Abstract

Presented herein is a new method for the analysis of plates with clamped edges. The solutions for the natural frequencies of the plates are found using static analysis. The starting are the equations of motion of an isotropic rectangular plate supported on Winkler elastic foundation, with a positive or negative value. In either case, one can solve the displacements of such a plate under a given concentrated load. This deflection will be infinite if the plate losses its stiffness, or in other words, the generalized foundation is causing the plate to be unstable. The solution for the vibration frequencies of the plate is equivalent to finding the values of the negative elastic foundation that will yield infinite deflection under a point load on the plate. The solution for a clamped plate is decomposed as the sum of three cases of plates resting on elastic foundation: simply supported plate with a concentrated load, and two cases of distributed moments along opposite edges. The solution for simply supported plates with elastic foundation is found using Navier's method. For zero force, the vibration frequencies are found up to the desired accuracy by careful calculations at the neighborhood of the roots.
