Square Plate Out-of-Plane Vibration (thick shell mesh) — Welcome to LS-DYNA Examples

Home » Knowledge Base » Simple Examples » Intro by Jim Kennedy » Square Plate Out-of-Plane Vibration (thick shell mesh)

Natural frequencies of a solid simply supported plate are determined. Differences between S/R IPI thick shell (elform 2), assumed strain IPI thick shell (elform 3) and assumed strain RI thick shell (elform 5) can be studied. Example 13 from Introductory Manual for LS-DYNA Users by James M. Kennedy.
