Abstract
Finite panels are large finite elements which permit plate structures to be analyzed with minimum discretization. Data preparation and computer storage requirements are signicantly reduced with finite panels compared with conventional finite elements. A finite panel for the dynamic analysis of plates is presented, extending the existing application which treat the static case. Complete functions are used to represent displacements, with coefficients being chosen by using a modified variational principle. Panel matrices, which are presented in an explicit form, may be used to analyze structures by using standard finite element procedures. The panel has variable degrees of freedom, which enables convergence to be readily assessed. Four examples demonstrate the accuracy of the panel.
