TL;DR: In this paper, the analysis of vibration of angle-ply plates using spline method for higher order shear theory is addressed to show the capability of the present method in the vicinity of higher-order shear deformation theory and simply supported edges of plates.
Abstract: This paper deals with the analysis of vibration of antisymmetric angle-ply plates using spline method for higher order shear theory. Free vibration of laminated plates is addressed to show the capability of the present method in the vicinity of higher order shear deformation theory and simply supported edges of plates. The coupled differential equations are obtained in terms displacement and rotational functions. These displacement and rotational functions are approximated using cubic and quantic spline. A generalized eigenvalue problem is obtained and solved numerically for an eigenfrequency parameter and an associated eigenvector of spline coefficients. The antisymmetric angle-ply fiber orientation are taken as design variables. Numerical results enable us to examine the frequencies for various geometric and material parameters and accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed method is also verified by comparative study.

TL;DR: In this paper, the free vibration of angle-ply laminated plates under clamped boundary conditions was analyzed using radial basis functions and Spline functions, and parametric studies were made to investigate the effect of aspect ratio, length-to-thickness ratio, number of layers, fiber orientation and material properties with respect to the frequency parameter.
Abstract: Abstract Two type of numerical approach namely, Radial Basis Function and Spline approximation, used to analyse the free vibration of anti-symmetric angle-ply laminated plates under clamped boundary conditions. The equations of motion are derived using YNS theory under first order shear deformation. By assuming the solution in separable form, coupled differential equations obtained in term of mid-plane displacement and rotational functions. The coupled differential is then approximated using Spline function and radial basis function to obtain the generalize eigenvalue problem and parametric studies are made to investigate the effect of aspect ratio, length-to-thickness ratio, number of layers, fibre orientation and material properties with respect to the frequency parameter. Some results are compared with the existing literature and other new results are given in tables and graphs.

TL;DR: In this paper, the spline and radial basis functions of base mesh free scheme are applied simultaneously to approximate the displacement and rotational functions of angle-ply composite plates, including shear deformation under clamped-clamped boundary conditions.
Abstract: In this study free vibrations of anti-symmetric angle-ply composite plates including shear deformation under clamped-clamped boundary conditions are presented. Two types of numerical methods are adopted to analyze the problem. The spline and radial basis functions base mesh free scheme are applied simultaneously to approximate the displacement and rotational functions. Comparative studies have been made for analyzing the frequency parameters with respect to the material properties, number of layers, fiber orientations, side-to-thickness ratio and aspect ratio. The results are depicted in terms of tables and graphs.

TL;DR: In this article, the free vibration of angle-ply laminated plates with variable thickness is studied and a generalized eigenvalue problem is obtained and solved numerically by employing the eigensolution techniques with eigenvectors as spline coefficients to obtain the required frequencies.
Abstract: Free vibration of antisymmetric angle-ply laminated plates with variable thickness is studied. Higher-order shear deformation plate theory (HSDT) is introduced in the present method to remove the shear correction factors and improve the accuracy of transverse shear stresses. The thickness variations are assumed to be linear, exponential, and sinusoidal. The coupled differential equations are obtained in terms of displacement and rotational functions and approximated using cubic and quantic spline. A generalized eigenvalue problem is obtained and solved numerically by employing the eigensolution techniques with eigenvectors as spline coefficients to obtain the required frequencies. The results of numerical calculations are presented for laminated plates with simply supported boundary conditions. Comparisons of the current solutions and those reported in literature are provided to verify the accuracy of the proposed method. The effects of aspect ratio, number of layers, ply-angles, side-to-thickness ratio, and materials on the free vibration of cylindrical plates are discussed in detail.
