A nth-Order Shear Deformation Theory for the Free Vibration Analysis of the Isotropic Plates on Elastic Foundations

Article Preview

Abstract:

A nth-order shear deformation theory for free vibration of the isotropic plates resting on a two-parameter Pasternak foundations is developed. The present theory does not require shear correction factor, and satisfies the zero transverse shear stress boundary conditions on the top and bottom surface of the plate. Governing equations are derived from the principle of virtual displacements. Meshless global collocation method based on the thin plate spline radial basis function is used to solve the governing differential equations. The accuracy of the present theory is demonstrated by comparing the present results with available published results.
