In-Plane Vibration of Plates Under External Disturbances Applied at Singular Points
Bulent A. Ovunc Department of Civil Engineering, University of Southwestern Louisiana, Lafayette, LA, USA
ABSTRACT The external disturbances which initiate vibration in plates are due to a suddenly applied displacement at singular points of the plates, within an infinitesimal time duration. The second- or fourth-order differential equation for the dynamic displacement function are obtained in the real domain. Then they are expressed in the complex domain in terms of a dynamic displacement function. For the vibration of a given plate under a given external disturbance and boundary and initial conditions, the dynamic displacement function can be obtained from the differential equation of motion, provided that for the same plate under the same conditions, the static displacement function is known. The effects of additional masses, vibration in an elastic medium, and elastic supports have also been introduced in the formulation. Moreover, in the limit, when the natural circular frequency tends to zero, the dynamic displacement function tends to the static displacement function. Illustrative examples are provided for practical applications of the dynamic displacement function.

INTRODUCTION Recently, the dynamic analysis of plates subjected to in-plane forces has become an interested field because of the many practical applications in engineering. The vibration of plates under arbitrary in-plane forces has been analyzed by using the perturbation method. ~ The vibration of plates was determined by boundary element methods. 2 A comprehensive review on the application of the boundary element method to the dynamic analysis of plates can be found in a recent publication. 3 A new boundary element approach for the deflection analysis of thin elastic plates on an elastic foundation has been presented with the conventional fundamental solution to the biharmonic differential operators. 4 The free vibration of circular plates subjected to a pair of static concentrated forces acting at opposite ends of a diameter has been obtained by using the Ritz method. 5 The dynamic analysis of thin shallow shells has employed the static fundamental solution of thin elastic flat plates. 6 A boundary element method has been developed for the dynamic analysis of plates subjected to in-plane forces by utilizing the fundamental solution of the static problem of the plate. 7 A new algorithm for free vibration in elastodynamics has been presented and has been implemented numerically to the free vibration of membranes and thin plates. 8 Herein, the components of the displacement along two independent directions are combined into a dynamic displacement function in the complex domain. The stresses and strains are expressed in terms of the dynamic displacement function. The differential equation for the dynamic displacement function is obtained from the differential equations of motion of an infinitesimal element. The effects of the additional masses and the interaction of the elastic medium are introduced in the formulation. For a given plate subjected to a disturbance, the integration of the

differential equation is obtained in series form by considering the static solution of the same plate under the same boundary conditions.
DYNAMIC DISPLACEMENT FUNCTION FOR IN-PLANE VIBRATION In the derivation, it is assumed that the material is homogeneous and isotropic, the displacements and strains are infinitesimal, and stresses are within their proportional limits. The two second-order differential equations of motion have been previously expressed in the real domain in terms of the two components u(x, y), v(x, y) of the displacement function D(x, y),10 02U "k- ~ (1 "02U Ox 2 - VI~y 2 +

DETERMINATION OF THE D Y N A M I C DISPLACEMENT FUNCTION
An approximate approach to obtain the dynamic displacement function is by assuming that the dynamic displacement function can be written in series form. The first term of the series is the static displacement function and O.,.t and ¢.~t being its component, one has,
2 #D (z, 2).~ = Z(o,., (z) - z ~,,.,(z) - ~st(Z)
(18)
and the following terms of the series can be obtained by means of the differential equations (8) and (9). Thus, differential equations (8) and (9) can be written as
o (0v2 ova)
O~" ~-z + Z 02 J = fl 2°D*t 0--2 \ Of-z + Z--~-z J
= fl°Ds'
By integrating the above two equations while eliminating D2, one obtains the second term of the series as

(19)
where ~2 _-/~2° / ( z 2 _ 1) The same procedure is repeated for each successive term of the dynamic displacement function D(z, ~). Thus, one has
D(z, 2) = D,.,(z, 2) + D2 (z, 2) + . . . 4- O/(z, 2) + . . . The dynamic displacement function thus determined is approximate. A n o t h e r approximate approach is obtained by introducing the expression of the s u m m a t i o n of the normal stresses (eqn (11)), into the differential equation (14), yielding 02 1 + v fl:o (~,~ + ~y) = 0 OzO-~z (~x + ~.v) + ~ - .

Again, the solution can be assumed to be in series form, the first term of the series being the static solution, the second term of the series ~b2, can be determined from the following expression,
02 ( , l+v 2 , , OzO2 ~b2(z, 2) + ~b~(z, 5) ) + ~ fl o (th,t (z) + ths, (z)) = 0
(20)
where, ()' represents first derivative of the function (). The successive terms of the series are calculated through the same process. The approximate solutions provide information for the direct solution. Direct determination of the dynamic displacement function is performed by considering the information obtained from the above approximate solution, then by assuming the dynamic displacement function as
D(z, -g) = d O 1 (g, ~) + ~D2 (z, 2) + C~D 3 (2, 2) + ~ D 4 (z, 5)
(21)

Thus there are three types of displacement functions, for f12 > 0, f12 < 0, and/~2 = 0. The third case corresponds to a transition stage. Moreover, this dynamic displacement function obtained from the fourth-order differential eqn 7, also satisfies the second-order differential equations (8) and (9). The constants ~4, ~ , cg and ~ which appear in the displacement function (eqn (21)), are determined from the boundary conditions of the plates. The natural circular frequencies are evaluated from the condition that the magnitude of the concentrated force applied at the disturbance point should be equal to zero.
APPLICATIONS The applications are for half and infinite planes and circular plates. The boundary conditions may be simply or elastically supported, fixed, or free all along the boundary, or an initial disturbance may be applied at a point either on the boundary or within the plate. The plate may be subjected to additional mass and may vibrate within a partly or totally elastic medium. Half plane subjected to a disturbance on its boundary
Let us consider a half plane under a suddenly applied constant displacement Do within an infinitesimal time period. The static displacement function due to an initial displacement applied to point O (see Fig. 1) is given by

The static displacement function being known, the dynamic displacement function, natural circular frequencies, ~, modal shapes, and the forced vibration can be obtained by following the above-described steps.

where a and b show the location of a disturbance point within or along the boundary of the plates. Similar to the Bessel functions, M~ (z, 2-) and P i (z, 2-) are related to their derivatives. 1° The vector of the integration constant { C } , which appears in the dynamic displacement function (eqn (2)), is determined by writing the displacement along the boundary, by solving for {C}, then substituting {C} in the expression for displacement. For the vibration of circular plates without any singularity point within or along the boundary, the shape function in the expression of the displacement can be written from eqn (22) (a = b = 0), as

where, J~ is the Bessel function of order n and ~,i = Rfilni, 7,i = Rfl2,,i. The parameters n and i are related to the nodal diameters and nodal circles, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The differential equation of motion is derived for the in-plane vibrations of plates, in terms of the dynamic displacement function. The differential equations are expressed in the complex domain, so that they can be integrated directly. The dynamic displacement function is determined uniquely, in series form, through the integration of the differential equation of motion, provided that, for a given system, the static displacement function under the same b o u n d a r y conditions is known.
