Vibration of rectilinear plates on Vlasov's foundation at large amplitude (Q1073623)

Berger's dynamic field equations for large deflections of elastic plates have been used to investigate the free vibrations of rectilinear plates in the form of (i) an isosceles right-angled triangle and (ii) an equilateral triangle, resting on single-layered elastic half-space model of Vlasov type (historically, this model is credited to Pasternak). Numerical computations, graphically depicted, bring forth the dominance of shear springs over the compression one of such foundation on the time periods of vibrations of plates considered.
