Abstract

The free vibration problem of rectangular plates with an arbitrary straight line support is treated by using the Rayleigh-Ritz method with products of polynomials as the admissible functions. The numerical results are presented for various diagonally supported plates, cantilever plates with an oblique support and diagonally supported orthotropic cantilever plates. For isotropic square plates, nodal patterns are also presented.
