A SIMPLE METHOD OF VIBRATION ANALYSIS OF SPECIAL ORTHOTROPIC PLATE WITH A PAIR OF OPPOSITE EDGES SIMPLY SUPPORTED AND THE OTHER PAIR OF OPPOSITE EDGES FREE

In this paper, a simple but accurate method of vibration analysis of structural elements with or without attached mass/masses is presented. The method used has been developed by the senior author since 1974. This method is very effective for the plates with arbitrary boundary conditions and irregular sections. This method is applied to the special orthotropic plate with two opposite edges simply supported and the other two opposite edges free. Such plate represents the most of the simply supported bridges/decks, including concrete and girders-cross beam systems. Detailed illustration is given for beams and plates for easy understanding. Some laminate orientation for which the special orthotropic equations can be applied are identified.
