Abstract:In this paper, two shear deformable dynamic stiffness elements for the free vibration analysis of rectangular, transversely isotropic, single-and multi-layer plates having arbitrary boundary conditions are presented. Dynamic stifness matrices are developed for the Reddy's higher-order shear deformation theory (HSDT) and the Mindlin-Reissner's first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT). The dynamic stiffness matrices contain both the stiffness and mass properties of the plate and can be assembled similarly as … Show more
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.
