Abstract

A finite element formulation for the large amplitude free oscillations of beams and orthotropic circular plates is presented in this paper. The present formulation does not need the knowledge of longitudinal/inplane forces developed due to large displacements and thus avoids the use of corresponding geometric stiffness matrices, which were used in earlier finite element formulations. The convergence of the results obtained by using the present formulation is very good. Comparison of the present results with the earlier work wherever possible confirms the reliability and effectiveness of the present finite element formulation.
