Thermal Effect on Vibration of Non-homogeneous Parallelogram Plate of Linearly Varying Thickness

Abstract

In this paper, free vibration of non-homogeneous parallelogram plate of linearly varying thickness subjected to a linear temperature distribution along the length of the plate has been studied. Thermal Induced vibration of such plates has been taken as one dimensional temperature distribution in linear from only. The Rayleigh–Ritz technique has been used to determine the frequencies equation of the plate. The frequencies corresponding to the first two modes of vibration has been computed for a clamped parallelogram plate for different values of non-homogeneity constant, aspect ratio, thermal constant, thickness variation constant and skew angle.
