developed result with those available in literature. The methodology is capable of studying large-amplitude vibration characteristics of nanoplates with different sets of boundary conditions. The effects of various parameters on the nonlinear vibrations of nanoplates are presented.

In this article, the analyses of free vibration of nanoplates, such as single-layered graphene sheets (SLGS), lying on an elastic medium is evaluated and analyzed via a novel refined plate theory mathematical model including small-scale effects. The noteworthy feature of theory is that the displacement field is modelled with only four unknowns, which is even less than the other shear deformation theories. The present one has a new displacement field which introduces undetermined integral variables, the shear stress free condition on the top and bottom surfaces of the plate is respected and consequently, it is unnecessary to use shear correction factors. The theory involves four unknown variables, as against five in case of other higher order theories and first-order shear deformation theory. By using Hamilton’s principle, the nonlocal governing equations are obtained and they are solved via Navier solution method. The influences played by transversal shear deformation, plate aspect ratio, side-to-thickness ratio, nonlocal parameter, and elastic foundation parameters are all examined. From this work, it can be observed that the small-scale effects and elastic foundation parameters are significant for the natural frequency.

AbstractIn this article, surface and nonlocal effects are explored in the analysis of buckling and vibration in rectangular single-layered graphene sheets embedded in elastic media and subjected to coupled in-plane loadings and thermal conditions. The small-scale and surface effects are taken into account using the Eringen's nonlocal elasticity and Gurtin-Murdoch's theory, respectively. Using the principle of virtual work, the governing equations considering small-scale are derived for the nanoplate bulk and surface. The differential quadrature method (DQM) is utilized for the solution of the relevant problems and the results are validated against Navier's solutions. The impacts of the nonlocal parameter, Winkler and shear elastic moduli, temperature rise, boundary conditions, and the in-plane biaxial, uniaxial, and shear loadings on the surface effects of buckling and vibration are investigated. Numerical results show that increasing nonlocal parameter leads to enhanced surface effects on both buckling and vibration. This is in contrast to those reported elsewhere. Moreover, increasing in-plane loads are observed to enhance surface effects on vibration. On the other hand, the nonlocal parameter is observed to have more pronounced effects on shear buckling and vibration of plates subjected to coupled in-plane shear loads than those subjected to biaxial and uniaxial loads. This is while surface effects have greater impacts on biaxial buckling and vibration of nanoplates than on shear buckling and vibration.

Based on two-parameter foundation model and Mindlin plate theory, the FEM equation for free vibration analysis of elastic plates resting on elastic foundation is derived by Hamilton variation principle. The effect of foundation beneath the plate is combined in the stiffness matrix of the plate element, and the effect of the foundation outside the plate domain is taken into account by boundary element method. By coupling FEM and BEM, numerical analyses for the free vibration of foundation plates are carried out. Calculated frequencies are in good agreement with measured results, which proves the accuracy and efficiency of the present approach.

A cell-based smoothed finite element method (CS-FEM) is formulated for nonlinear free vibration analysis of a plate attached to a rigid rotating hub. The first-order shear deformation theory which is known as Mindlin plate theory is used to model the plate. In the process of formulating the system stiffness matrix, the discrete shear gap (DSG) method is used to construct the strains to overcome the shear locking issue. The effectiveness of the CS-FEM is first demonstrated in some static cases and then extended for free vibration analysis of a rotating plate considering the nonlinear effects arising from the coupling of vibration of the flexible structure with the undergoing large rotational motions. The nonlinear coupling dynamic equations of the system are derived via employing Lagrange’s equations of the second kind. The effects of different parameters including thickness ratio, aspect ratio, hub radius ratio and rotation speed on dimensionless natural frequencies are investigated. The dimensionless natural frequencies of CS-FEM are compared with those other existing method including the FEM and the assumed modes method (AMM). It is found that the CS-FEM based on Mindlin plate theory provides more accurate and “softer” solution compared with those of other methods even if using coarse meshes. In addition, the frequency loci veering phenomena associated with the mode shape interaction are examined in detail.

In this paper, a free vibration analysis of moderately thick circular functionally graded (FG) plate integrated with two thin piezoelectric (PZT4) layers is presented based on Mindlin plate theory. The material properties of the FG core plate are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction while the distribution of electric potential field along the thickness of piezoelectric layers is simulated by sinusoidal function. The differential equations of motion are solved analytically for two boundary conditions of the plate: clamped edge and simply supported edge. The analytical solution is validated by comparing the obtained resonant frequencies with those of an isotropic host plate. The emphasis is placed on investigating the effect of varying the gradient index of FG plate on the free vibration characteristics of the structure. Good agreement between the results of this paper and those of the finite element analyses validated the presented approach.

Perfect Interface

The effect of imperfect interface on the coupled extensional and flexural motions in a two-layer elastic plate is investigated from views of theoretical analysis and numerical simulations. A set of full two-dimensional equations is obtained based on Mindlin plate theory and shear-slip model, which concerns the interface elasticity and tangential discontinuous displacements across the bonding imperfect interface. Some numerical examples are processed, including the propagation of straight-crested waves in an unbounded plate, the buckling of a finite plate, as well as the deflection of a finite plate under uniform load. It is revealed that the bending-evanescent wave in the composites with a perfect interface eventually cuts-on to a propagating shear-like wave with cutoff frequency when the two sublayers imperfectly bonded. The similar phenomenon has been verified once again for coupled face-shear and thickness-shear waves. It also has been pointed out that the interfacial parameter has a great influence on the performance of static buckling, in which the outcome can be reduced to classical buckling load of a simply supported plate when the interface is perfect.
