3 Deflection and Moments for a Plate-Bending

Finite Element
Objective
To find the deflection and moments for plate-bending finite element due to a pressure load.
Reference
Simple hand calculation by considering the entire structure as a cantilever beam.
Problem
A simple cantilever plate is divided into 12 4-noded finite elements. A uniform pressure load is
applied and the maximum deflection at the tip of the cantilever and the maximum bending at the
support are calculated.
Figure 3-1: Finite element mesh of cantilevered plate.
Given
Plate thickness = 25 mm
Uniform pressure= 5 N/mm 2
Plate length = 6 spaces at 50 mm = 300 mm
Plate width = 2 space at 50 mm = 100 mm
Hand Calculation
Max. deflection = WL3/8EI
Where:
WL3/8EI = [(5 300 100) (300)3] / [8 (210 103N/mm2)x(100 253/12)] = (405 1010)
/ (21,875 107) = 18.51 mm
Max. moment = WL/2 = (5 300 100) 300/2 = 22.5(10)6Nmm = 22.5 KNm

Objective
A rigid bar is suspended by two copper wires and one steel wire. Find the stresses in the wires due
to a rise in temperature.
Reference
Timoshenko, S., Strength of Materials, Part 1, D. Van Nostrand Co., 3rd edition, 1956, page 30,
problem 9.
Problem
Assuming the horizontal member to be very rigid, determine the stresses in the copper and steel
wires if the temperature rise is 10 F.
Figure 11-1: Model of a rigid wire suspended by wires
Given
E
steel
steel
= 30E6 psi, E
copper

A = 0.1 in2
X
w = 400 lbf/in.
L = 20 in.
d= 5 in.
Hint: When modeling, assume a large moment of inertia for the horizontal rigid member and
distribute of the concentrated load as uniform.

Purpose
Compare theoretical answers to the STAAD solution.
Reference
Timoshenko, S., Vibration Problems in Engineering, Third Edition, D. Van Nostrand Company,
Inc., 1955, page 322
Problem
The first five natural frequencies and the associated mode shapes are computed for the flexural
motion of a simply supported beam.
Figure 15-1: Simple beam diagram
Model
Figure 15-2: Finite element model
The simply supported beam is divided into twenty spanwise beam elements. At nodes 1 and 21, all
degrees of freedom except the rotation about the Z axis are restrained. For the remaining nodes,
only the translation along Y and the rotation about Z are permitted. Both shear deformation and
rotary inertia have been excluded from the model. The mass matrix is a diagonal matrix.
Cross-section Properties
Rectangular Section: 1 inch Width x 2 inch Depth
Area = 2 in2
J = b3a/16 {16/3 - 3.36(b/a)[1 - 1/12(b/a)4]}
where
a=2
b=1
J = 0.4578 inch4
I = 1x23/12 inch4

I = 2x13/12 inch4

Theoretical Results
The natural bending frequencies, for a uniform beam with hinged ends, are given by:
f = n2/212(EIg/A)1/2
n
where
f = natural frequency for mode n, in cycles per second
n
l = span of the beam

E = elastic modulus
I = cross-section moment of inertia
g = gravitational constant
A = cross-section area
= weight density
The parameters used in the frequency equation are:
l = 20 inches
E = 10x106 psi
I = 0.6667 inches4
g = 386.4 inches per second 2
A = 2.0 sq. inches
= 0.1 pounds per cubic inch
from which:
f = n2x 445.685674
n
The table below shows the natural frequencies computed from the theoretical equation and the
subspace iteration method available within STAAD. Frequencies are in cycles per second.

Purpose
Reference
Blevins, Robert D., Formulas for Natural Frequency and Mode Shape, Van Nostrand Reinhold
Company, 1979, Page 240.
Problem
A flat circular plate is simply supported around the entire perimeter. The first six modes and
their associated natural frequencies are to be computed using the subspace iteration method
offered by STAAD. This problem demonstrates that the natural frequencies of an axi-symmetric
structure can be accurately computed utilizing a 180 degree model with the appropriate boundary
conditions.
Figure 16-1: Diagram of circular plate
Model
The 180 degree sector was modeled using radial lines at intervals of 15 degrees. Tangential lines
were then located utilizing a relationship such that the aspect ratio of the quad-plate elements
was approximately 1.0. All rotations normal to the plane of the plate were restrained. In-plane
translations for all nodes were restrained because the theoretical solution does not consider inplane effects. Rotations about the global Y axis for the nodes at X=0.0 were restrained because this
is a symmetry boundary. Z translation of all nodes on the outside radius were restrained to
provide for the simply-supported condition.
95 STAAD.Pro
Figure 16-2: Finite model for half circular plate
It should be noted that the outside edge of the plate is a series of secant lines instead of a true
arc. This will result in a loss of about 1% of the plates true mass or about .5% of the mass that is
effective for this problem.
Therefore, it is not unlikely that a few natural frequencies will be lower than the theoretical values
instead of higher which is typical for a finite element analysis using plate elements. In addition, a
true simple-support condition for this problem would require restraining the component of
rotation that is radial to the outside edge.
Theoretical Answers
From the reference case 2 in Table 11-1, the first six natural frequencies of the plate are described by
the following equation:
fij =
ij2
2 a
Eh3

12 1 2

*The reference did not tabulate a value of for the fifth mode of the structure, hence a comparison
with the theoretical value of this mode cannot be made.
Discussion
All anti-symmetric mode shapes for the 360 degree circular plate were captured by the 180 degree
model with a phase angle included in the calculation. Some of the difference between the
theoretical and STAAD frequencies is attributed to the loss of mass due to the piecewise secant
representation of the outer radius and, since this mass is about 1 percent lower than for a true
circular plate, it is not surprising that the first few modes are lower than the theoretical solution.

