Prediction of Natural Frequencies of Thick Circular Plates using Finite Element Analysis

Abstract

This paper presents linear free vibration of thick isotropic circular plates using finite element simulation. The three-dimensional ‘SOLID185’ element of ANSYS is used to calculate the natural frequencies of uniform circular plates. Some numerical results are given for various aspect ratios and boundary conditions at outer edges of the plate. The accuracy and convergence of the method are demonstrated by comparison studies with the available solutions in the literature.
