In this paper, a size-dependent first-order shear deformation plate model is formulated in the framework of the higher-order generalized nonlocal strain-gradient (GNSG) theory. This modelemploys ...

in the present study, a spectral finite element method is developed for free and forced transverse vibration of levy-type moderately thick rectangular orthotropic plates based on first-order shear deformation theory. levy solution assumption was used to convert the two-dimensional problem into a one-dimensional problem. in the first step, the governing out-of-plane differential equations are tr...

the effect of a distributed patch mass on the natural frequency of vibration of a laminated rectangular plate with simply supported boundaries is investigated. the third order displacement field of a composite laminated rectangular plate is defined using the two variable refined plate theory. equations of motion of the plate are obtained with the help of calculus of variation. parametric study ...

In this paper a variationally consistent trigonometric shear deformation theory is presented for the free vibration of thick isotropic square and rectangular plate. In this displacement based theory, the in-plane displacement field uses sinusoidal function in terms of thickness coordinate to include the shear deformation effect. The cosine function in terms of thickness coordinate is used in tr...

in the present work, study of the vibration of a functionally graded (fg) cylindrical shell made up of stainless steel, zirconia, and nickel is presented. free vibration analysis is presented for fg cylindrical shells with simply supported-simply supported and clamped–clamped boundary condition based on temperature independent material properties. the equations of motion are derived by hamilton...

In this study, based on nonlocal differential constitutive relations of Eringen, the first order shear deformation theory of plates (FSDT) is reformulated for vibration of nano-plates considering the initial geometric imperfection. The dynamic analog of the von Kármán nonlinear strain-displacement relations is used to derive equations of motion for the nano-plate. When dealing with nonlineariti...

This paper proposes the refined first order shear deformation theory to investigate the free vibration behavior of bidirectional functionally graded porous plates. This theory satisfies the transverse shear stress free conditions at the top and bottom of the plate, thus avoids the need of a shear correction factor. The rule of mixtures is employed to compute the effective material properties an...

In this paper, the transient response of a viscoelastic annular plate which has time-dependent properties is determined mathematically under dynamic transverse load. The axisymmetric conditions are considered in the problem. The viscoelastic properties obey the standard linear solid model in shear and the bulk behavior in elastic. The equations of motion are extracted using Hamilton’s principle...

An analytical and numerical solution for the free vibration of laminated polymeric composite plates with different layups is studied in this paper. The governing equations of the laminated composite plates are derived from the classical laminated plate theory (CLPT) and the first-order shear deformation plate theory (FSDT). General layups are evaluated by the assumption of cross-ply and angle-p...
