RESPONSE OF RECTANGULAR ORTHOTROPIC PLATES TO RANDOM EXCITATIONS

The paper describes the application of the finite strip method, a modification of the finite element method, to determine the random response of rectangular plates. An example problem of a rectangular orthotropic plate, simply supported on two opposite edges and clamped on the other two, under acoustic white noise excitation is solved.
