Thermal Vibration of Rectangle Plate with Two-Dimensional Circular Thickness Effect

Frequencies comprising two-dimensional circular thickness impacts are computed for the first time, for clamped rectangle plate under nonhomogeneity and temperature field. The study also comprises the two-dimensional temperature and one-dimensional density effect, on frequencies computation, utilizing the Rayleigh–Ritz technique. The objective of the study is to reduce the frequencies of the plate as well as to provide the effect of various plate parameters on frequencies. Numerical illustration and comparative study of the frequencies with other available results well authenticate the objective of the study. A comparison of frequency modes done for the clamped rectangle and square plate corresponding to tapering and aspect ratio and nonhomogeneity concludes that frequency obtained for the present study is very less in comparison with other studies done. A convergence study of the obtained results is also presented with the help of figures. The convergence study done concludes that rate of convergence in case of circular variation is faster than the other variations.
