The theories involves parabolic, sinusoidal, hyperbolic and exponential functions inters of thickness coordinates to include transverse shear deforation effect. The nubers of unknowns are sae as that of first order shear deforation theory. The governing differential equations and boundary conditions are obtained by using the principle of virtual work. The results of bending and thickness shear ode frequencies for siply supported bea are presented and discussed critically with those of other theories. The results are found to agree well with the exact elasticity results wherever applicable. Coparison of dynaic shear correction factor is carried out using various shear deforation theories. Key words: Thick bea, shear deforation, principle of virtual work, free vibration, bending frequency, thickness shear frequency, dynaic shear correction factor. 1. Introduction Since the eleentary theory of bea (ETB) bending based on Euler-Bernoulli hypothesis neglects the transverse shear deforation, it underestiates deflections and overestiates the natural frequencies in case of thick beas where shear deforation effects are significant. Tioshenko (Tioshenko, 191) was the first to include refined effects such as rotatory inertia and shear deforation in the bea theory. This theory is now widely referred to as Tioshenko bea theory or first order shear deforation theory (FSDTs). In this theory transverse shear strain distribution is assued to be constant through the bea thickness and thus requires proble dependent shear correction factor. The accuracy of Tioshenko bea theory for transverse vibrations of siply supported bea in respect of the fundaental frequency is verified by Cowper (Cowper G. R., 1966) with a plane stress exact elasticity solution. The liitations of ETB and FSDTs led to the developent of higher order shear deforation theories. Many higher order shear deforation theories are available in the literature for static and vibration analysis of beas (Hildebrand F. B et al., 194, Bhiaraddi A et al., 199). The trigonoetric shear deforation theories are presented by Vlasov and Leont ev (Vlasov V. Z. et al., 1996) and Stein (Stein M., 1989) for thick beas. However, with these theories shear stress free boundary conditions are not Received on July 11 published on Septeber 11 85

satisfied at top and botto surfaces of the bea. Recently Ghugal and Shara (Ghugal Y. M et al., 9) presented hyperbolic shear deforation theory for thick beas. A study of literature by Ghugal and Shipi (Ghugal Y. M et al., ) indicates that the research work dealing with flexural analysis of thick beas using refined trigonoetric, hyperbolic and exponential shear deforation theories is very scant and is still in infancy. In this paper, assessent of various shear deforation theories (Ghugal Y. M., 6, Karaa M et al., ) is carries out for free vibration analysis of thick isotropic beas. The results obtained are copared with those of eleentary, refined and exact bea theories available in literature. 1.1 Bea under Consideration The bea under consideration occupies the region: b b h h x L ; y ; z (1) where x, y, z are Cartesian co-ordinates, L is length, b is width and h is the total depth of bea. The bea is subjected to transverse load of intensity q(x) per unit length of the bea. The bea can have any boundary and loading conditions. 1. Assuptions Made in Theoretical Forulation 1. The in-plane displaceent u in x direction consists of two parts: a) A displaceent coponent analogous to displaceent in eleentary bea theory of bending; b) Displaceent coponent due to shear deforation which is assued to be parabolic, sinusoidal, hyperbolic and exponential in nature with respect to thickness coordinate.. The transverse displaceent w in z direction is assued to be a function of x coordinate. Volue Issue 1 11 86

. One diensional constitutive law is used. 4. The bea is subjected to lateral load only. 1. The Displaceent Field Based on the before entioned assuptions, the displaceent field of the present unified refined bea theory is given as below: w u( x, z, t) = z + f ( z) φ( x, t) () x w x, z, t = w x, t () ( ) ( ) Here u and w are the axial and transverse displaceents of the bea center line in x and z -directions respectively and t is the tie. The φ represents the rotation of the crosssection of the bea at neutral axis which is an unknown function to be deterined. The f z assigned according to the shearing stress distribution through the functions ( ) thickness of the bea are given below. Model Abartsuyan Model (Abartsuian S. A., 1958) (Kruszewski f ( z) E.

