In the present study, a 5th order shear deformation theory (5th OSDT) is presented for free vibration analysis of simply supported thick isotropic plates. Governing equations and boundary conditions are evaluated using the concept of virtual work. Numerical results for free vibration analysis include the effects of side to thickness and plate aspect ratios for simply supported thick isotropic plates. Non-dimensional bending mode frequencies, non-dimensional thickness shear mode frequencies and non-dimensional thickness stretch mode frequencies are obtained. Closed form analytical solutions for simply supported isotropic thick plates subjected to single sinusoidal distributed loads are obtained for comparison purpose. The problems considered in this study are solved using MATLAB software. Non-dimensional bending frequencies and non-dimensional thickness shear mode frequencies obtained through the 5th OSDT match well with the exact analytical and exponential shear deformation theory (ESDT) results. Further, the non-dimensional thickness stretch mode frequencies are found to be imaginary.

This article presents the free vibration analysis of simply supported plate FG porous using a high order shear deformation theory. In is work the material properties of the porous plate FG vary across the thickness. The proposed theory contains four unknowns unlike the other theories which contain five unknowns. This theory has a parabolic shear deformation distribution across the thickness. So it is useless to use the shear correction factors. The Hamilton's principle will be used herein to determine the equations of motion. Since, the plate are simply supported the Navier procedure will be retained. To show the precision of this model, several comparisons have been made between the present results and those of existing theories in the literature for non-porous plates. Effects of the exponent graded and porosity factors are investigated.

The purpose of this paper is to study free vibration analysis of thick plates resting on Winkler foundation using Mindlin’s theory with first order finite element, to determine the effects of the thickness/span ratio, the aspect ratio, subgrade reaction modulus and the boundary conditions on the frequency parameters of thick plates subjected to free vibration. In the analysis, finite element method is used for spatial integration. Finite element formulation of the equations of the thick plate theory is derived by using first order displacement shape functions. A computer program using finite element method is coded in C++ to analyze the plates free, clamped or simply supported along all four edges. In the analysis, 4-noded finite element is used. Graphs are presented that should help engineers in the design of thick plates subjected to earthquake excitations. It is concluded that 4-noded finite element can be effectively used in the free vibration analysis of thick plates. It is also concluded that, in general, the changes in the thickness/span ratio are more effective on the maximum responses considered in this study than the changes in the aspect ratio.
