Abstract:

In this paper, the effect of different boundary conditions on the free vibration analysis response of a sandwich plate is presented using the higher order shear deformation theory. The face sheets are orthotropic laminated composites that follow the first order shear deformation theory (FSDT) based on the Rissners-Mindlin (RM) kinematics field. The motion equations are derived considering the continuity boundary conditions between the layers based on the energy method and Hamilton's principle. The frequency and mode shapes of the structure are obtained using the differential quadrature method (DQM). The effects of different parameters such as the face sheet-to-core stiffness ratio, the boundary conditions, and the core-to-face sheet thickness ratio on the frequency of the sandwich plate are shown. Moreover, the numerical results indicate that the frequency of the CCCC and CFFF sandwich plates predict the higher and lower frequency, respectively.

Applications of higher order shear deformation theories on stress distribution in a five layer sandwich plate

In this paper, layerwise theory (LT) along with the first, second and third-order shear deformation theories (FSDT, SSDT and TSDT) are used to determine the stress distribution in a simply supported square sandwich plate subjected to a uniformly distributed load. Two functionally graded (FG) face sheets encapsulate an elastomeric core while two epoxy adhesive layers adhere the core to the face ...

In this paper, wave propagation approach is used to analysis the free vibration and buckling analysis of the thick rectangular plates based on higher order shear deformation plate theory. From wave viewpoint, vibrations can be considered as traveling waves along structures. Waves propagate in a waveguide and reflect at the boundaries. It is assumed that the plate has two opposite edge simply su...
