Non-linear Vibration and Postbuckling of Orthotropic Thin Circular Plates on Elastic Foundations P. C. Dumir* Department of Applied Mechanics, Indian Institute of Technology, New Delhi, 110016 (India)
S UMbtA R Y This paper presents an approximate solution of the large deflection ax'wmmetric response of cylindrically orthotropic thin circular plates resting on Winkle& Pa.~ternakand non-linear Winklerfoundations. Plates with edges elastically restrained aga~nst rotation and inplane disphzcement are analyzed. Von K6rm~n-type equations are employed. The deflection is approximated by a one-term mode shape and Galerkin's method is used to obtain Duffing's equation for the central dd~ection. No,:-linear frequencies, postbuckling response and maximum response under step load have been obtained. The effect of various parmneters is studied and it is shown that satisfactory engineering accurao is achieved by the present method.
INTRODUCTION The problems of non-linear vibration and postbuckling response of plates have been extensively treated by Chia t and Nayfeh and Mook. 2 The case of fibre-reinforced cylindrically orthotropic circular plates resting on Pasternak elastic foundations has not received much attention. An approximate one-term space mode solution of the non-linear vibration of circular plates with rectilinear orthotropy has been presented by Nowinski 3 using yon Kfirmfin equations. Non-linear free vibrations of cylindrically orthotropic circular plates have been reported ~ using finite elements. Gajendra7 and Datta ~ employed Berger's equations and * Present address: 1-12, IV-4/A-4, liT Campus, Hauz Khas, New Delhi, 110016 (India). 401 Applied Acoustics 0003-682X/86/$03"50 © Elsevier Applied Science Publishers Ltd, England, 1986.

used the one-term Galerldn method to analyse the non-linear free vibration of immovable clamped and simply supported isotropic circular plates resting on linear Winkler foundations. Dumir et aL 9 have presented an 'assumed..time-mode' solution of von K~rm~n's equations using the orthogonal point collocation method to analyse the non-linear vibration of orthotropic circular plates on Winkler, Pasternak and non-linear Winlder foundations. Non-linear transient response of immovable clamped and simply supported isotropic circular plates on WinklerPasternak foundations subjected to uniformly distr;.buted step load has been analysed by Nath ~° using the Chebyshev series and the Houbolt technique. Axisymmetric postbuckling analysis of orthotropic circular plates has been presented by Dumir and Khatri ~ by the orthogonal point collocation method. Raju and Rao 12 have used finite elements to obtain the postbuckling response of orthotropic circular plates, with edges elastically restrained against rotation, resting on linear Winkler foundations. This paper presents an approximate one-term 'space-mode-solution' of the yon K~rm~n-type governing equations of o]thotropic uniform thin plates resting on Winkler, Pasternak and non-linear Winkler foundations. A perfect bonding between the plate and the foundation has been assumed. Plates with edges elastically restrained against rotation and inplane displacement are considered. Non-linear free vibratioil response, the maximum transient response to uniformly distributed transverse step load and postbuckling response to radial load at the edge have been obtained. It is shown that the approximate method gives sufficient accuracy for engineering applications. The effect of the orthotropic parameter is investigated.
GOVERNING EQUATIONS The foundation is modelled in terms of the Winlder parameter, k, the non-linear parameter, kl, and the shear parameter, g, of the Pasternak foundation. 13 For the axisymmetric case, it introduces a distributed force on the circular plate given by - ( k w * - k , w . 3 - g V ~ w *)

where w*(r, t) is the '.ransverse deflection. The governing equations for

The mass densities of the plate and foundation are 7 and 70- The effective mass density, '3 7*, is based on the assumption that the transverse displacement, w*(r, z, t), in a single layer foundation of depth H is given by w*(r, z, t) = ~,*(r, t ) , ~ z )

where A and B are determined from the two boundary conditions for w at the outer edge. An approximate solution for non-linear response is thus based on the following assumed "=:patialmode shape: w(p, z) = 0(T)[1 + CtP t +" + C2P']
(13)
This mode shape satisfies both of the conditions (1 lfa)) at p = 0. The boundary conditions (9(b)) yield

loads and the maximum deflection response to uniformly distributed step load are compared with the numerical re ;ults obtained by the method of orthogonal point collocation used by the author. 9'1~:5 Nonlinear free vibration results for orthotropic pl;~tes are compared in Table 1. It is noticed that, over a wide range of values of the foundation parameters and the edge stiffnesses, the error in the linear frequency, coo, ~s less than 1 per cent and the error in the period ratio, T/To, for C = 2 is less than 2 per cent for most cases. The comparison of buckling and postbuckling loads for platez with movable edges is given in Table 2 f o r / / = 2. The error in the buckling and postbuckling loads is much less than 5 per cent in most cases. The maximum deflection response to uniformly distributed step loads is compared in Table 3 f o r / / = 3. The error in the maximum response is less than 8 per cent. It is concluded from these comparisons that good engineering a~uracy is achieved by the approximate method for ~he deflection response under different types of loadings.

(G = 0) foundations, axe presented in Tables 4, 5 and 6 for the orthotropic parameters fl = 3, 5 and 10, respectively. Some observations can be made from these tabulated results. The deflection parameters, a~ and a3, the 1Aneaxfrequency, tOo, and the buckling load, Nc,, increase with the ~rthotropic parameter fl for all values of the foundation parameters, K, KI, G, and the edge stiffnesses, Ks, Ki. However, the effect of fl on the non-lineadt:/parameter, ~, or the postbuclding parameter, e~, is more complex. The linear deflection parameter, a~, the linear frequency, tOo, and the buckling load, Nc,, inc~ase with K, G and Ks. The non-linearity parameter, e, increases with K~(Kb = 0) and decreases w i ~ Ks (Ki = oo). The effect of K~on ~ is more than that of Ks. The non-linearity parameter 8 decreases with K and G. The effect of the foundation shear parameter, G, on the response is greater than that of the Winkler parameter, K.
CONCLUSIONS A unified simple approximate solution for linear and non-linear frequencies, buckling and postbuckling loads, and static and transient deflection response has been presented in this study using yon K/Lrmfin equations. Cylindrically orthotropic circular plates with edges elastically restrained for rotation and inplane displacement, resting on Winkler, Pasternak and non-linear Winkler foundations, are considered. It is shown that the accuracy achieved by the approximate method is satisfactory for engineering applications. The effect of various parameters has been investigated. The buckling load, Nc,, the deflection parameters, at1,0c3, and the linear frequency, tOo, increase with the orthotropic parameter, ft. The non-linearity parameter, 8, increases with the inplane support stiffness, Ki, and decreases with the rotational support stiffness, Kb, and the foundation parameters, K and G. The e~'cts of the inplane stiffness, Ki, and the shear parameter, G, of the foundation are more pronounced than the effects of the rotational stiffness, Kb, and the Winkler parameter, K, respectively.
