Abstract
The paper presents a solution to the dynamic response of three-layered, annular plates that are thermo-mechanically loaded. Time-dependent forces are considered to act on the facings of the plate. The thermal loading is defined by a flat, axisymmetric temperature field whose profile is expressed by the stationary or increase in time temperature differences between the plate edges. The cases of the plates loaded only thermally or mechanically have been examined. The problem has been solved analytically and numerically using the approximation methods: orthogonalization and finite difference. The selected reactions of an exemplar plate have been compared with the results obtained for the plate analyzed by the finite element method (FEM). The critical temperature differences and critical loads and corresponding dynamic buckling modes have been analyzed in detail. The numerous results presented for the dynamic responses have an important and practical meaning in the design process of plate structures subjected to complex thermo-mechanical loads.
