Abstract
This research article considers the flexural rigidity influence along both x and y axes on the dynamic response of orthotropic rectangular plate resting on constant elastic foundation with elastic end conditions. The orthotropic rectangular plate model is a coupled fourth order partial differential equation having variables and singular coefficients. The solutions to this model are arrived at by reconstructing the fourth order partial differential. This partial differential equation model is converted to a set of coupled second order ordinary differential equations by using a special technique adopted by Shadnam et al., [11]. This set of second order ordinary differential equations is then reduced using modified asymptotic method of Struble. The closed form solution is evaluated, resonance conditions are obtained and the results are showed in plotted curves to depict the influence of flexural rigidities along both x and y axes on the dynamic response of orthotropic rectangular plate resting on constant elastic foundation with elastic end conditions for both cases of moving distributed mass and moving distributed force.
