Summary
An analysis on free vibration of plates taking into account the geometrical non linearity effect is carried out in this paper. The boundary element formulation used in an elasto-dynamic fundamental solution and the effects of the shear deformation and the rotatory inertia were considered in the plate behavior. The boundary integral equations included an additional domain integral to consider the geometric nonlinearity effect where in-plane forces were assumed invariant with time and the deflection derivatives dependent on the harmonic solution. The eigenvalue analysis was used to show the relation between maximum values for in-plane forces according to the frequency value. The basic inverse iteration method and the Rayleigh quotient were employed to compute the lowest eigenvalue. The results obtained were compared to available solutions in the literature to show the accuracy of the formulation.
