TL;DR: In this paper, the bending problem of rectangular thin plates with free edges laid on tensionless Winkler foundation has been solved by employing Fourier series with supplementary terms, assuming proper form of series for deflection, the basic differential equation with given boundary conditions can be transformed into a set of infinite algebraic equations.
Abstract: In this paper, the bending problem of rectangular thin plates with free edges laid on tensionless Winkler foundation has been solved by employing Fourier series with supplementary terms. By assuming proper form of series for deflection, the basic differential equation with given boundary conditions can be transformed into a set of infinite algebraic equations. Because the boundary of contact region cannot be determined in advance, these equations are weak nonlinear ones. They can be solved by using iterative procedures.

When we study the anisotropic damage of anisotropic materials either from a macroscopic continuum mechanics model or from a microdefect model, there exists a limit to the order of a damage tensor, and the condition under which the damage variable may be described by a tensor lower than those of the highest order is found.

TL;DR: In this article, the objective stress rate in co-moving coordinate is derived by applying nonlinear geometric field theory of deformation, which is a rather important problem in mechanics of finite deformation.
Abstract: The objective stress rate is a rather important problem in mechanics of finite deformation. In this paper, the objective stress rate in co-moving coordinate is derived by applying nonlinear geometric field theory of deformation. Problems, such as large extension coupled with rotation, and large shear deformation, are exemplified by using the new formula. Comparing with Jaumann's stress rate and other formulae presented in current literature, the new result appears to be the reasonable one in co-moving coordinate system.

Finally, some conclusions having important significance for practice engineering are given.

TL;DR: In this article, the shape functions of the finite annular plate element were used as shape functions and some integration difficulties related to the Bessel's functions were solved in the context of structural characteristic analysis and dynamic response computation.
Abstract: The dynamic deformation of harmonic vibration is used as the shape functions of the finite annular plate element, and some integration difficulties related to the Bessel's functions are solved in this paper. Then the dynamic stiffness matrix of the finite annular plate element is established in closed form and checked by the direct stiffness method. The paper has given wide converage for decomposing the dynamic matrix into the power series of frequency square. By utilizing the axial symmetry of annular elements, the modes with different numbers of nodal diameters are separately treated. Thus some terse and complete results are obtained as the foundation of structural characteristic analysis and dynamic response computation.

TL;DR: In this article, the reaction forces of elastical supports at points are regarded as unknown external forces acting on the membranes, and the exact solution of the equation of motion is given which includes terms representing the unknown reaction forces.
Abstract: This paper presents a new method for solving the vibration of arbitrarily shaped membranes with elastical supports at points. The reaction forces of elastical supports at points are regarded as unknown external forces acting on the membranes. The exact solution of the equation of motion is given which includes terms representing the unknown reaction forces. The frequency equation is derived by the use of the linear relationship of the displacements with the reaction forces of elastical supports at points. Finally the calculating formulae of the frequency equation of circular membranes are analytically performed as examples and the inherent frequencies of circular membranes with symmetric elastical supports at two points are numerically calculated.
