This lesson covers the vibration of rectangular plates, focusing on the eigen frequencies and eigen shapes of these plates. It delves into the decoupling procedure of the undamped free vibration equation using the mode superposition technique. The lesson also discusses different boundary conditions, such as when a plate is simply supported on all edges, clamped, or free. It further explains the natural frequency and mood shapes of plates with two opposite edges simply supported, known as Labis boundary conditions. The lesson concludes with the solution of an initial value problem with a numerical example.
