Static & Free Vibration Analysis of an Isotropic and Orthotropic Thin Plate using Finite Element Analysis (FEA)

This paper describes the static and dynamic analysis of thin isotropic and orthotropic CCCC plates. Two methods of analyses were carried out and compared. One is the theoretical analysis, the second is the finite element analysis with the conventional finite element modeling approach. The theoretical analysis was divided into stress, deflection, and frequencies calculations. The analysis was carried out using the classical thin plate theory. For the finite element analysis, the analyses were performed using the ANSYS finite element software. The first Five natural frequencies were obtained for the plates. For all these methods, the theoretical and numerical analyses are to be compared.
