VIBRATION FREQUENCIES FOR ELLIPTIC AND SEMIELLIPTIC MINDLIN PLATES
WANG CM, XIANG Y, KITIPORNCHAI S

 
Abstract
    This paper presents new frequency results for elliptical and semi-elliptical Mindlin plates of various aspect ratios, thicknesses and boundary conditions. The results were obtained using the recently developed computerized Rayleigh-Ritz method for thick plate analysis. For simply supported elliptical plates, it is proposed that the penalty function method be used to enforce the condition of zero rotation of the midplane normal in the tangent plane to the plate boundary.
