Benchmark Model

The 2nd order and 1st order quad elements are used to model the square plate of thickness 0.05m. 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 steady-state harmonic forced vibration F = F0 (sin ωt-sin 3ωt) is induced in the z-direction. (F0 = 106 N/m2 over whole plate, ω = 2πf, f = 20 Hz). For modal analysis solution, a damping ratio of 0.02 is applied in all 16 modes and for direct solution, Rayleigh damping factor α1 = 5.772 and α2 = 6.929×10-5 are given.
