Rectangular plate is one typical structure with wild application in engineering, and the force vibration basis for analysis of sound radiation plate. In this work, numerical simulation conducted rectangular plate, influence external load also studied. Numerical results show that, will resonate under at certain driven frequency, it’s strictly related to structural modal frequencies. Structural r...

In this paper, a rectangular sandwich plate with a constrained layer and an electrorheological (ER) fluid core is investigated. The rectangular plate is covered an ER fluid core and a constraining layer to improve the stability of the system. The two outer layers of the sandwich structure are elastic. The viscoelastic materials express the middle layer behavior under electric field and small st...

In this paper the effects of circular and elliptical cutout on the buckling behavior of a sixteen ply quasi-isotropic graphite/epoxy symmetrically laminated rectangular composite plate [0°/+45°/45°/90°]2s, subjected to various linearly varying in-plane compressive loads, numerically. Further, this paper addresses the effects of size of elliptical cutout, orientation of elliptical cutout, plate ...

The vibratory characteristics of rectangular plates attached with continuously and uniformly distributed spring-mass in a rectangular region are studied which may represent free vibration of a human–structure system. Firstly, the governing differential equations of a plate with uniformly distributed spring-mass are developed. When the spring-mass fully occupies the plate, the natural frequencie...

The bending of a rectangular elastic plate under uniform distributed load and simply supported at the corners by equal-leg angles is studied analytically. The width of the supporting legs can be varied symmetrically about the plate axes giving mixed boundary conditions with supported and free edges. The solution is set up by using the Le'vy-Na'dai approach and the mixed boundary equation at the...

Spring constant calibration of the atomic force microscope (AFM) cantilever is of fundamental importance for quantifying the force between the AFM cantilever tip and the sample. The calibration within the framework of thin plate theory undoubtedly has a higher accuracy and broader scope than that within the well-established beam theory. However, thin plate theory-based accurate analytic determi...

A simple model presented here is to study the thermal effect on vibration of non-homogeneous orthotropic visco-elastic rectangular plate of parabolically varying thickness having clamped boundary conditions on all the four edges. For non-homogeneity of the plate material, density is assumed to vary linearly in one direction. Using the separation of variables method, the governing differential e...
