Description

This paper discusses the use of the finite strip-element method for the vibration analysis of multi-span, thick plate structures. The method uses a combination of polynomial and trigonometric shape functions that enables all boundary conditions to be correctly treated. The global equations are derived using standard finite element procedures, and accurate solutions are obtained with the generation and solution of few equations.
