Non-linear vibrations of plates under thermal and mechanical loads

The geometrically non-linear vibrations of plates under the combined effect of thermal fields and mechanical excitations are analyzed. With this purpose, an accurate model based on a p-version, hierarchical, first-order shear deformation finite element is employed. The constitutive material of the p...

Descrição
Resumo:The geometrically non-linear vibrations of plates under the combined effect of thermal fields and mechanical excitations are analyzed. With this purpose, an accurate model based on a p-version, hierarchical, first-order shear deformation finite element is employed. The constitutive material of the plates is linear elastic and isotropic. The equations of motion are solved in the time domain by an implicit time integration method. The temperature and the amplitude of the mechanical excitation are varied, and transitions from periodic to non-periodic motions are found. Copyright (c) 2005 by ASME.
