OS-V: 0385 Simply-Supported Thick Square Plate Transient Forced Vibration Response

Test 21T OptiStruct is used to investigate the Peak Displacement in z-direction, the time at the peak displacement, extreme fiber bending stress at undamped Natural Frequency and the Static displacement at the center of the plate.

Benchmark Model

The 2nd order and 1st order quad elements are used to model the square plate of thickness 1.0m. The z-rotation and x, y translations are fixed for all the nodes, z-translation is fixed along all four edges, x-rotation is fixed along the edge x=0 and x=10 and y-rotation is fixed along the edge y=0 and y=10. A suddenly applied step load F0=106 N/m2 is induced in the z-direction. For modal analysis solution, a damping ratio of 0.02 is applied in all 16 modes at a time step of 0.0001 secs and for direct solution, Rayleigh damping factor α1=5.772 and α2=6.929×10-5 at a time step of 0.0001 secs are given.

The material properties are:
