Abstract:

This paper presents the application of the method of generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) for the analysis of hydrodynamic thrust bearings. GDQ is a simple, efficient, high-order numerical technique and it uses the information on all grid points to approach the derivatives of the unknown function. The effectiveness of the solution technique is verified by comparing the GDQ computed results with the results of analytical solutions, FEM and FDM results from the published literature. It's seen from the results that GDQ method can easily compete with the existing methods of solution of lubrication problems in respect to its analytical simplicity, smaller computer storage requirements and capability of producing accurate results with very high computational efficiency.

Generalized Differential Quadrature Method for Vibration Analysis of Cantilever Trapezoidal FG Thick Plate

This paper presents a numerical solution for vibration analysis of a cantilever trapezoidal thick plate. The material of the plate is considered to be graded through the thickness from a metal surface to a ceramic one according to a power law function. Kinetic and strain energies are derived based on the Reissner-Mindlin theory for thick plates and using Hamilton's principle, the governing equa...

Vibration of cracked plate using differential quadrature method and experimental modal analysis

In this study, the vibration of cracked plates is investigated using the differential quadrature method and experimental modal analysis. The crack, which is assumed to be open, is modeled by the extended rotational spring. With its finite length, the crack divides the plate into six segments. Then, the differential quadrature is applied to the governing differential equations of motion and the ...
