Abstract: | An isoparametric stiffened plate element is introduced for the free vibration analysis of eccentrically stiffened plates. The element has the ability to accommodate irregular boundaries. Moreover, the formulation considers shear deformation, hence, the formulation is applicable to both thick and thin plates. In the present formulation, the stiffeners can be placed anywhere within the plate element and they need not necessarily follow the nodal lines. In addition, the effects of lumped and consistent mass matrices on natural frequencies of stiffened plates are investigated. The effects of several parameters of the stiffener—eccentricity, shape, torsional stiffness etc.—on the natural frequencies of the stiffened plates are studied. |
