Finite Plate with Circular and Square Hole under Partial Loading

In this paper a general analytical solution is obtained to find stress distribution in a finite elastic plate with a circular or square hole subjected to arbitrary biaxial partial loading using modified boundary condition by assuming plane stress conditions. The method employed is based on solution of circular hole in finite rectangular plate. This plate is mapped to circular ones and the parti...

Generalized Thermoelastic Problem of a Thick Circular Plate Subjected to Axisymmetric Heat Supply

The present work is aimed at analyzing the thermoelastic disturbances in a circular plate of finite thickness and infinite extent subjected to constant initial temperature and axisymmetric heat supply. Integral transform technique is used. Analytic solutions for temperature, displacement and stresses are derived within the context of unified system of equations in generalized thermoelasticity i...

A New Approach to the Study of Transverse Vibrations of a Rectangular Plate Having a Circular Central Hole

In this study, the analysis of transverse vibrations of rectangular plate with circular central hole with different boundary conditions is studied and the natural frequencies and natural modes of a rectangular plate with circular hole have been obtained. To solve the problem, it is necessary to use both Cartesian and polar coordinate system. The complexity of the method is to apply an appropria...

Chaotic motion of a bimetallic circular plate

Considering the effect of geometric nonlinearity and uniformly distributed time-varying temperature, the bifurcation behaviors and chaotic phenomena of a bimetallic thin circular plate are investigated. First of all, the nonlinear dynamic equation for bimetallic plate is established and further reduced to Duffing equation of harmonic parametric excitation, from which the pitchfork bifurcation p...
