A general method of solution for the vibration of rectangular plates with any type of timedependent boundary conditions is developed by an extension of the method of Mindlin and Goodman[l]. Forillustration, theproblemsofaplatewithdifferenttime-dependent boundary conditions are solved and the closed form solutions for the transverse deflections of the plate are obtained. The non-dimensionalized transverse deflections, (w/a) at the middle of the plate are evaluated numerically for different dimensions of the plate and different forcing functions. These are presented graphically against the non-dimensionalized time, T, for three cases and tabulated for other cases.
1. INTRODUCTION
Many structural problems are associated with time-dependent boundary conditions. These problems are generally solved by the classical method of separation of variables or the Laplace integral transform. Several authors [2-53 have solved vibration problems of rectangular isotropic plates by the energy method and by Levy’s method for time independent boundary conditions. Some workers [6, ?‘I have analyzed the problems of composite and sandwich plates with a time-dependent dynamic pressure under one-dimensional conditions. In this paper, the method developed by Mindlin and Goodman [l] is extended to the vibration of a finite rectangular plate with time-dependent boundary conditions. Following this derivation, three forced vibration problems are solved for a rectangular plate simply supported along two parallel edges with the other two edges supported in any manner. In problems 1 and 2, a simply supported plate, initially at rest, is considered and two of its edges are subjected to an oscillating bending moment and an oscillating transverse displacement, respectively. Problem 3 deals with a plate with one end subjected to an oscillating transverse displacement and the other to an oscillating bending moment. For the above problems, closed form expressions for the transverse, displacement are obtained and evaluated numerically at the centre of the plate.
2. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM AND SOLUTION Consider an isotropic rectangular plate of edge lengths (a, b), thickness h, density p and Poisson’s ratio v (a list of nomenclature is given in the Appendix). Let its two parallel sides x = 0, a be simply supported and subjected to a time-dependent displacement or force. With the classical assumptions, the governing equation of the vibration of the plate is DV4w + ph a2w/at2 = 0, where w(x, y, t) is the transverse deflection of the plate and D = Eh3/12(1 - v2). 327

2.1. PROBLEM 1
Consider a simply supported plate, initially at rest, two of whose edges, s = 0, a (say) are subjected to an oscillating bending moment of amplitude M(x. Y) and forcing function f’(t). The boundary conditions along the edges x = 0, a and the initial conditions are then, respectively, w = 0,a2w/ax2 w

w(x, Y, r) = Ux, Y,r) + [MO, Y)H,(x) + Ma, Y)HA(X)] f’(r).
where H,(x) and H,(x) are the unknown functions to be determined. Substituting equation (4) into the boundary conditions (2) gives UO, Y,r) + [MO, Y)H,(O) + No, Y)~,KY f(t) =

Without any loss of generality, one may assume H,(x) = H,(x) = 0 at x = 0, a, d2Ho(x)/dx2 = l/D d*H,(x)/dx*

where J(x, y) = M(0, y) H,(x) + M(0, y) H,(x), and the superscript dot denotes the differentiation with respect to time. The vibration equation (1) now can be written as V4U(x, Y, t) + (pm

(7)
F(x, Y,r) = - [f(t) V4J(x, Y) + M/D) J(x, Y) h,]. Hence, the problem reduces to the solution of equation (7) with the homogeneous boundary and initial conditions(5) and(6). Applying the classical separation of variable technique, one takes

At this stage, in the general case, one introduces the boundary conditions along the edges y = 0 and y = b. As specific illustrations of the general procedure we consider here two types of boundary conditions along y = 0 and y = b. 2.1.1. Case 1 Let the edges y = 0, b be simply supported: i.e., MJ= 0, M, = 0 for y = 0, b. Proceeding as before, the boundary and initial conditions on Y,(y, t) are

A simply supported plate is initially at rest; its edges x = 0, a (say) are then forced into oscillating displacements, the forcing function being .f’(t). Hence the boundary conditions along the edges x = 0, a are
w = A(x, y)af(t), a2~/dxZ = 0 for x = 0, a.
(16)
Proceeding as before, with the particular values A(x, y) = A and f’(t) = sin ox, one obtains, as the non-dimensional expression for the transverse displacement in Case 1, w(X, Y T) = !$

A simply supported plate is initially at rest: one edge (x = 0) is then subjected to an oscillating displacement and the other one (x = a) to an oscillating bending moment. The boundary conditions along the two edges of the plate then can be written as

RESULTS
AND
CONCLUSIONS
With the assumed values u/h = 100, aM/D = A = 1, X = Y = 0.5, expressions ( 15), (17) and (19) have been evaluated at different time (T) intervals for different sets of values of a/b and 51.These are presented in the Tables I, 2 and 3 respectively. Graphs of the nondimensional transverse displacements for each problem, plotted against T, are shown for some values of a/b and B in Figures 1,2 and 3. For Problem 1, the amplitude of W is minimum for the square plate (u/b = 1). For a < b, the amplitude of W is greater than that for a square plate and the period decreases slightly as T increases. The case a > b gives the maximum amplitude of W and the period decreases further. For Problems 2 and 3, there is a marginal change in the amplitude of W for different a/b