Governing equations and boundary conditions Using the expressions for strains and stresses (4) through (7) and using the principle of virtual work, variationally consistent governing differential equations and boundary conditions for the bea under consideration can be obtained.

The governing equations for free flexural vibration of siply supported bea can be obtained by setting the applied transverse load equal to zero in Eqns.(9) and (1). A solution to resulting governing equations, which satisfies the associated initial conditions, is of the for: π x w= w sin sinωt L (15) π x φ = φ cos sinωt L (16) where w and φ are the aplitudes of translation and rotation respectively, and 5 ω is the natural frequency of the th ode of vibration.

Discussion of Results The results obtained fro the present theory are copared with the eleentary theory of bea (ETB), first order shear deforation theory (FSDT) of Tioshenko (Tioshenko S. P., 191), higher order shear deforation theories of Heyliger and Reddy (Heyliger P. R et al., 1988), Ghugal (Ghugal Y. M., 6) and exact elasticity solutions given by Cowper (Cowper G. R., 1968). The value of dynaic shear correction is copared with its exact value given by Lab (H. Lab 1917). a. Fundaental Flexural ode frequency ( ω ): The coparison of lowest natural frequency in flexural ode is shown in Table 1. Observation of Table 1 shows that, Abartsuyan Model (Abartsuian S. A., 1958) overestiates the lowest natural frequencies, in flexural ode by.884 % and.14 % for aspect ratios 4 and 1 respectively. The fundaental frequencies, in flexural ode predicted by Krishna Murty (Krishna Murty A. V., 1984), Touratier (Touratier M., 1991), Soldatos (Soldatos K. P., 199), Karaa et al. (Karaa M et al., ) and Kaczkawski Model (Kruszewski E. T., 1949) odels is identical and in excellent agreeent with the exact solution given by Cowper (Cowper G. R., 1968). Ghugal (Ghugal Y. M., 6) yields the exact value of lowest natural frequencies, in flexural ode for aspect ratios 4 and 1. FSDT of Tioshenko overestiates the flexural ode frequency by.845 % and.14 % for aspect ratios 4 and 1 respectively whereas ETB overestiates the sae by 6.8 % and 1.1 % due to neglect of shear deforation in the theory. The coparison of flexural frequency for various odes of vibration is shown in Table. The exaination of Table reveals that, the flexural frequencies obtained by various odels are in excellent agreeent with each other. Volue Issue 1 11 9

b. Fundaental frequency ( ω φ ): Table 1 shows coparison of lowest natural frequency in thickness shear ode. Exact solution for the lowest natural frequency in thickness shear ode is not available in the literature. Fro the Table 1 it is observed that, thickness shear ode frequencies predicted by Kaczkawski (Kruszewski E. T., 1949), Krishna Murty (Krishna Murty A. V., 1984), Touratier (Touratier M., 1991), Soldatos (Soldatos K. P., 199) and Karaa et al. (Karaa M et al., ) odels are in excellent agreeent with each other whereas Abartsuyan Model (Abartsuian S. A., 1958) overestiates the sae. Table shows coparison of thickness shear ode frequencies for various odes of vibration and found in good agreeent with each other.

The corresponding values of shear factor for = according to Krishna Murty (Krishna Murty A. V., 1984) and Soldatos (Soldatos K. P., 199) Models is identical. Abartsuyan Model (Abartsuian S.

6. Conclusions Fro the study of coparison of various shear deforation theories for the free vibration of isotropic beas following conclusions are drawn. 1. Results of lowest natural frequencies for flexural ode predicted by Krishna Murty (Krishna Murty A. V., 1984), Touratier (Touratier M., 1991) and Soldatos (Soldatos K.

Flexural ode frequencies predicted by Kaczkawski (Kruszewski E. T., 1949) and Akavci (Akavci S. S 7) Models are in tune with the exact solution..
