Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 機械工程研究所 === 81 === This thesis is described for the free vibration of elastically restrained trapezoidal plate which thickness is linear variable along one direction and takes an opposite boundary conditions as special cases, such as simple support or clamp support etc. In this paper, a semi- analytical finite strip method which is combined with the analysis solution and the finite element method is used for solving the problem. One makes use of the transform functions to map an arbitrarily shaped plate of the Cartesian coordinate system into the natural coordinate ξ-η plane, then divides the plane into some strips. Thus the problem is reduced to a one-dimension beam of problem. For uniform problem, the shape function which satisfied the elastically restrained condition is derived and concisely expressed in terms of the four normalized fundamental solutions of the beam governing characteristic differential equation. If the problem is non- uniform, an approximated method which is developed by Sen-Yung Lee and Yee-Hsiung Kuo is used in this paper. Finally, the transverse displacement function is taken into the energy equations, then stiffness and mass matrices can be got. The natural frequence is obtained by the generalize Jacobi method. A feature of the finite strip method is only need few strips for the results, so the storage can be reduced. Results in this paper are in excellent agreement with those found in the literature.
