Grillage analysis of plates for vibration and stability

Abstract EN

This study deals with the problem of approximating the dynamic and static analysis of plates by using equivalent grid-framework model.

The emphasis, for plate analysis, is on the stability and vibration analysis.

Numerical results are presented for many example problems, and they indicate that the adopted method is reasonably accurate.

For vibration analysis of plates using beam-column analogy the percentage of error is depends on mesh size.
