Random Vibration of Thin Elastic Plates and Shallow Shells
Abstract
The large amplitude vibrations of thin elastic plates and shallow shells having boundary conditions and subjected to random excitation are investigated by using various approximate techniques. The random vibrations of rectangular plates and circular plates subjected to white random excitation are simulated numerically by two different methods. The first method is that the governing equations are reduced to a single-degree-of-freedom dynamical system and the reduced equation is then integrated numerically by the Runge-Kutta method employing the simulated approximate white noise as an input. The second method consists in integrating the equation of motion and the compatibility equation numerically by a finite-difference method employing the simulated approximate white noise as an input.
