Abstract: This paper presents numerical simulation studies on the vibration and acoustic response characteristics of an isotropic rectangular plate in a thermal environment using commercial finite element softwares ANSYS and SYSNOISE. First the critical buckling temperature is obtained, followed by modal and harmonic analyses considering prestress due to the thermal field in the plate, with the critical buckling temperature as a parameter. The vibration response predicted is then used to compute the sound radiation. It is found that the displacement response of the structure increases with an increase in temperature for all boundary conditions. The overall sound radiation of the plate marginally increases with an increase in temperature for all boundary conditions when the temperature approaches the critical buckling temperature although there is a sharp increase in sound power levels.

Abstract: An analytical model is presented for vibration of a thin orthotropic plate containing two perpendicular continuous line surface cracks located at the centre of the plate in the presence of thermal environment. Also new configuration of two perpendicular cracks as internal cracks, located along the thickness of the plate is studied by considering appropriate crack compliance coefficients based on line-spring model. Equilibrium principle based on Classical Plate Theory is used to derive the equations of motion for cracked plate, wherein the crack terms are formulated using the line spring model. The moments due to thermal environment are neglected in the results and only uniform heating of the cracked plate is considered. The solution for natural frequencies of cracked plate is obtained by Galerkin’s method. A relation for thermal buckling phenomenon for the cracked plate is also formulated. The influence of the lengths of the two cracks and their location along the thickness of the plate on critical buckling temperature and first mode natural frequency is demonstrated. The geometrically linear frequency response relation for cracked plate is formulated using the method of multiple scales. It is thus concluded that the presence of the two cracks affect the critical buckling temperature and natural frequencies.

Abstract: A general high precision triangular plate bending finite element has been extended to the buckling analysis of laminated skew plates. This procedure involves development of the transformation matrix between global and local degrees of freedom for nodes lying on the skew edges and suitable transformation of the element matrices. The accuracy of the present formulation has been verified against literature values. New results are obtained for antisymmetric angle-ply and cross-ply laminated skew plates. In this analysis, the critical buckling loads for different skew angles with various lamination parameters, such as number of layers, fibre orientation angle, different boundary (simply supported, clamped) and loading (uniaxial, biaxial) conditions, have been presented.
