In this study, static bending and free vibrations of symmetric rectangular laminated composite plates are examined by using a new trigonometric series expansion technique and finite element analysis. Kirchhoff (Classical Laminated Plate) plate theory is applied in the analytical formulation of both bending and free vibration problems. Mid-plane displacement is expanded into a series of trigonometric shape functions, which allow exact satisfaction of the boundary conditions. In the case of static bending, application of the Rayleigh-Ritz method leads to a linear system for the coefficients of the trigonometric series. For free vibrations, minimization of the energy functional in conjunction with the Rayleigh-Ritz approach results in an eigenvalue problem. Finite element models for both bending and free vibrations are constructed by means of plate elements that incorporate first-order shear deformation theory. Numerical results are generated for simply-supported and fully-clamped composite plates as well as for a composite plate with a single free and three clamped edges. The trigonometric series technique developed is verified by comparisons to the outcomes of the finite element analyses. Presented numerical results illustrate the effects of geometrical parameters, boundary conditions, and composite plate stacking sequence on deflection, transverse stresses, natural frequencies, and mode shapes. The proposed method leads to rapid convergence, possesses computational efficiency, and could be useful in design and optimization studies involving laminated composite structures.

Nonlinear Vibration Analysis of Uniform and Functionally Graded Beams with Spectral Chebyshev Technique and Harmonic Balance Method Dedekoy, Demir; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Bediz, Bekir (2023-01-01) In this paper, nonlinear forced vibrations of uniform and functionally graded Euler-Bernoulli beams with large deformation are studied. Spectral and temporal boundary value problems of beam vibrations do not always have closed-form analytical solutions. As a result, many approximate methods are used to obtain the solution by discretizing the spatial problem. Spectral Chebyshev technique (SCT) utilizes the Chebyshev polynomials for spatial discretization and applies Galerkin's method to obtain boundary condi...
Nonlinear 3D Modeling and Vibration Analysis of Horizontal Drum Type Washing Machines Baykal, Cem; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Yazıcıoğlu, Yiğit (2020-01-01) In this study, a nonlinear 3-D mathematical model for horizontal drum type washing machines is developed considering rotating unbalance type excitation. Nonlinear differential equations of motion are converted into a set of nonlinear algebraic equations by using Harmonic Balance Method (HBM). The resulting nonlinear algebraic equations are solved by using Newton’s method with arc-length continuation. Several case studies are performed in order to observe the effects of orientation angles of springs and damp...
Free flexural( or bending) vibrations analysis of doubly stiffened, composite, orthotropic base plates and panels (in aero-structural systems) Çil, Kürşad; Yüceoğlu, Umur; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2003) In this Thesis, the problem of the أFree Vibrations Analysis of Doubly Stiffened Composite, Orthotropic and/or Isotropic, Base Plates or Panels (with Orthotropic Stiffening Plate Strips)ؤ is investigated. The composite plate or panel system is made of an أOrthotropic and/or Isotropic Base Plateؤ stiffened or reinforced by adhesively bonded أUpper and Lower Orthotropic Stiffening Plate Stripsؤ. The plates are assumed to be the أMindlin Platesؤ connected by relatively very thin adhesive layers. The general pr...
Modelling of graded rectangular micro-plates with variable length scale parameters Aghazadeh, Reza; Dağ, Serkan; Ciğeroğlu, Ender (2018-03-10) This article presents strain gradient elasticity-based procedures for static bending, free vibration and buckling analyses of functionally graded rectangular micro-plates. The developed method allows consideration of smooth spatial variations of length scale parameters of strain gradient elasticity. Governing partial differential equations and boundary conditions are derived by following the variational approach and applying Hamilton's principle. Displacement field is expressed in a unified way to produce n...
A weak-form spectral Chebyshev technique for nonlinear vibrations of rotating functionally graded beams Lotfan, Saeed; Dedekoy, Demir; Bediz, Bekir; Ciğeroğlu, Ender (2023-02-01) This study presents the spectral Chebyshev technique (SCT) for nonlinear vibrations of rotating beams based on a weak formulation. In addition to providing a fast-converging and precise solution for linear vibrations of structures with complex geometry, material, and physics, this method is further advanced to be able to analyze the nonlinear vibration behavior of continuous systems. Rotational motion and material gradation further complicate this nonlinear behavior. Accordingly, the beam is considered to b...
