Classical plate buckling theory is obtained systematically as the small-thickness limit of the three-dimensional linear theory of incremental elasticity with null incremental data. Various a priori assumptions associated with classical treatments of plate buckling, including the Kirchhoff–Love hypothesis, are here derived rather than imposed, and the conditions under which they emerge are state...

Elastic plates can be described by a two-dimensional theory, if the characteristic length of the stress state along the plate, l; is much bigger than the plate thickness, h: If all elastic moduli of a laminated plate are of the same order, no matter how many lamina the plate has, then the normal to the mid-surface of the plane remain normal in the course of deformation, and the deformation of t...

In this paper, axisymmetric free vibration analysis of a circular Nano-plate having variable thickness was studied. The variation in thickness of plate was considered as a linearly in radial direction. Nonlocal elasticity theory was utilized to take into account size-dependent effects. Ritz functions was utilized to obtain the frequency equations for simply supported and clamped boundary. To ve...

In this article, using generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) methods, free vibration of a thin annular plate coupled with two open circuit piezoelectric layers, is numerically studied based on the classical plate theory.

this paper presents the bending analysis of annular plates by the indirect trefftz boundary approach. the formulation for thin and thick plates is based on the kirchhoff plate theory and the reissner plate theory. the governing equations are therefore a fourth-order boundary value problem and a sixth-order boundary value problem, respectively. the trefftz method employs the complete set of solu...

in the current study, the effects of interactions of the moving loads and the attached mass-spring-damper systems of the composite plates on the resulting dynamic responses are investigated comprehensively, for the first time, using the classical plate theory. the solution of the coupled governing system of equations is accomplished through tracing the spatial variations using a navier-type sol...

In this paper, a Green’s function is developed for bending analysis of micro plates under an asymmetric load. In order to consider the length scale effect, the modified couple stress theory is used. This theory can accurately predict the behavior of micro structures. A thin micro plate is considered and therefore the classical plate theory is utilized. The size dependent governing equilibrium e...
