Abstract
This paper develops a finite strip-element method for the vibration analysis of thick plates. The method uses a combined polynomial and trigonometric interpolation scheme that enables all boundary conditions to be correctly treated. The global equations are derived in the usual manner of the finite element method, and natural frequencies of vibration can be found by solving a linear eigenvalue problem.
