SS-V: 6020 Simply Supported Thin Square Plate - Transient Forced Vibration Response

Test No. VD03 View transient response of a simply supported square plate subjected to uniform forced vibration.

Definition

A simply supported thin square plate 10 x 10 x 0.05 m is subject to suddenly applied uniform pressure P=100 Pa which remains constant in time. Find peak dynamics response of the plate.

Sixteen (16) modes are used to approximate dynamics solution and 2% modal damping is assumed in all modes.

The material properties are:
Properties
Value
Modulus of Elasticity
2.e+11 Pa
Poisson's Ratio
0.3
Density
8.e+3 kg/m3

Results

The plate is simulated as a 3D solid body. Spot-lines were created at the mid-plane of the plate in order to apply hinge supports (Figure 1).
