NONLINEAR VIBRATION OF BEAM- PLATES WITH A DELAMINATION

摘要

The problem of beam-plates with a delamination located at an arbitrary site undergoing non- linear free vibration without damp is investigated. For this problem, nonlinear governing equations as well as the continuity, equilibrium and compatibility conditions are established. The Galerkin method and harmonic balance method are employed to find solutions. Finally, in some examples, amplitude-frequency curves of the delaminated structure are presented in order to reveal some special dynamic features.
