Abstract :

In this paper, transverse vibrations of thin circular plates with guided edge and resting on Winkler foundation have been studied on the basis of Classical Plate Theory. Parametric investigations on the vibration of circular plates resting on elastic foundation have been carried out with respect to various foundation stiffness parameters. Twelve vibration modes are presented. The location of the stepped region with respect to foundation stiffness parameter is presented.
