Abstract
This chapter is concerned with the vibration analysis of linear plates employing the mixed formulation based three-node flat triangular shell elements in Chapter 2. Square, circular and skew plates are studied. In particular, circular plates with various aspect ratios and boundary conditions are included. As a special example to reveal the features of the membrane component of the shell elements a plane stress problem is presented.
Keywords: Vibration analysis, plates, square, circular, skew.
