A novel Bessel function method is proposed to obtain the exact solutions for the free-vibration analysis of rectangular thin plates with three edge conditions: (i) fully simply supported; (ii) fully clamped, and (iii) two opposite edges simply supported and the other two edges clamped. Because Bessel functions satisfy the biharmonic differential equation of solid thin plate, the basic idea of the method is to superpose different Bessel functions to satisfy the edge conditions such that the governing differential equation and the boundary conditions of the thin plate are exactly satisfied. It is shown that the proposed method provides simple, direct, and highly accurate solutions for this family of problems. Examples are demonstrated by calculating the natural frequencies and the vibration modes for a square plate with all edges simply supported and clamped.

In this paper attention is focused on the free-vibration analysis of rectangular plates with combinations of clamped and simply supported edge conditions. Plates with at least two opposite edges simply supported are not considered as they have been analyzed in a separate paper. It is well known that the family of problems considered here have presented researchers with a formidable challenge over the years. This is because they are not directly amenable to Le´vy-type solutions. It has been pointed out in the literature that most of the existing solutions are approximate in that they either do not satisfy exactly the governing differential equation or the boundary conditions, or both. In a new approach taken by the author the method of superposition is exploited for handling these dynamic problems. It is found that solutions of any degree of exactitude are easily obtained. The governing differential equation is completely satisfied and the boundary conditions are satisfied to any degree of exactitude by merely increasing the number of terms in the series. Convergence is shown to be remarkably rapid and tabulated results are provided for a large range of parameters. The immediate applicability of the method to problems involving elastic restraint or inertia forces along the plate edges has been discussed in an earlier publication.

In this paper, free vibration analysis of thin symmetrically laminated skew plates with fully clamped edges is investigated. The governing differential equation for skew plate which is a fourth order partial differential equation (PDE) is obtained by transforming the differential equation in Cartesian coordinates into skew coordinates. Based on the multi-term extended Kantorovich method (MTEKM) an efficient and accurate approximate closed-form solution is presented for the governing PDE. Application of the MTEKM reduces the governing PDE to a dual set of ordinary differential equations. These sets of equations are then solved with infinite power series solution, in an iterative manner until convergence was achieved. Results of this study show the fast rate of convergence of the MTEKM. Usually two or three iterations are enough to obtain reasonably accurate results. The frequency parameters of laminated composite plates are obtained for different skew angles and lay-up configuration for different composites laminates skew plates. Comparisons have been made with the available results in the literature which show the accuracy and efficiency of the method.

In the present study, a 5th order shear deformation theory (5th OSDT) is presented for free vibration analysis of simply supported thick isotropic plates. Governing equations and boundary conditions are evaluated using the concept of virtual work. Numerical results for free vibration analysis include the effects of side to thickness and plate aspect ratios for simply supported thick isotropic plates. Non-dimensional bending mode frequencies, non-dimensional thickness shear mode frequencies and non-dimensional thickness stretch mode frequencies are obtained. Closed form analytical solutions for simply supported isotropic thick plates subjected to single sinusoidal distributed loads are obtained for comparison purpose. The problems considered in this study are solved using MATLAB software. Non-dimensional bending frequencies and non-dimensional thickness shear mode frequencies obtained through the 5th OSDT match well with the exact analytical and exponential shear deformation theory (ESDT) results. Further, the non-dimensional thickness stretch mode frequencies are found to be imaginary.
