Abstract

A temperature-thickness coupling problem of non-homogeneous rectangular plate is analyzed. Here authors considered bi-parabolic variation in temperature i.e. parabolic in x-direction and parabolic in y-direction while variation in plate’s thickness is assumed bi-linear i.e. linear in x-direction and linear in y-direction. To characterize the non-homogeneity present in plate’s material, authors considered that poisson ratio and density of the plate’s material vary exponentially and linearly in one direction respectively. Along with, material of the plate is considered isotropic and visco-elastic. Rayleigh Ritz approach has been applied to find the time period and deflection for first two modes of vibration for diverse values of non-homogeneity constant, taper constant, density parameter, aspect ratio and thermal gradient. Results for both modes of vibration are shown in tabular form.
