Bidirectional Bending of Laminated Plates Using Trigonometric Shear Deformation Theory
Abstract: Bidirectional bending analysis of symmetric cross-ply laminated plates using trigonometric shear deformation theory is presented. Theory takes into account of transverse shear deformation effect without transverse strain effect. Theory uses sinusoidal function in the displacement field in terms of thickness coordinate to include shear deformation effects. It has only three variables. It is to be noted that the present theory satisfies the constitutive relations in respect of transverse shear strain …

Thermal Gradient Effect on Frequencies of a Rectangular Plate of Varying Thickness in Both Directions
Abstract: An analysis and numerical results are presented for frequencies of rectangular plates of non-linear thickness variation in x-direction and linearly in y-direction with linearly temperature distribution on the basis of classical plate theory. An approximate but quiet convenient frequency equation is derived by using Rayleigh-Ritz technique with a two term deflection function. Effect of the thermal gradient together with taper constants on the natural frequencies of vibration a clamped rectangular …

Thermal Effect on Vibration of Non-homogeneous Parallelogram Plate of Linearly Varying Thickness
Abstract: In this paper, free vibration of non-homogeneous parallelogram plate of linearly varying thickness subjected to a linear temperature distribution along the length of the plate has been studied. Thermal Induced vibration of such plates has been taken as one dimensional temperature distribution in linear from only. The Rayleigh–Ritz technique has been used to determine the frequencies equation of the plate. The frequencies corresponding to the first two modes of vibration …
