| Abstract | ||||
| Investigating dynamic free vibration response of isotropic thin rectangular plate resting on two-parameter elastic foundation is of interest in the field of geotechnics, structure, highway, railway and mechanical engineering. This study employs analytical approach to the investigation of free vibration analysis of isotropic rectangular plate submerged in fluid and resting on combined elastic foundations under different support conditions. The nonlinear partial differential equation of the system is transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equation using the Galerkin method of separation. The resulting ordinary differential equation is solved using Adomian decomposition method (ADM). The reliability of the solutions obtained is validated with numerical and existing results as reported in the literature. Also, the bending moment and stress are analysed. The analytical solutions are used for the investigation of dynamic behaviour of plates in fluid, effect of aspect ratio, effect of elastic foundation parameters on natural frequency and effect of bending moment and stress on the mode of the vibrating plate. From the results, it is observed that the increase in elastic foundation parameter increases the natural frequency. Increasing the aspect ratio increases the natural frequency. Increasing the combined elastic foundation parameters increases the natural frequency. Natural frequency of plates reduces when submerged in fluid with the mode shapes not significantly affected. The node and antinodes of the mode shapes are affected by moment and stress. It is expected that the present study will add to the existing knowledge in the field of vibration of plates. | ||||
