Abstract

The paper presented here is to study the effect of thermal gradient on vibration of non-homogeneous parallelogram plate of linearly varying thickness in both directions. Thermal induced vibration of non-homogeneous parallelogram plate has been taken as one dimensional temperature distribution in linear from only. For non-homogeneity of the plate material, density is assumed to vary linearly. Using the method of separation of variables; the governing differential equation is solved. An approximate but, quite convenient frequency equation is derived by Rayleigh-Ritz technique with two terms deflection function. The frequencies corresponding to the first two modes of vibration has been computed for a clamped parallelogram plate for different values of non -homogeneity constant, aspect ratio, thermal constant, thickness variation constant and skew angle.

1. Introduction

A mathematical model is presented for the use of engineers, technocrats and research workers in space technology, mechanical sciences etc. which have to operate under elevated temperatures. Parallelogram plats with variable thickness are of great importance in a wide variety of engineering applications i.e. construction of wings, fins of rockets, missiles. As a result, the analysis of plate’s vibrations has attracted many research works, and has been considerably improved to achieve realistic results. As space technology has advanced, the need of the study of vibration of plates of certain aspect ratios with some simple restraints on the boundaries has also increased. The information for the first few modes of vibrations is essential for a constitution engineer before finalizing a design. Rapid strides in air- crafts, rockets and missiles have called for a deep insight in the dynamic response of elastic plates of variable thickness.

Gutierrez and Laura ^[1] have discussed the fundamental frequency of transverse vibration of rectangular, anisotropy plates of discontinuously variable thickness. Hearmen ^[2] solved the problem of the frequency of a flexural vibration of rectangular orthotropic plate with clamped and supported edges. Nair and Durvasula ^[3] studied the vibration of skew plate. Transverse vibration of trapezoidal plates of variable thickness has been discussed by Liew and Lam ^[4]. Thermal effect on vibration of orthotropic rectangular plate with thickness variation is linearly & parabolically in x- and y- directions respectively studied by Gupta and Kumar ^[5]. Kumud and Gupta ^[6] studied the thermal effect on vibration of non-homogeneous parallelogram plate of linearly varying thickness. Gupta and Kumud ^[7] discuss the thermal effect on vibration of non- homogeneous parallelogram plate of parabolically varying thickness. Thermal gradient effect on vibrations of non-homogeneous rectangular plate having continuously parabolically varying thickness in both directions is studied by Gupta et al. ^[8]. Gupta et al. ^[9] studied the thermal effect on vibration of parallelogram plate of bi-directional linearly varying thickness.

In case of variable thickness plates, the governing differential equation of motion is found to have variable coefficient, this fact increase the difficulty to obtain the solution. According to the study of plates thermal field generate non-homogeneity in elastic bodies and the material properties are not constant but vary with the position in random manner. It is well known that in the presence of constant thermal gradient, the elastic coefficient of homogeneous materials become function of the space variable. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to determine the effect of linear thermal constant on free vibration of a clamped non- homogeneous parallelogram plate of linearly varying thickness in both directions. The Rayleigh-Ritz technique has been used to determine the frequency equations of the plate. The frequencies to the first two modes of vibration are obtained for a clamped parallelogram plate for various values non-homogeneity constant (α₁), aspect ratio (a/b), thermal constant (α), taper constants (β₁ & β₂) and skew angle (θ).

2. The Transverse Equation of Motion

The parallelogram plate is assumed to be non-uniform, thin and isotropic. The skew co-ordinate system used, which are related as ^[10]

(1)

The boundaries of the plate in skew co-ordinate are

(2)

For free vibration of the plate, the displacement function is periodic in time so it can expressed as

(3)

where is the maximum displacement at time and is the angular frequency.

The maximum kinetic energy T and the strain energy V in the plate when it is executing transverse vibration mode shape are ^[10]:

(4)

and

(5)

A comma followed by a suffix denotes partial derivative with respect to that variable. Here D the flexural rigidity is given by

(6)

Here is the Poisson Ratio.

3. Mathematical Analysis

Olsson ^[12] assumed that the parallelogram plate is subjected to a study one dimensional temperature distribution along the length, i.e. in ξ - direction.

(7)

Where denotes the temperature excess above the reference temperature at any point at a distance and at .

The temperature dependence of the modulus of elasticity is given by

(8)

where E₀ is the value of Young modulus at .

Using equation (7) in (8), one obtains

(9)

where , a parameter known as thermal constant.

The thickness variation of the plate is assumed to be parabolic in ξ direction only, therefore one has

(10)

where β₁ and β₂ are taper constants & h = h₀ at ξ = 0.

Density of the plate

(11)

is the non-homogeneity constant.

Using the equation (10) and (11) in equation (4) and (5), one gets

(12)

and

(13)

4. Solution and Frequency Equation

Rayleigh-Ritz technique requires that the maximum strain energy must be equal to the maximum kinetic energy .It is therefore, necessary for the problem under consideration that

(14)

for arbitrary variation of W satisfying relevant geometric boundary conditions.

For a parallelogram plate clamped along all four edges the boundary condition are , a and , b and corresponding two term deflection is taken as:

(15)

Now equation (14) becomes after using (12) & (13)

(16)

where

(17)

and

(18)

here

(19)

is a frequency parameter.

Equation (16) involves the unknown A₁ and A₂ arising due to the substitution of W (ξ, η) from equation (15). These unknowns are to be determined from equation (16) for which

(20)

The above equation simplifies to

(21)

For a non-trivial solution the determinant of the coefficients of equation (21) must be zero.

Therefore one gets the frequency equation as

(22)

From frequency equation (22) is quadratic equation in λ² from which two values of λ can be found.

5. Results and Discussion

The frequency equation (22) is quadratic equation in λ² from which two values of λ can be found. The frequency parameter λ corresponding to the first two modes of vibration of a clamped parallelogram plate has been computed for various values of non-homogeneity constant (α₁), aspect ratio (a/b), thermal constant (α), taper constants (β₁& β₂) and skew angle (θ). The Poisson’s ratio (ν) is taken as 0.3. These results are summarized in Table 1 to Table 2.

Table 1 - Table 4 contains the value of frequency parameter of a clamped parallelogram plate for different values of thermal constant (α) for fixed value of aspect ratio (a/b) = 1.0 for the first two modes of vibration for taper constants (β₁ = 0.4 & β₂ = 0.6) and non-homogeneity constant (α₁ = 0.0 & 0.4) and skew angle (θ). It has been seen from the tables that as thermal constant (α) increases, frequency parameter (λ) decrease and the effect of thermal constant on frequency parameter (λ) is more at angle 60° compare to 0°.
