✦ Synopsis

A formulation using the new concept of ''Ectoplasm'' that allows prediction of high order eigenfrequencies and mode shapes of a simply supported plate with cut-outs of any shape is presented. Hamilton's principle is used with a functional basis that does not depend on the shape of the cut-outs (boundary conditions for stresses around the holes do not matter). Such a basis allows easy computation but leads to a non-unique problem with ill-conditioned mass and stiffness matrices. The use of ''Ectoplasm'' overcomes these problems without increasing numerical calculation. Extreme examples of holes can be treated and high order modes can be calculated. The convergence of the method is studied and criteria are given to enable its use with a good accuracy. The method is validated by comparison with a finite element approach and previously published results.

An approximate solution of the title problem is obtained by using the Ritz method. It is assumed that the edges of the rectangular plate are elastically restrained against rotation and that translation is prevented. The displacement amplitude is approximated in terms of a polynomial co-ordinate func

The purpose of this paper is to extend the use of ''ectoplasm'' to a vibro-acoustic problem. The notion of ectoplasm had been presented in a previous paper treating the prediction of natural mode shapes of plates with holes of any shape. It was shown that a structure originally defined on a complex

The title problem is tackled by using polynomial co-ordinate functions and the Ritz method in order to generate an approximate frequency equation. It is shown that in the case of a clamped square plate the results are in good engineering agreement with frequency values obtained by means of the finit
