Vibration Analysis of Annular Sector Plates under Different Boundary Conditions

الملخص EN

An analytical framework is developed for the vibration analysis of annular sector plates with general elastic restraints along each edge of plates.

Regardless of boundary conditions, the displacement solution is invariably expressed as a new form of trigonometric expansion with accelerated convergence.

The expansion coefficients are treated as the generalized coordinates and determined using the Rayleigh-Ritz technique.

This work allows a capability of modeling annular sector plates under a variety of boundary conditions and changing the boundary conditions as easily as modifying the material properties or dimensions of the plates.

Of equal importance, the proposed approach is universally applicable to annular sector plates of any inclusion angles up to 2π.

The reliability and accuracy of the current method are adequately validated through numerical examples.
