A finite element method for nonlinear forced vibrations of rectangular plates

Abstract

The finite element method has been extended to determine the response of large amplitude forced vibrations of thin plates. A harmonic force matrix of a rectangular element under uniform harmonic excitation is developed for nonlinear forced vibration analysis. Inplane deformation and inertia are both considered in the formulation. Results obtained are compared with simple elliptic response, perturbation and other approximation solutions.
