Free Vibration of a Generalized Plane Frame

author

Abstract:

This article deals with the free in-plane vibration analysis of a frame with four arbitrary inclined members by differential transform method. Based on four differential equations and sixteen boundary and compatibility conditions, the related structural eigenvalue problem will be analytically formulated. The frequency parameters and mode shapes of the frame will be calculated for various values of the structural properties, such as joint angles, springs' stiffness and flexural rigidity of members. Finally, the obtained solution by the proposed method will be verified by authors' finite element program.

Free in-plane vibration of heterogeneous nanoplates using Ritz method

In this paper, the Ritz method has been employed to analyze the free in-plane vibration of heterogeneous (non-uniform) rectangular nanoplates corresponding to Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity theory. The non-uniformity is taken into account using combinations of linear and quadratic forms in the thickness, material density and Young’s modulus. Two-dimensional boundary characteristic orthogonal pol...

A generalized solution procedure for in-plane free vibration of rectangular plates and annular sectorial plates

A generalized solution procedure is developed for in-plane free vibration of rectangular and annular sectorial plates with general boundary conditions. For the annular sectorial plate, the introduction of a logarithmic radial variable simplifies the basic theory and the expression of the total energy. The coordinates, geometric parameters and potential energy for the two different shapes are or...
