Abstract

This paper presents a highly accurate 2-D semi-analytical model for the vibration analyses of a plate with a power-law-profiled thickness variation. Based on the Rayleigh-Ritz method, Daubechies scaling functions are chosen as the admission functions. To validate the proposed model, convergence studies are carried out for different support lengths of the scaling functions. Validation studies on modal analyses and forced vibration analyses are performed and compared with FEM. Investigations show that the use of Daubechies wavelet functions allows enhancing the effectiveness of the Rayleigh-Ritz method to reach the mid-to-high frequency range. More specifically, the proposed model is able of predicting the first 100 modes accurately. Further studies using damping layers are carried out to illustrate the effectiveness of the power-law-profiled plates for vibration reductions.
