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).Figure 1.
