Abstract

4 semi-analytical approach for the dynamic response of general thin plates which employes finite element discretization in space domain and a series of representation in time domain is developed on the basis of Gurtin variational principles. The formulation of time series is also investigated so that the dynamic response of plates with arbitrary shape and boundary constraints can be achieved with adequate accuracy.
