Studying the Vibrations of In-plane Loaded Plates of Variable Thickness

  • Published:
International Applied Mechanics Aims and scope

Abstract

A technique for analyzing the natural vibrations of variable-thickness plates under in-plane loading has been developed. The technique is based on variational and R-function methods. It is used to study the dependence of the natural frequencies of the plates on their shape and boundary and loading conditions
