This paper presents investigations of free vibration of anisotropic plates of different geometrical shapes and generally restrained boundaries. The existence and uniqueness of weak solutions of boundary value problems and ...

In this paper, an exact series solution for the vibration analysis of circular cylindrical shells with arbitrary boundary conditions is obtained, using the elastic equations based on Flügge's theory. Each of the three ...

A general variational formulation for the determination of natural frequencies and mode shapes of free vibration of laminated trapezoidal and triangular plates is presented in this work. The kinematics corresponding to the ...

The present note deals with a methodology for development of compact analytical schemes, for the derivation of boundary value problems, which describe the statical and dynamical behaviours of plates with complicating ...

Elliptical and circular fibre reinforced composite plates are important structural elements in modern engineering structures. Vibration analysis of these elements are of interest to structural designers. The present paper ...

Simply supported or clamped boundary conditions are rather ideal situations difficult to satisfy from a physical viewpoint. This paper considers a more "moderate" restriction: the case of edges elastically restrained against ...

This paper deals with the study of free transverse vibrations of rectangular plates with an internal line hinge and elastically restrained boundaries. The equations of motion and its associated boundary and transition ...

This paper presents a simple and general variational approach for the study of the free vibration behaviour of polygonal isotropic plates with variable thickness. The Reissner-Mindlin plate theory is used to take into ...
