OS-V: 0395 Simply-Supported Thick Square Plate Random Forced Vibration Response

Test 21R OptiStruct is used to investigate the Peak Displacement in z-direction and extreme fiber bending stress at undamped Natural Frequency (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 steady-state random forcing with uniform power spectral density (of force) PSD= (106 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=5.772 and α2=6.929×10-5 are given.

The material properties are:
