Abstract
The influence of the amount of the supported area on the free and forced vibration properties of anisotropic plate is presented. Using the energy based finite difference method, the problem is modelled by a kind of finite difference element. Due to the significiance of the fundamental frequency of the plate, its variation was investigated with respect to the amount of the supported area on the plate, mechanical properties of plate material and translational spring coefficient of supports. The steady state response of viscoelastically supported plates was also investigated numerically for various damping coefficients and amounts of supported areas. Numerical results are obtained to investigate the effect of the ratio of the plate system. In the numerical examples, the natural frequency parameters and steady state responses to a sinusoidally varying force are assessed for the fundamental mode. Results showing effect of supported area ratios of plate indicate that variation of ratio of supported area of plate system is very significiant. Convergence studies are made. Many new results have been presented. Considered problems are solved within the frame work of Kirchhoff-Love hypothesis.
