Abstract

In this paper, authors studied the natural vibration of tapered non homogeneous rectangular plate on clamped edges. For tapering in plate, authors considered circular variation in thickness and for non-homogeneity (in plate’s material) Poisson’s ratio varies exponentially. Bilinear temperature (linear along both the axes) variation on the plate is being viewed. Rayleigh Ritz method is used to solve differential equation of motion. All the results are presented with the help of tables and graphs. A comparison of results is also given to support the present study.

1. Introduction

The non uniform and non homogeneous rectangular plate are used in various engineering structures such as aerospace engineering, marine engineering, ocean engineering, optical instruments and mechanical engineering. Non uniform and non homogeneous plates have greater efficiency when compared to uniform and homogeneous plates because of reduction in weight, high tensile strength, durability, elastic behavior and size. The study of plate vibration without consideration of temperature is nothing because almost all engineering structure worked under great influence of temperature. Thus, to design an accurate structure, determination of natural frequencies and mode shape are essential. A significant work has been provided in these directions.

Timoshenko and Woinowsky-Krieger [1] discussed comprehensive background on plate and shells theory in their book and explained bending (pure and symmetrical) of long, circular, anisotropic and plates having lateral loads, forces in the middle. They also studied rectangular plates (on simply supported and on various edge conditions), plates on elastic foundation and plates of various shapes. Bhat [2] provided natural frequencies of rectangular plates on clamped, simply supported and combination of simply supported and free edges by applying beam characteristic orthogonal polynomials in the Rayleigh Ritz method and showed that when some edges of plate are free, the present method acquires superior result for lower modes. Chakraverty and Petyt [3] discussed transverse vibration of elliptic and circular plates on clamped, simply supported and free boundary using two-dimensional boundary characteristic orthogonal polynomials in Rayleigh Ritz method and evaluated first five natural frequencies for various combinations of non homogeneity and aspect ratios of the ellipse. Li [4] applied Rayleigh Ritz method to analyze the modal characteristics of a rectangular plate with general elastic supports alone its edges and provided numerical examples to demonstrate the accuracy and convergence of the current solution. Ranji and Shahbaztab [5] analyzed free vibration of non homogeneous and orthotropic plate resting on a Pasternak type of elastic foundation by using Rayleigh Ritz method and provided the effect of foundation, density and non homogeneity parameters on natural frequency. Singh and Sexena [6] applied Rayleigh Ritz method to study the transverse vibrations of tapered skew plates with different combinations of boundary conditions and obtained first three modes of frequency and mode shapes. Sharma et al. [7, 8] studied the natural vibration of tapered (exponential and circular variation in thickness) square plate with non homogeneity (variation in density and Poisson’s ratio) under temperature variation (bi linear and bi parabolic). An effect of circular variation in thickness on vibrational frequencies of parallelogram plate has been studied by Sharma [9] and obtained first two modes of vibrations for different combinations of plate parameters on clamped edges. Sharma et al. [10] also studied the vibration of tapered rectangular plate with linear variation in density and evaluated first two modes of vibration on clamped edges. Khanna and Kaur [11, 12] analyzed the free vibration of non uniform (linear and exponential variation in thickness) and non homogeneous (exponential variation in Poisson’s ratio) of rectangular plate with temperature (linear and exponential) variation by using Rayleigh Ritz method on clamped boundary condition. Hwu [13] presented closed-form solution for the free vibration problems, to study the effects of rotary inertia and shear deformation on frequency and provided numerical examples which shows the importance of considering the effects of rotary inertia and shear deformation. Avalos and Laura [14] studied the transverse vibrations of isotropic, orthotropic and anisotropic rectangular plates with two rectangular cutouts on simply supported edge using Classical plate theory. Shufrin and Eisenberger [15] presented a new semi-analytical method for modeling rectangular plates (with one dimensional variable thickness and cutouts) to analyze the free vibration of rectangular plates with various rectangular cutouts and variable thickness. In order to show the accuracy and convergence of the solution, they compared their results with other semi-analytical methods. Sakiyama and Huang [16] presented an approximate method to analyze the free vibration of thin and moderately thick rectangular plates with arbitrary variable thickness using Green function and showed that the numerical solution for the Green function has good convergence and accuracy. Wang and Zu [17] studied the vibrations of functionally graded material (FGM) rectangular plates with porosities and moving in thermal environment by using von Kármán nonlinear plate theory and obtained vibration characteristics such as natural frequency and nonlinear frequency response. Huang et al. [18] developed a discrete method to analyze the free vibration problem of orthotropic rectangular plates with variable thickness using Green function and obtained the effects of the aspect ratios, boundary conditions and the variation of the thickness on the frequencies. Huang et al. [19] proposed new method (FBGM) to analyze the free vibration of cantilever plates with variable thickness and obtained the solution of characteristic equation of free vibration. Taher et al. [20] evaluated first nine frequency parameters of circular and annular plates with variable thickness and combined boundary conditions, for different thickness to radius ratios by using three-dimensional elasticity theory. Zur [21] discussed the free vibration of homogeneous and isotropic annular thin plates with variable distributions of parameters by using Green's function and Neumann series, and obtained numerical solutions of the characteristic equations for constant and hyperbolic varying thickness on different boundary conditions. Zur [22] discussed the free vibration analysis of homogeneous and isotropic circular thin plates with variable distribution of parameters by using Green's functions and evaluated six lower natural dimensionless frequencies of axisymmetric vibration of circular plates of constant and variable thickness.

