Bending and vibration of plates by finite element method
Abstract
Scope of Study: The purpose of this study is to use finite element approach to bending and vibration problems and compare results obtained with those of the classical approach. The finite element method assumes to start with either stress distribution or displacement distribution. In this report both the approaches are utilized and results compared for the case of a square plate fixed on four sides. Only rectangular elements are used. Conclusions: The results obtained from both approaches compare well with the results obtained by classical approach for the specific problems discussed. The finite element method is suitable for computer use.
