Effect Of Dimensions Smart Attached Mass And Local Stiffness On Dynamic Response Of Thick Plates

This article for the first time is concerned with effects of parameters as local smart stiffness and smart attached mass dimensions of dynamic behavior of thick laminated plates with attached mass. In deriving governing equations, Gark-Kant’s higher order theory is used and effects of SMA and attached mass`s stiffness taken into account and finally vibration equations of thick plate carrying attached mass contain SMA is reached by using Hamilton`s principal. Then by means of Galerkin method, mass and stiffness matrices are extracted for achieving to a standard eigenvalue vibration problem. In this problem simply supported boundary condition is used for each four edges. Some important parameters such as ratio of local stiffness to stiffness of host structure and smart attached mass dimension on main frequencies of laminated thick plate is studied. A Comparative result with those in published references is presented. These numerical results show that local stiffness due to smart attached mass has a great role on dynamic behavior of thick laminated plates that if SMA didn`t active properly or ignore the effect of attached mass`s stiffness the dynamic response of system will have a lot of changes.
