INTRODUCTION Plates are structural elements whch are commonly used n the buldng ndustry. A plate s consdered to be a thn plate f the rato of the plate thckness to the smaller span length s less than 1/2; t s consdered to be a thck plate f ths rato s larger than 1/2 [1]. The dynamc behavor of thn plates has been nvestgated by many researchers [2-17]. There are also many references on the behavor of the thck plates subjected to dfferent loads. The studes made on the behavor of the thck plates are based on the Ressner-Mndln plate theory [18, 19, 2, 21]. Ths theory requres only C contnuty for the fnte elements n the analyss of thn and thck plates. Therefore, t appears as an alternatve to the thn plate theory whch also requres C 1 contnuty. Ths requrement n the thn plate theory s solved easly f Mndln theory s used n the analyss of thn plates. Despte the smple formulaton of ths theory, dscretzaton of the plate by means of the fnte element comes out to be an mportant parameter. In many cases, numercal soluton can have lack of convergence, whch s known as shear-lockng. Shear lockng can be avoded by ncreasng the mesh sze,.e. usng fner mesh, but f the * Correspondng Author: e-mal: yaprakozdemr@hotmal.com, tel: (462) 377 4 18 191

Y.I. Özdemr / Sgma J Eng & Nat Sc 36 (1), 191-26, 218 thckness/span rato s to o small, convergence may not be acheved even f the fner mesh s used for the low order dsplacement shape functons. In order to avod shear lockng problem, the dfferent methods and technques, such as reduced and selectve reduced ntegraton, the substtute shear stran method, etc., are used by several researchers [22, 23, 24, 25, 26]. The same problem can also be prevented by usng hgher order dsplacement shape functon [27, 28]. Wanj and Cheung [29] proposed a new quadrlateral thn/thck plate element based on the Mndln-Ressner theory. Soh et al. [3] mproved a new element ARS-Q12 whch s a smple quadrlateral 12 DOF plate bendng element based on Ressner-Mndln theory for analyss of thck and thn plates. Brezz and Marn [31] developped a lockng free nonconformng element for the Ressner-Mndln plate usng dscontnuous Galarkn technques. Belounar and Guenfound [32] mproved a nev rectangular fnte element based on the stran approach and the Ressner-Mndln theory s presented for the analyss of plates n bendng ether thck or thn. Vbraton analyss made by Senjanovc et al. [33], n the paper the modfed Mndln theory s used for the constructon of the dynamc stffness matrx, the flexblty matrx, and the transfer matrx of a thck plate smply supported at two opposte edges. They presented natural frequences and modes of panel Mndln plates. S et al. [16] studed vbraton analyss of rectangular plates wth one or more guded edges va bcubc B-splne method, Cen et al. [34] developped a new hgh performance quadrlateral element for analyss of thck and thn plates. Ths dstngushng character of the new element s that all formulatons are expressed n the quadrlateral area co-ordnate system. Shen et al. [35] studed free and forced vbraton of Ressner-Mndln plates wth free edges restng on elastc foundatons. Woo et al. [36] found accurate natural frequences and mode shapes of skew plates wth and wthout cutouts by p- verson fnte element method usng ntegrals of Legendre polynomal for p=1-14. Qan et al. [37] studed free and forced vbratons of thck rectangular plates usng hgher-order shear and normal deformable plate theory and meshless Petrov-Galarkn method. Özdemr and Ayvaz [38] studed shear lockng free earthquake analyss of thck and thn plates usng Mndln s theory. GuangPeng et al. [39] studed free vbraton analyss of plates on Wnkler elastc foundaton by boundary element method. Fallah et. al. [4] analyzed free vbraton of moderately thck rectangular FG plates on elastc foundaton wth varous combnatons of smply supported and clamed boundary condtons. Governng equatons of moton were obtaned based on the Mndln plate theory. Jahrom et al. [41] analyzed free vbraton analyss of Mndln plates partally restng on Pasternak foundaton. The governng equatons whch consst of a system of partal dfferental equatons are obtaned based on the frst-order shear deformaton theory. Özgan and Daloğlu [42] studed free vbraton analyss of thck plates on elastc foundatons usng modfed Vlasov model wth hgher order fnte elements, also same wrters [43] studed the effects of varous parameters such as the aspect rato, subgrade reacton modulus and thckness/span rato on the frequency parameters of thck plates restng on Wnkler elastc foundatons. The purpose of ths paper s to study free vbraton analyss of thck plates restng on Wnkler foundaton usng Mndln s theory wth second order fnte element, to determne the effects of the thckness/span rato, the aspect rato, subgrade reacton modulus and the boundary condtons on the frequency paramerets of thck plates subjected to free vbraton. A computer program usng fnte element method s coded n C++ to analyze the plates free, clamped or smply supported along all four edges. In the program, the fnte element method s used for spatal ntegraton. Fnte element formulaton of the equatons of the thck plate theory s derved by usng hgher order dsplacement shape functons. In the analyss, 8-noded fnte element s used to construct the stffness and mass matrces of the thck and thn plates [27]. 2.

Thus the total energy of the plate-sol system can be wrtten as; 1 T e e U e = w e k p k w w e d A (7) 2 where w w... w T e 1 y1 x1 n yn xn (8) Assumng that n the plate of Fg. 1 u and v are proportonal to z and that w s the ndependent of z [21], one can wrte the plate dsplacement at an arbtrary x, y, z n terms of the two slopes and a dsplacement as follows; u ={w, v, u}={w (x,y,t), zφ y (x,y,t), -zφ x (x,y,t)} (9) where w s average dsplacement of the plate, and φ x and φ y are the bendng slopes n the x and y drectons, respectvely.

Data for numercal examples In the lght of the results gven n references [27, 28, 38], the aspect ratos, b/a, of the plate are taken to be 1, 1.5, and 2.. The thckness/span ratos, t/a, are taken as.1,.5,.1,.2, and.3 for each aspect rato. The shorter span length of the plate s kept constant to be 1 m. The mass densty, Posson s rato, and the modulus of elastcty of the plate are taken to be 2.5 kn s 2 /m 2,.2, and 2.7x1 7 kn/m 2. Shear factor k s taken to be 5/6. The subgrade reacton modulus of the Wnkler-type foundaton s taken to be 5 and 5 kn/m 3. For the sake of accuracy n the results, rather than startng wth a set of a fnte element mesh sze, the mesh sze requred to obtan the desred accuracy were determned before presentng any results. Ths analyss was performed separately for the mesh sze. It was concluded that the results have acceptable error when equally spaced 4x4 mesh sze for 17-noded elements are used for a 1 m x 1 m plate. Length of the elements n the x and y drectons are kept constant for dfferent aspect ratos as n the case of square plate. In order to llustrate that the mesh densty used n ths paper s enough to obtan correct results, the frst sx frequency parameters of the thck plate wth b/a=1 and t/a=.5 s presented n Table 1 by comparng wth the result obtaned SAP2 program and the results Özgan and Daloğlu [215]. In ths study Özgan and Daloğlu used 4-noded and 8-noded quadrlateral fnte element wth 1x1 and 5x5 mesh sze. It should be noted that the results presented for MT8 element are obtaned by usng equally spaced 2x2, 4x4 and 8x8 mesh szes. As seen from Table 1, the results obtaned by usng 8-noded quadrlateral fnte element have excellent agreement wth the results obtaned by Özgan and Daloğlu [215] and SAP2 even f 2x2 mesh sze s used for MT8 element. 3.2. Results The frst sx frequency parameters of thck plate restng on Wnkler foundaton wth free edges are compared wth the same thck plate modeled by Ozgan and Daloğlu (21) and SAP2 program and t s presented n Table1. The subgrade reacton modulus of the Wnklertype foundaton for ths example s taken to be 5 kn/m 3. Ths thck plate s modeled wth MT8 element 8x8 mesh sze for b/a=1., t/a=.5 ratos. As seen from Tables 1, the values of the frequency parameters of these analyses are so close even f ths study mesh sze s so poor. And also SAP2 analyss made by frst order fnte element, wrter s use second order fnte element as before explaned. Then wrters enlarged parameters of aspect rato, b/a, thckness/span rato, t/a, for help the researchers. The frst sx frequency parameters of thck plates restng on Wnkler foundaton consdered for dfferent aspect rato, b/a, thckness/smaller span rato, t/a, are presented n Table 2 for the wth free edges, n Table 3 for thck clamped plates. In order to see the effects of the changes n these parameters better on the frst sx frequency parameters, they are also presented n Fgs 3-4 for the thck free plates, n Fgs 5-6 for the thck clamped plates. 197

Ths also shows that the curves of the frequency parameters wll almost concde wth each other when the value of the rato of b/a ncreases more. In other words, up to the 3 rd ferquency parameters, the ncrease n the t/a rato wll not affect the frequency parameters after a determned value of t/a. After the 3 rd ferquency parameters, the ncrease n the b/a rato wll not affect the frequency parameters after a determned value of b/a. As seen from Tables 2, and 3, and Fgures. 3, and 4, the values of the frequency parameters for a constant value of t/a decrease as the aspect rato, b/a, ncreases. Ths behavor s understandable n that a thck plate wth a larger aspect rato becomes more flexble and has smaller frequency parameters. The decreases n the frequency parameters wth ncreasng value of b/a rato gets less for a constant value of t/a. As seen from Tables 3, and Fgures. 4,, the values of the frequency parameters for a constant value of b/a ncrease as the thckness/span rato, t/a, ncreases.

In ths study, the mode shapes of the thck plates are also obtaned for all parameters consdered. Snce presentaton of all of these mode shapes would take up excessve space, only the mode shapes correspondng to the sx lowest frequency parameters of the thck plate free, clamped along all four edges for b/a = 1 and t/a =.5 are presented. These mode shapes are gven n Fgures 5, and 6, respectvely. In order to make the vsblty better, the mode shapes are plotted wth exaggerated ampltudes. As seen from these fgures, the number of half wave ncreases as the mode number ncreases. It should be noted that appearances of the mode shapes not gven here for the thck plates clamped along all four edges are smlar to those of the mode shapes presented here. 23

CONCLUSIONS The purpose of ths paper was to study parametrc free vbraton analyss of thck plates usng hgher order fnte elements wth Mndln s theory and to determne the effects of the thckness/span rato, the aspect rato and the boundary condtons on the lnear responses of thck plates subjected to vbraton. As a result, free vbraton analyze of the thck plates were done by usng p verson serendpty element, and the coded program on the purpose s effectvely used. In addton, the followng conclusons can also be drawn from the results obtaned n ths study. The frequency parameters ncreases wth ncreasng b/a rato for a constant value of t/a up to the 3 rd ferquency parameters, but after that the frequency parameters decrases wth ncreasng b/a rato for a constant value of t/a. The frequency parameters decreases wth ncreasng t/a rato for a constant value of b/a up to the 3 rd ferquency parameters, but after that the frequency parameters ncreases wth ncreasng t/a rato for a constant value of b/a. The effects of the change n the t/a rato on the frequency parameter of the thck plate are generally larger than those of the change n the b/a ratos consdered n ths study. REFERENCES [1] Ugural A.C.
