β¦ Synopsis
The spline finite strip method which has long been applied to the vibration analysis of bare plate has been extended in this paper to stiffened plates having arbitrary shapes. Both concentrically and eccentrically stiffened plate have been analyzed. The main elegance of the formulation lies in the treatment of the stiffeners. The stiffeners can be placed anywhere within the plate strip, and need not be placed on the nodal lines. Stiffened plates having various shapes, boundary conditions and also possessing various disposition of stiffeners, as available in the literature, have been analyzed by the proposed approach. Comparison with published results indicates excelient agreement.

Utilizing the superposition method, a solution is obtained for the free vibration eigenvalues of Mindlin plates resting on uniform lateral elastic edge support. Subsequently, it is shown how minor modifications to the eigenvalue matrix permit the incorporation of the additional effects of rotational
