Mindlin-Reissner Plates

The Mindlin-Reissner platePlate theory is used to obtain the governing equationsPlatesgoverning equation for rectangular and circular platesPlatescircular. Natural frequencies and node shapes are obtained for a rectangular platePlatesrectangular hinged on all four edges and forPlatessolid circular clamped aPlatescircular clampedBeams, Euler-Bernoulliclamped-clamped solid circular platePlate. The results are compared to those obtained from the theory of thin plates discussed in Chap. 6 and regions of applicability are inferred.
