Abstract

We study transverse vibrations of an inhomogeneous circular thin plate in this work. Using the perturbation method, asymptotic formulas are obtained for free-vibration frequencies of a plate whose thickness and Young’s modulus linearly depend on radius. The effect of the boundary conditions on frequencies and the behavior of frequencies for a plate with the fixed mass are analyzed. For lower frequencies of the plate, the asymptotic results are compared with the results of analysis by finite elements.
