Benchmark Model

The 2nd order and 1st order quad elements are used to model the square plate of thickness 0.05 m. 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 random forcing with uniform power spectral density (of force) PSD = (100 N/m2)2/Hz is induced in the z-direction. For modal analysis solution, a damping ratio of 0.02 is applied in all 16 modes and for direct solution, Rayleigh damping factor α1 = 0.299 and α2 = 1.339×10-3 are given.

The material properties are:
