BOUNDARY INTEGRAL EQUATION METHOD FOR VIBRATION ANALYSIS OF ORTHOTROPIC THICK PLATES

In this paper the static fundamental solutions of orthotropic thick plates are takes as the kernel function of boundary integral equation,The boundary integral equations for vibration analysis of orthotropic thick plate;are formulated by the method of weighted residuals.The numerical implementation of boundary integral equations is discussed in detail and serval examples of different boundary conditions are given to demonstrate the correctness of the present method.
