<strong>Frequencies</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Mode</strong> <strong>Shapes</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />

A <strong>Vibrating</strong> <strong>Flat</strong> <strong>Plate</strong><br />

Motivation<br />

�In Space, no one can hear you scream about<br />

how little damping there is.<br />

�Dynamic <strong>Mode</strong>ls <strong>of</strong> Flexible Systems are<br />

necessary, but Analytical Solutions are<br />

Large.<br />

�Finite Element Solutions Usually Yield<br />

Comparable Results


<strong>Mode</strong>ling<br />

�Round 1: Kirch<strong>of</strong>f Versus Mindlin<br />

�Round 2: Shell Versus Brick<br />

�Round 3: Boundary Condition Battle<br />

Royale


Assumptions (Kirch<strong>of</strong>f)<br />

�Deflections are small compared to thickness<br />

�No transverse normal stresses<br />

�The middle plane <strong>of</strong> the plate is a neutral<br />

plane<br />

�Straight lines normal to middle plane<br />

remain normal after bending.


“Analytical” Solution<br />

�Separation <strong>of</strong> Time-Dependant <strong>and</strong> Spatial-<br />

Dependant Variables.<br />

�For natural frequencies, the Eigenvalue<br />

problem is solved for Spatial Dimensions.<br />

�This involves the boundary conditions, <strong>and</strong><br />

geometric <strong>and</strong> material properties.


<strong>Plate</strong> Properties<br />

�<strong>Plate</strong> is 1 meter long by 1 meter wide<br />

�<strong>Plate</strong> Thickness <strong>of</strong> 0.01 meters<br />

�Material Properties for Aluminum <strong>Plate</strong>:<br />

�Young’s Modulus=73.1 Gpa<br />

�Mass Density= 2770 kg/m 3<br />

�Poission’s Ratio=0.33


MATLAB Results<br />

� First <strong>Mode</strong> Shape<br />

� Natural Frequency<br />

= 49.353 Hz<br />

� Maximum Deflection<br />

=0.3800 m


MATLAB Results<br />

� Second <strong>Mode</strong> Results<br />

� Natural Frequency<br />

= 123.383 Hz<br />

� Maximum Deflection<br />

= 0.3800 m


ANSYS Results<br />

� First <strong>Mode</strong> Results<br />

� Natural Frequency =<br />

49.209 Hz<br />

� Maximum Deflection<br />

=0.380052m


ANSYS Results<br />

� Second <strong>Mode</strong> Results<br />

� Natural Frequency<br />

=122.752 Hz<br />

� Maximum Deflection<br />

=0.3201m


Conclusions<br />

�FEA <strong>Mode</strong>ling <strong>of</strong> Vibration Problems is<br />

Simple <strong>and</strong> Accurate<br />

�Ansys is a good tool for visualization <strong>of</strong><br />

vibration modes <strong>and</strong> eigenvalue extraction.
