Dynamics of plate with polymeric coating

Abstract

The paper considers the problem of suppressing vibration in a metal plate with polymeric coating. These types of plates are loaded with periodic variable force. The linear theory of plates and the method of complex numbers were used for calculations. The variation equation of oscillation was solved by the Ritz method. Optimum thickness of polymeric coating was determined for particular compositions of metal and plastics. First published online: 14 Oct 2010