In this study, authors show the effect of circular variation in thickness on free vibration of non homogeneous rectangular plate with linear (along both the axes) variation in temperature and compute the vibrational frequency modes (first two modes). The results are presented with the help of tables and figures.

2. Differential equation of motion

The differential equation for transverse motion of the plate is:

1
2Mζζ2+22Mζψζψ+2Mψψ2=ρl2ϕt2,

where:

2
Mζ=-D12ϕζ2+ν2ϕψ2, Mψ=-D12ϕψ2+ν2ϕζ2, Mζψ=-D11- ν2ϕζψ.

Using Eq. (2), Eq. (1) becomes:

3
D14ϕζ4+24ϕζ2ψ2+4ϕψ4+2νζ22ϕψ2+2D1ζ3ϕζ3+3ϕζψ2+νζ2ϕψ2
+2D1ψ3ϕψ3+3ϕψζ2-νζ2ϕζψ+2D1ζ22ϕζ2+ν2ϕψ2
+2D1ψ22ϕψ2+ν2ϕζ2+21-ν2D1ζψ2ϕζψ+ρl2ϕt2=0.

For solution of Eq. (3), we can take deflection function as:

4
ϕζ,ψ,t=Φζ,ψTt.

Using Eq. (4) in Eq. (3), we have:

5
TD14Φζ4+24Φζ2ψ2+4Φψ4+2νζ22Φψ2+2D1ζ3Φζ3+3Φζψ2+νζ2Φψ2
+2D1ψ3Φψ3+3Φψζ2-νζ2Φζψ+2D1ζ22Φζ2+ν2Φψ2
+2D1ψ22Φψ2+ν2Φζ2+21-ν2D1ζψ2Φζψ+ρlΦ2Tt2=0.

Now by using variable separable technique Eq. (5) becomes:

6
D14Φζ4+24Φζ2ψ2+4Φψ4+2νζ22Φψ2+2D1ζ3Φζ3+3Φζψ2+νζ2Φψ2+2D1ψ3Φψ3+3Φψζ2-νζ2Φζψ+2D1ζ22Φζ2+ν2Φψ2+2D1ψ22Φψ2+ν2Φζ2+21-ν2D1ζψ2ΦζψρlΦ=-1T2Tt2=ω2.

Taking first and last expression of Eq. (6), we have:

7
D14Φζ4+24Φζ2ψ2+4Φψ4+2νζ22Φψ2+2D1ζ3Φζ3+3Φζψ2+νζ2Φψ2
+2D1ψ3Φψ3+3Φψζ2-νζ2Φζψ+2D1ζ22Φζ2+ν2Φψ2
+2D1ψ22Φψ2+ν2Φζ2+21-ν2D1ζψ2Φζψ-ρlΦω2=0.

Eq. (7) is differential equation for transverse motion of plate with variable D1 and ν i.e., flexural rigidity and Poisson’s ratio. The expression for flexural rigidity is given by D1=El3/121-ν2.

3. Construction of problem

Consider a non homogeneous rectangular plate of length a and breadth b with one dimensional circular variation in thickness l as shown in Fig. 1 as:

8
l=l01+β1-1-ζ2a2,

where β, 0β1 is known as tapering parameter. Thickness of plate become constant at ζ= 0. The plate is subjected to steady two dimensional linear temperature distributions as:

9
τ=τ01-ζa1-ψb,

where τ and τ0 denotes the temperature excess above the reference temperature on the plate at any point and at the origin respectively. The temperature dependence modulus of elasticity for engineering structures is given by:

10
E=E01-γτ,

where E0 is the Young’s modulus at mentioned temperature (i.e., τ= 0) and γ is called slope of variation.

Fig. 1Rectangular plate with one dimensional circular variation

Rectangular plate with one dimensional circular variation

Using Eq. (9), Eq. (10) becomes:

11
E=E01-α1-ζa1-ψb,

where α, (0 ≤ α < 1) is called temperature gradient, which is the product of temperature at origin and slope of variation i.e., α=γτ0. For non homogeneous consideration in plate’s material, Poisson’s ratio of the plate varies exponentially in one direction as:

12
ν=ν0emζa,

where m, (0 ≤ m ≤ 1) are known as non homogeneity constant.

Using Eqs. (8), (11) and (12), flexural rigidity of the plate becomes:

13
D1=E0l031-α1-ζa1-ψb1+β1-1-ζ2a23/121-ν02e2mζa.

4. Solution of the problem

We are using Rayleigh Ritz technique (i.e., maximum strain energy Vs must equal to maximum kinetic energy Ts) in order to obtain frequency equation and frequencies for both modes of vibrations. Therefore, we must have:

14
δVs-Ts=0.

