Fundamental Frequency of Tapered Plates Using Modi ed Modes
نویسنده
چکیده
The fundamental frequency of a rectangular orthotropic plate having an arbitrary thickness variation is computed by using the method of Modi ed Vibrational Mode (MVM) shapes. The change of thickness within a plate is characterized by introducing a tapering index. It is shown that the vibrational mode shapes of a tapered plate is in fact a linear combination of various mode shapes of intact plates. This phenomenon is used to estimate the vibrational mode shapes of stepped plates. In turn, these mode shapes are incorporated to evaluate their fundamental frequency. Many numerical analyses are carried out to represent the accuracy and robustness of the proposed method by comparing the results to the works presented by other researchers. The major advantage of the present method over the existing ones is its simplicity for handling the problem of force vibration of tapered plates.

In this paper, an exact closed-form solution is presented for free vibration analysis of Euler-Bernoulli conical and tapered beams carrying any desired number of attached masses. The concentrated masses are modeled by Dirac’s delta functions which creates no need for implementation of compatibility conditions.

We report modeling, fabrication, and characterization of tapered waveguides, using periodically segmented annealed proton exchange in LiNbO(3). For a taper transforming the 1/e full width (intensity) mode size from 6.0 microm x 4.4 microm to 2.0 microm x 1.3 microm, 0.4-dB excess loss was observed. The large, slightly elliptical mode can ease coupling to single-mode fibers and circular free-spa...
