Y. Xiang et al., FLEXURAL VIBRATION OF SKEW MINDLIN PLATES WITH OBLIQUE INTERNAL LINE SUPPORTS, Journal of sound and vibration, 178(4), 1994, pp. 535-551
A free vibration analysis of moderately thick skew plates with oblique
internal line supports is presented. Mindlin's plate theory is employ
ed and the pb-2 Rayleigh-Ritz method is applied to obtain the governin
g eigenvalue equation for internally supported skew plates. A set of n
atural frequencies for skew Mindlin plates with oblique internal line
supports having different combinations of boundary conditions has been
determined for various aspects ratios a/b, relative thickness ratios
t/b and skew angles alpha. The validity of the approach is illustrated
by comparing the results with other established values. From literatu
re searches, it appears that no work has previously been done on the f
ree vibration of moderately thick skew plates with oblique internal li
ne supports. Thus this paper may provide some important information to
designers and engineers for use in practical applications.
