in this paper, a nonlinear free vibration analysis of thin annular functionally graded (fg) plate integrated with two uniformly distributed actuator layers made of piezoelectric (pzt4) material on the top and bottom surfaces of the annular fg plate is presented based on kirchhoff plate theory. the material properties of the fgm core plate are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction acco...

In this article, an exact levy solution is presented for bending analysis of a functionally graded (FG) annular sector plate. The governing equilibrium equations are obtained based on the classical plate theory. Introducing an analytical method for the first time, the three coupled governing equilibrium equations are replaced by an independent equation in term of transverse deflection. This equ...

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...

plates and shells are the significant structural components for many engineering and industrial applications. in this study, free vibration analysis of annular plates is investigated. for this, two different numerical methods such as differential quadrature and discrete singular convolution methods have been performed for numerical simulations. frequency values have been obtained via these two ...

In the present article, buckling analysis of functionally graded annular thin and moderately thick plates under mechanical and thermal loads is investigated. The equilibrium and stability equations of the plate are obtained based on both classical and first order shear deformation plate theories. By using an analytical method, the coupled stability equations are converted to independent equatio...

This paper deals with frequency analysis of annular plates having a small core and guided edges at both inner and outer boundaries. Using classical plate theory the governing differential equation of motion for the annular plate having a small core is derived and solved for the case of plate being guided at inner and outer edge boundaries. The fundamental frequencies for the first six modes of ...

the natural vibrations of clamped annular isotropic sector plates are analyzed using the extended kantorovich method (ekm). a conformal mapping is used to transform a sector with identified geometry to a rectangular plate which the solution is available in literature and solved by dalaei and kerr [1] using ekm. the developed iterative scheme converges very rapidly to the final result. the obtai...

The wrinkling of a thin elastic bi-annular plate with piecewise-constant mechanical properties, subjected to radial stretching, is considered. The critical wrinkling stretching loading and the corresponding wrinkling patterns are extensively investigated, together with the roles played by both the geometrical and mechanical parameters. Keywords—bi-annular plate, wrinkling pattern, critical stre...

Normalized mutual power of radiation, active and reactive, has been analyzed in this paper. The sound source is an annular plate, clamped to a planar, rigid and infinite baffle. The plate’s vibrations are axisymmetric and sinusoidal with respect to time. A Kirchhoff-Love’s model of a perfectly elastic plate has been used. First, the integral formulas for the mutual sound power have been present...
