We find that rich solution structures of some special fields of these equations come from the nonzero seed solution. However, these nonzero seed solutions is likely to result in the divergent phenomena for the other field component of the same equation. The convergence and the signification of all field components should be discussed when someone solves the nonlinear equation using the variable separating method.展开更多

The three c...A new two-eigenfunctions theory, using the amplitude deflection and the generalized curvature as two fundamental eigenfunctions, is proposed for the free vibration solutions of a rectangular Mindlin plate. The three classical eigenvalue differential equations of a Mindlin plate are reformulated to arrive at two new eigenvalue differential equations for the proposed theory. The closed form eigensolutions, which are solved from the two differential equations by means of the method of separation of variables are identical with those via Kirchhoff plate theory for thin plate, and can be employed to predict frequencies for any combinations of simply supported and clamped edge conditions. The free edges can also be dealt with if the other pair of opposite edges are simply supported. Some of the solutions were not available before. The frequency parameters agree closely with the available ones through pb-2 Rayleigh-Ritz method for different aspect ratios and relative thickness of plate.展开更多

Material properties were taken to be arbitrary distribution functions of the thickness. A temperature function that satisfies thermal boundary conditions at the edges and the variable separation method were used to reduce equation governing the steady state heat conduction to an ordinary differential equation （ODE） in the thickness coordinate which was solved analytically. Next, resulting variable coefficients ODE due to arbitrary distribution of material properties along thickness coordinate was also solved by the Peano-Baker series. Some numerical examples were given to demonstrate the accuracy, efficiency of the present model, mad to investigate the influence of different distributions of material properties on the temperature field. The numerical results confirm that the influence of different material distributions, gradient indices and thickness of plate to temperature field in plate can not be ignored.展开更多

Three different characteristic equations are derived by using three different methods. It is found that the deflection can be expressed by means of the four characteristic roots and the two rotations should be expressed by all the six characteristic roots,which is the particularity of Mindlin plate theory. And the closed-form solutions,which satisfy two of the three governing equations and all boundary conditions and are accurate for rectangular plates with moderate thickness,are derived for any combinations of simply supported and clamped edges. The free edges can also be dealt with if the other pair of opposite edges is simply supported. The present results agree well with results published previously by other methods for different aspect ratios and relative thickness.展开更多
