THE WAVE VELOCITIES OF TRANSVERSE VIBRATIONS OF RECTANGULAR THIN PLATES, CONSIDERING RAYLEIGH'S ROTATORY MOMENT OF INERTIA AND TIMOSHENKO'S EFFECT OF SHEAR

ADDENDUM TO THE STUDIES ON RECTANGULAR PLATES

Abstract

In order to make clear the high-frequency vibrations of rectangular plates, it was neccessitated to appreciate the accuracies of the computed values of the wave velocities. It was satisfactorily verified that, if Rayleigh's rotatory moment of inertia and Timoshenko's effect of shear were considered, the exact results were gotten in practice.
