Flexure and vibration of thick beams using trigonometric shear deformation theory
Abstract: A trigonometric shear deformation theory is used for flexural analysis of thick beams, taking into account transverse shear deformation effect. The theory accounts for cosine distribution of transverse shear strain through the thickness of the beam. The governing differential equations and boundary conditions are obtained by using the principle of virtual work. The general solutions for the transverse displacement and rotation are presented for transversely loaded beams. The solutions for …

Vibration of visco-elastic parallelogram plate with linearly thickness variations in both directions
Abstract: An analysis for free transverse vibrations of visco-elastic parallelogram plate whose thickness varies linearly in both directions is presented. Using the separation of variables method and Rayleigh-Ritz technique with a two-term deflection function, the governing differential equation has been solve for vibration of visco-elastic parallelogram plate. For the visco-elastic case, the basic elastic and viscous elements are combined. The Kelvin model for visco-elasticity that is a combination of the elastic …

Thermal Stress Analysis of Cross-ply Laminated Plates using Refined Shear Deformation Theory
Abstract: A refined shear deformation theory is presented for laminated plates under thermal loading. The in-plane displacement field uses sinusoidal function in terms of thickness co-ordinate to include the shear deformation effect. Governing equations and boundary conditions of the theory are obtained using the principle of virtual work. Stresses and deflections of isotropic, orthotropic, symmetric and antisymmetric cross- ply laminated plates subjected to linear thermal loads are obtained. It is to …

Economical Design of Stiffened Plate using FEM
Abstract: This paper presents the economical design of stiffened plate subjected to transverse load. The model of stiffened plate is developed using ANSYS APDL 14.0 for the finite element analysis and design. At first, a convergence study is carried out to arrest the optimum mesh size for discretizing the plate. The maximum deflection of plate with and without stiffeners subjected to point and uniformly distributed load for both fixed and simply …
