Free vibration analysis of rectangular thin plates with corner and inner cutouts using C1 Chebyshev spectral element method
Thin-Walled Structures(2022)
Abstract
This paper presents a novel higher-order C1 continuous Chebyshev spectral element method for the free vibration analysis of rectangular thin plates with corner and inner cutouts. To achieve C1 continuity at the interfaces of adjacent elements, the Hermite interpolation functions through nonuniformly distributed Chebyshev nodes are employed to construct the element displacement field. A Gauss–Lobatto type quadrature is used to efficiently evaluate the element matrices. Comparison with other well-established methods show that the proposed element has good convergence and accuracy. The influence of cutout size, location and eccentric ratio on the natural vibration characteristics of plates are investigated.
