Elastic diffusion vibrations of an isotropic Kirchhoff-Love plate under an unsteady distributed transverse load

Abstract

We investigated an unsteady elastic diffusion vibration of a simply supported rectangular isotropic Kirchhoff-Love plate. The plate is under the action of a distributed transverse load. A model that describes coupled elastic diffusion processes in a multicomponent continuum is used for the mathematical problem formulation. The model is taking into account the diffusion fluxes relaxation. The transverse vibration equations of a rectangular isotropic Kirchhoff-Love plate with diffusion were obtained from the model using the d'Alembert variational principle. The initial-boundary value problem of a freely supported isotropic rectangular plate bending is formulated on the basis of the obtained equations. The plate is under the action of elastic diffusion perturbations distributed over the surface. The problem solution of an unsteady elastic diffusion plate vibration is sought in an integral form. The surface Green's functions are the kernels of the integral representations. To find the Green's functions, we used the Laplace transform in time and the expansion into double trigonometric Fourier series in spatial coordinates. Green's functions in the image domain are represented in the form of rational functions and depend on the Laplace transform parameter. The transition to the original domain is done analytically through residues and tables of operational calculus. The surface Green's function analytical expressions are obtained. As a calculation example, we considered a freely supported elastodiffusive plate under the action of suddenly applied unsteady bending moments distributed over the plate surface. By using a three-component continuum, a numerical study of interactions between unsteady mechanical and diffusion fieldsis done for an isotropic plate. The influence of relaxation effects on the kinetics of mass transfer is investigated. The solution is presented in the analytical form, as well as in the graphs of the displacement fields and concentration increments on time and coordinates. At the end of the publication, the main conclusions are given about the fields coupling effect and the relaxation of diffusion fluxes on the stress-strain state and mass transfer in the plate.
