In this paper, the vibrations of thin plate in modified couple stress thermoelastic medium by using Kirchhoff- Love plate theory has been investigated. The governing equations of motion and heat conduction equation for Lord Shulman (L-S) [1] theory are written with the help of Kirchhoff- Love plate theory. The thermoelastic damping of micro-beam resonators is analyzed by using the normal mode a...

Classical plate buckling theory is obtained systematically as the small-thickness limit of the three-dimensional linear theory of incremental elasticity with null incremental data. Various a priori assumptions associated with classical treatments of plate buckling, including the Kirchhoff–Love hypothesis, are here derived rather than imposed, and the conditions under which they emerge are state...

For a plate subject to stress boundary condition, the deformation determined by the Reissner–Mindlin plate bending model could be bending dominated, transverse shear dominated, or neither (intermediate), depending on the load. We show that the Reissner–Mindlin model has a wider range of applicability than the Kirchhoff–Love model, but it does not always converge to the elasticity theory. In the...

The present investigation deals with study of thermoelastic damping and frequency shift of Kirchhoff plate resonators by using generalized thermoelasticity theory of dual-phase-lag model. The basic equations of motion and heat conduction equation are written with the help of Kirchhoff-Love plate theory and dual phase lag model. The analytical expressions for thermoelastic damping and frequency ...

It is shown that in the Love-Kirchhoff plate theory, an edge wave can travel in a circular thin disk made of an isotropic elastic material. This disk edge wave turns out to be faster than the classic flexural acoustic wave in a straight-edged, semi-infinite, thin plate, a wave which it mimics when the curvature radius becomes very large compared to the wavelength.

We mathematically justify a reduced piezoelectric plate model. This is achieved considering the three-dimensional static equations of piezoelectricity, for a nonhomogeneous anisotropic thin plate, and using the asymptotic analysis to compute the limit of the displacement vector and electric potential, as the thickness of the plate approaches zero. We prove that the three-dimensional displacemen...

this paper presents the bending analysis of annular plates by the indirect trefftz boundary approach. the formulation for thin and thick plates is based on the kirchhoff plate theory and the reissner plate theory. the governing equations are therefore a fourth-order boundary value problem and a sixth-order boundary value problem, respectively. the trefftz method employs the complete set of solu...

The Kirchhoff-Love plate model is a widely used in the analysis of thin elastic plates. It is well known that Kirchhoff-Love solutions can be viewed as certain limits of displacements and stresses for elastic plates where the thickness tends to zero. In this paper, we consider the problem from a different point of view and derive computable upper bounds of the difference between the exact three...
