Vibration Analysis of Trapezoidal Corrugated Plates with Stiffeners and Lumped Masses

Rayleigh-Ritz Method For Free Vibration of Mindlin Trapezoidal Plates

In the present paper, the free vibration of moderately thick trapezoidal plates has been studied. The analysis is based on the Mindlin shear deformation theory. The solutions are determined using the pb-2 Rayleigh-Ritz method. The transverse displacement and the rotations of the plate are approximated by Ritz functions defined as two dimensional polynomials of the trapezoidal domain variables a...

Vibration and Static Analysis of Functionally Graded Porous Plates

This research deals with free vibration and static bending of a simply supported functionally graded (FG) plate with the porosity effect. Material properties of the plate which are related to its change are position-dependent. Governing equations of the FG plate are obtained by using the Hamilton’s principle within first-order shear deformation plate theory. In solving the problem, the Navier s...

Buckling and vibration analysis of angle -ply symmetric laminated composite plates with fully elastic boundaries

The main focus of this paper is on efficiency analysis of two kinds of approximating functions (characteristic orthogonal polynomials and characteristic beam functions) that have been applied in the Rayleigh-Ritz method to determine the non-dimensional buckling and frequency parameters of an angle ply symmetric laminated composite plate with fully elastic boundaries. It has been observed that o...
