Free Vibration Analysis for Elastic Plate Resting on Two-Parameter Foundation by Coupling FEM and BEM

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on two-parameter foundation model and Mindlin plate theory, the FEM equation for free vibration analysis of elastic plates resting on elastic foundation is derived by Hamilton variation principle. The effect of foundation beneath the plate is combined in the stiffness matrix of the plate element, and the effect of the foundation outside the plate domain is taken into account by boundary element method. By coupling FEM and BEM, numerical analyses for the free vibration of foundation plates are carried out. Calculated frequencies are in good agreement with measured results, which proves the accuracy and efficiency of the present approach.
