FUNDAMENTAL FREQUENCY OF TRANSVERSE VIBRATION OF ORTHOTROPIC PLATES OF REGULAR POLYGONAL SHAPE CARRYING A CONCENTRATED MASS P. A. A. L R. H.

1. The present study deals with the solution of the title problem using a conformal mapping approach coupled with the optimized Rayleigh–Ritz method [1, 2]. By conformally transforming the given shape in the z-plane onto a unit circle in the z-plane it is possible to construct co-ordinate functions which satisfy the essential boundary conditions in the case of simply supported and clamped plates. For the sake of simplicity, the azimuthal variation in the z-plane is disregarded and the following co-ordinate functions are used. (1) Simply supported plates: W 2 Wa = C1 (1 − rp) + Ca (1 − r p + 1) + C2 (1 − rp + 2),
z = r eiU.
(1)
(2) Clamped plates: W 2 Wa = C1 (1 − r p)2 + C2 (1 − r p + 1)2 + C3 (1 − rp + 2)2
(2)
where p is Rayleigh’s optimization parameter [2]. It should be pointed out that orthotropic plates are commonly used in engineering practice, e.g., printed circuit boards used in electronics applications. 2. Following Lekhnitskii’s standard notation [3] one expresses the governing functional in the form J(W) =

Tables 3 and 4 present values of V1 for simply supported and clamped orthotropic plates. The following orthotropic parameters have been considered: D2 /D1 = 4, Dk /D1 = 0·85, n2 = 0·30; D2 /D1 = 1, Dk /D1 = 0·85, n2 = 0·30; D2 /D1 =1, Dk /D1 = 0·10, n2 = 0·30; D2 /D1 = 0·25, Dk /D1 = 0·10, n2 = 0·30. In the case of bare plates (m = 0) the eigenvalues have been compared with those determined in reference [6].

Present results are, in general, somewhat lower. Possibly the values determined in reference [6] are rather high upper bounds since a single approximating function was used.
