The objective of this work is to present a new method for the dynamic and static analysis of thin, elastic, isotropic, non-uniform circular and annular plates. The method is a combination of plate theory and finite element analysis. The plate is divided into one circular and many annular finite elem

β¦ Synopsis
This paper presents a method for the dynamic analysis of a thin, elastic, isotropic rectangular plate. The method is a hybrid of "nite element theory and classical thin plate theory. The displacement functions are derived from Sanders' thin-shell equations, and are expanded in power series. Expressions for mass and sti!ness are determined by precise analytical integration. The free vibrations of rectangular plates, with various boundary conditions, are studied by following this method. The results obtained reveal that the frequencies calculated in this way are in good agreement with those obtained by others.

The plate characteristic functions are used to express the deflection shapes in the Rayleigh-Ritz method to study rectangular plate vibrations. Since the plate characteristic functions are reasonable approximations to the vibration modes, they are found to improve the convergence of vibration freque
## Abstract In this paper, field patterns in Vβshaped microshield transmission line are calculated by using the edgeβbased finite element method. The dependence of the field patterns upon the thickness of metallic signal strip and the dielectric constant of dielectric substrate is presented. The fi
