Abstract

The axisymmetric vibration of circular plates and its analog in elliptic plates with clamped, simply supported and free boundary conditions are investigated using boundary characteristic orthogonal polynomials in the Rayleigh—Ritz method. Modified polar coordinates are employed to analyze the vibration of elliptical plates, with circular plates as a special case. Axisymmetric vibration of circular plates and its analog in elliptical plates with concentric nodal elipses require only one-dimensional shape functions in the Rayleigh—Ritz method. The first six natural frequencies and the parameters associated with nodal ellipses are tabulated.
