A finite element time domain modal formulation is presented for the large amplitude free vibration of plates. The procedure of deriving the non-linear modal equations of motion is simple and general. Accurate frequency-maximum deflection relations can be obtained for the fundamental and higher non-l

โฆ Synopsis
Large amplitude free flexural vibrations of horizontally circular curved beams have been investigated for the first time. Numerical solutions have been obtained by the finite element method. A three-noded horizontally curved isoparametric beam element has been chosen for this purpose. A non-linear stiffness matrix has resulted due to bending-membrane coupling. The non-linear eigenvalue problem has been solved by the direct iteration technique. As no existing results are available for the problem at hand, large amplitude frequencies obtained for curved beams having large radius and small included angle are first compared with straight beams for varying parameters having different support conditions. A large number of results for the non-linear frequencies of horizontally curved beams having varying included angles, radii, amplitude ratios and support conditions have been evaluated.
