An exact analytical method is presented for the vibration response of a finite, three-layered, rectangular sandwich plate with a visco-elastic core, subjected to a harmonic line force which varies sinusoidally across the plate. Uniform parallel stiffeners (which may all be different) span the plate between one pair of simply supported edges. The other pair of edges may have any degree or type of uniform constraint. In the analysis the known flexural wave motion in an infinite parallel unstiffened plate subjected to a single harmonic line force or moment is utilized. A matrix equation is set up for the reactions imposed on the plate by the stiffeners and for the amplitudes of wave motion reflected from the ends of a finite plate. The sandwich core may have large or small amounts of damping. Results computed from the theory are presented and are shown to compare well with experimental data. The influence of the stiffener and core properties on the plate harmonic response is readily determined.

THE HARMONIC RESPONSE OF UNIFORM BEAMS ON MULTIPLE LINEAR SUPPORTS - A FLEXURAL WAVE ANALYSIS MEAD, DJ; Yaman, Yavuz (Elsevier BV, 1990-09-22) A wave approach is developed for the exact analysis of the harmonic response of uniform finite beams on multiple supports. The beam may be excited by single or multi-point harmonic forces or moments; its supports may have general linear characteristics which may include displacement-rotation coupling. Use is made of the harmonic response function for an infinite beam subjected to a single-point harmonic force or moment. The unknowns of the finite beam problem are the support reaction forces/moments and the ...
A refined dynamic theory for viscoelastic cylindrical shells and cylindrical laminated composites, Part 2: An application Birlik, G.A.; Mengi, Yalçın (Elsevier BV, 1989-4) In this study, the general approximate theory developed in Part 1 for shells is assessed for axially symmetric elastic waves propagating in a closed circular cylindrical shell (hollow rod). The spectra predicted by zeroth and second order approximate theories are determined for various values of shell thicknesses and the Poisson ratios and they are compared with those of exact theory. It is found that the agreement between the two is good. Approximate and exact cut-off frequencies match almost exactly. The ...
A refined dynamic theory for viscoelastic cylindrical shells and cylindrical laminated composites, Part 1: General theory Birlik, G.A.; Mengi, Yalçın (Elsevier BV, 1989-4) Through the use of a new technique, approximate theories are developed for the dynamic response of viscoelastic cylindrical shells and cylindrical laminated composites (CLC). The new technique eliminates the inconsistencies between the deformation shapes assumed over the thickness of the shell and the boundary or interface conditions to be satisfied on its lateral surfaces. Accordingly, the theory correctly predicts the dynamic behavior of shells or CLC without using any correction factors. Due to its lengt...
THE RESIDUAL VARIABLE METHOD APPLIED TO ACOUSTIC-WAVE PROPAGATION FROM A SPHERICAL SURFACE AKKAS, N; ERDOGAN, F (ASME International, 1993-01-01) The classical wave equation in spherical coordinates is expressed in terms of a residual potential applying the Residual Variable Method. This method essentially eliminates the second derivative of the potential with respect to the radial coordinate from the wave equation. Thus, the dynamic pressure distribution on the surface of a spherical cavity can be studied by considering the cavity surface only. Moreover, the Residual Variable Method, being amenable to ''marching'' solutions in a finite-difference im...
A modal superposition method for non-linear structures Kuran, B; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (Elsevier BV, 1996-01-25) The dynamic response of multi-degree of freedom (MDOF) non-linear structures is usually determined by the numerical integration of equations of motion. This is computationally very costly for steady state response analysis. In this study, a powerful and economical method is developed for the harmonic response analysis of non-linear structures. In this method, the equations of motion are first converted into a set of non-linear algebraic equations, and then the number of equations to be solved is reduced by ...
