A model of two coupled rectangular plates with elastically restrained coupling edge by using the Fourier series and Rayleigh-Ritz method is employed to analyze the power transmission and dynamic response, in which the flexural and in-plane vibrations are considered simultaneously. The contributions and effects of vibrational and internal force components of both flexural and in-plane vibration to the power transmission are investigated numerically. It is shown that the transverse shearing forces, twist moments and in-plane shearing forces have little influence on the power transmission, while the bending moments and the in-plane longitudinal forces play an important role in power transmission.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
