Fundamental Frequencies of Simply Supported but Partially Clamped Square Plates

Abstract

This paper deals with the fundamental vibration of a simply supported but partially clamped square plate. The energy method is applied here, which was proposed in the former paper for solving the general problems of statical deflections, stationary vibrations, bucklings, etc. of rectangular plates. Numerical calculations are caurried out for fourteen cases, two of which are containd in the former paper, and five diagrams are obtained which give the fundamental frequencies of square plates under typical boundary conditions.
