Finite element solution for beams using an element averaging technique

The article investigates the error in the computation of natural frequency through finite element models of the structures when elements of unequal length are chosen and then goes on to suggest an averaging technique for unequal length elements, with different structural properties. Using the element averaging technique, a typical structure has been analysed for its natural frequencies and the results are described.

Forced vibrations of simply supported orthotropic sandwich plates

Force transmissibility, driving-point impedance, and transfer impedance of a simply supported rectangular orthotropic sandwich plate are investigated. The plate is driven by a sinusoidally varying point force either at the plate center or at any arbitrary location. The variation of force transmissibility and impedance with frequency, and the manner in which this is influenced by the various sandwich-plate parameters are studied and presented graphically.
