SDLS02 - Thin Plaque rhombus embedded at the edge
Summary:
This three-dimensional problem consists in seeking the frequencies of vibration of a mechanical structure
composed of a parallelepipedic plate (nonrectangular), embedded on only one side. This test of
mechanics of the structures corresponds to a dynamic analysis of a surface model having one
linear behavior. It comprises only one modeling.
This problem makes it possible to test the element of plate DKT and the calculation of frequencies of vibration by the method of
Lanczos.
The results obtained on the first two Eigen frequencies are in concord with those of the guide
VPCS.

Reference solution
2.1
Method of calculation used for the reference solution
The formula of reference is that given in card SDLS02/89 of the guide VPCS which presents
method of calculation in the following way:

· Mr. V. Barton mentions the sensitivity of the result to the command of the mode and the angle.
· This reference solution applies to the thin sections such as: T/has < 0.1.
· Coefficients I were established with a limited development of an insufficient nature.
2.2
Results of reference
The first two clean modes given by:
· the formula of Mr. V. Barton,
· the average of 5 software packages of calculation by the finite element method.

Uncertainty on the solution
Semi-analytical solution < 2%.
