Abstract
The free lateral vibrations of simply-supported rectangular plates subject to both direct and shear in-plane forces are considered. The Ritz method is used to obtain an equation from which the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the plates can be determined. Numerical results are presented for plates of three different side ratios for various in-plane force conditions, and the effect of the in-plane shear force on the plate vibrations is discussed.