Here the expression for Vs and Ts are given by:

15
Vs=120a 0bD1×2Φζ22+2Φψ22+2ν2Φζ22Φψ2+21-ν2Φζψ2dψdζ,
16
Ts=12ω2ρ0a 0blΦ2dψdζ.

Here, we are computing frequency on C-C-C-C condition (i.e., all the four edges are clamped), therefore the boundary conditions are:

17
Φζ,ψ=Φζ,ψζ=0, ζ=0, a,
Φζ,ψ=Φζ,ψψ=0, ψ=0, b.

Therefore, deflection function (i.e, maximum displacement) which satisfy boundary condition given in Eq. (17) is taken as [11]:

18
Φζ,ψ=ζa2ψb21-ζa21-ψb2Ω1+Ω2ζaψb1-ζa1-ψb,

where Ω1 and Ω2 are arbitrary constants. On substituting Eqs. (8), (12) and (13) in Eqs. (15) and (16) we have:

19
Vs=E0l03240a0b1-α1-ζa1-ψb1+β1-1-ζ2a231-ν02e2mζa2Φζ22+2Φψ22+2ν0emζa2Φζ22Φψ2+21-ν0emζa2Φζψ2dψdζ,
20
Ts=12ω2ρl00a0b1+β1-1-ζ2a2Φ2dψdζ.

Now converting ζ and ψ into non dimensional variable as:

21
ζ1=ζa, ψ1=ψa.

Using Eq. (21), Eqs. (19) and (20) converted into:

22
Vs*=E0l0324a201 0ba1-α1-ζ11-aψ1b1+β1-1-ζ1231-ν02e2m ζ12Φζ122+2Φψ122+2ν0emζ12Φζ122Φψ12+21-ν0emζ12Φζ1ψ12dψ1dζ1,
23
Ts*=12ω2ρa2l001 0ba1+β1-1-ζ12Φ2dψ1dζ1.

Using Eqs. (22) and (23), Eq. (14) becomes:

24
δVs*-λ2Ts*=0,

where λ2=12ρω2a4/E0l02 is known as frequency parameter. Eq. (24) consists of two unknown constants Ω1 and Ω2 (because of substitution of deflection function Φζ,ψ). These two unknowns could be calculated as follows:

25
ΩnVs*-λ2Ts*=0, n=1,2.

After simplifying Eq. (25), we get system of homogeneous equations as:

26
c11Ω1+c12Ω2=0,c21Ω2+c22Ω2=0.

To obtain non zero solution (frequency equation), the determinant of coffiecient matrix (symmetric matrix) of Eq. (26) must zero i.e.:

27
c11c12c21c22=0.

Eq. (27) is quadratic equation from which we get two modes as λ1 (first mode) and λ2 (second mode).

5. Results and discussion

The first two modes of vibrations are calculated and presented tabularly as well as graphically for different values of thermal gradient α, non homogeneity constant m and tapering parameters β. The parameters used in numerical calculation are E0= 7.08×1010 nm-2, ν0= 0.345, l0= 0.01 m, ρ= 2.80×103 kgm-3.

Table 1 provides the natural vibration (first two modes) of plate corresponding to thermal gradientα for three different combination of non homogeneity m and taper constantβ i.e., m=β= 0.2, m=β= 0.4 and m=β= 0.8. From Table 1, we can see that frequency of both modes decreases with the increasing value of thermal gradient α for all the combination of non homogeneity m and taper constant β. While the frequency modes of vibration increases with the increasing value of thermal gradient α when the combined value of non homogeneity m and taper constant β varies from 0.2 to 0.8.

Table 2 shows the frequency modes of vibration corresponding to non homogeneity constant m for the following values of taper constant β and thermal gradient α. α=β= 0.2, α=β= 0.4 and α=β= 0.8.

Table 2 provides the fact that vibrational frequency increases rapidly (not in linear fashion) when non homogeneity m in plate’s material increases 0 to 1 for all the above mentioned values of thermal gradient α and tapering parameter β. The vibrational frequency also increases when the combined value of thermal gradient α and tapering parameter β varies from 0.2 to 0.8 with the increasing value of non homogeneity constant m.

Table 3 gives the frequency modes corresponding to thickness variation (tapering parameter β) in plate for the following values of non homogeneity constant m and thermal gradient α. m=α= 0.2, m=α= 0.4 and m=α= 0.8.

Form Table 3, one can easily concludes that when tapering parameter β increases from 0 to 1, frequency modes increases for all the above mentioned values of non homogeneity m and thermal gradient α. The frequency modes decrease when the combined value of non homogeneity m and thermal gradient α varies from 0.2 to 0.4. But when the combined value of non homogeneity m and thermal gradient α varies from 0.4 to 0.8, the frequency modes again increases.

In order to get good understanding of results and discussion (variation of plate parameter), graphical representation of Tables 1-3 are presented in the form of Figs. 2-4.
