in this paper, the propagation of the waves in the laminated composite plates which is subjected to low velocity impact is investigated using the finite element method. a rigid metallic projectile with spherical nose is considered and the impact of this projectile with laminated composite is studied in this study. considering a finite element model the governing equations of the problem is disc...

In this paper the recently developed semi-analytic method to solve the free-surface wave interaction with a thin elastic plate is extended to the case of a plate of finite thickness. The method used is based on the reformulation of the differential-integral equation for this problem. The thickness of the plate is chosen such that the elastic behavior of the plate can be described by means of th...

geometrically nonlinear governing equations for a plate with linear viscoelastic material are derived. the material model is of boltzmann superposi¬tion principle type. a third-order displacement field is used to model the shear deformation effects. for the solution of the nonlinear governing equations the dynamic relaxation (dr) iterative method together with the finite difference discretizati...

In this paper, transverse and longitudinal vibration of nonlinear plate under exciting of orbiting mass is considered based on first-order shear deformation theory. The nonlinear governing equation of motion are discretized by the finite element method in combination with Newmark’s time integration scheme under von Karman strain-displacement assumptions. For validation of method and formulation...

The purpose of this work is to control the vibration of the plate with the help of finite element method. Using augmented equations, a finite element model of a two-dimensional cantilever plate instrumented with a piezoelectric patches sensor-actuator pair is derived. The contribution of piezoelectric sensor and actuator layers on the mass and stiffness of the plate is considered. As mesh size ...

In typical Lamb wave simulation practices, effects of plate edge reflections are often not considered in order to simplify the wave signal interpretations. Methods that are based on infinite plates such as the semi-analytical finite element method is effective in simulating Lamb waves as it excludes the effect of plate edges. However, the inclusion of plate edges in a finite plate could render ...

In this short paper, a simple flexible difference scheme for the simulation of rectangular plate vibration is presented, along with various implementation details (scheme coefficients, a discussion of boundary condition implementation, explicit stability bounds, and memory and computational requirements), and a discussion of features such as moving excitation and readout locations. Sound exampl...

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 ...