Purpose
Reference
Blevins, Robert D., Formulas for Natural Frequency and Mode Shape, Van Nostrand Reinhold
Company, 1979, page 258.
Problem
A flat rectangular plate is simply supported on all four sides. The first six modes and their
associated natural frequencies are to be computed for this structure using the subspace iteration
method offered by STAAD. This problem also demonstrates that the mesh refinement can be
chosen to accurately calculate modes of interest based on the expected mode shapes.
Figure 17-1: Simply supported, rectangular plate
L = 45 in., W = 30 in., t = 0.2 in.
Model
A plate with an aspect ratio of 1.5 was used so that comparison could be made with theoretical
results tabulated for plates in the reference. An equally spaced mesh was utilized in both the x and
the y dimensions of the plate. The number of elements in each dimension was determined on the
basis of the highest mode of interest. Since the number of half-waves in the sixth mode is 3 in
the length dimension and 2 in the width dimension, a node spacing of 3.75 inches results in each
half- wave being represented by four elements which means that no element will be expected to
deform in double curvature. The simply supported edge condition requires that translation
normal to the plane of the plate be restrained for these edge nodes. Rotations normal to the plate
were restrained for all nodes.
Figure 17-2: Model: finite element meshed
Theoretical Answers
From the reference case 16 in Table 11-4, the first six natural frequencies of the plate are described
by the following equations:
fij =

2 a
Eh3

= dimensionless parameter associated with the mode indices i, j

i = number of half-waves in this mode shape along the horizontal axis
j = number of half-waves in this mode shape along the vertical axis

E = elastic modulus
h = plate thickness
= mass of material per unit area
a = length of plate

Discussion
As was noted earlier, the node spacing was based on the highest mode of interest. It follows that
the difference between the theoretical and STAAD frequencies generally increases with increasing
mode sequence.

Purpose
Compare the results from STAAD's subspace iteration method with the results from EASE2 and
ANSYS.
Reference
1. Problem 1, from the ASME 1972 Program Verification and Qualification Library
2. DeSalvo, G.J., and Swanson, J.A., ANSYS Engineering Analysis System Examples Manual,
Swanson Analysis Systems, Inc., 1979, Example Problem No. 2.
3. Peterson, F.E., EASE2 Elastic Analysis for Structural Engineering Example Problem
Manual, Engineering Analysis Corporation, 1981, Example 2.03.
Problem
A three dimensional frame is analyzed for its natural frequencies and the associated mode shapes
using the subspace iteration method offered by STAAD.
Figure 18-1: Frame model
All dimensions are in inches.
Model
The only entity present in the model is the general purpose three dimensional beam.
Cross-section Properties
All the beam elements have the same cross section:
Outside radius, Ro = 1.1875 in.
Inside radius, Ri = 1.0335 in.
Area = (Ro2 - Ri2) = 1.074532 in2
Moment of Inertia, I = /4(Ro4 - Ri4)
I = 0.665747 in4
Torsion constant = twice the inertia, for closed circular sections = 1.331494 in4
The expression for the shear flexibility factor is derived from the ratio of maximum shear stress to
the average shear stress:
= AQ/Ib
Where the four items A, Q, I, and b are properties of the half cross-section about the centerline.
For the circular section they are:
A = /2(Ro2 - Ri2)
Q = 2/3(Ro3 - Ri3)
I = /8(Ro4 - Ri4)
I = 2(Ro - Ri)
The final expression for the shear flexibility factor, for a circular tube section is:
AQ
Ib
R o R i3
4
2
3 R o R i2 R o R i
)(
= 1.993620
Hence the shear area is entered as
AY = Cross Section Area / = 1.074532 / 1.99362 = 0.538985 in2

19 Response of a Simply Supported Beam to a

Shock Spectrum
Purpose
Reference
1. Biggs, John M., Introduction to Structural Dynamics, McGraw Hill, 1964, pp. 256-263
2. Blevins, Robert D., Formulas for Natural Frequency and Mode Shape, Van NostrandReinhold, 1979.
Problem
The supports of a simply supported beam are subjected to an acceleration time history. The
maximum bending moment in the beam is computed for the first mode of the structure. This
problem demonstrates the capabilities of STAAD to calculate the correct modal response of a
structure utilizing response spectrum data.
Figure 19-1: Simple span beam
Model
The STAAD model consists of 11 nodes and 10 elastic beam elements. Node 1 is completely
restrained with the exception of having rotational freedom in the Z direction, the remaining nodes
are restrained except for X and Y displacements and Z rotations. Node 11 is additionally restrained
against displacements in the Y direction to provide for the simple support condition . Only the
contribution of the first mode of the structure is considered.
Theoretical Solution
Material Properties
L = 240.0 inches
E = 30 x 106 lb/in2
EI = 1.0 x 1010 lb-in2
m = 0.2 lb-sec2 / in2
h = 14.0 in.
From Reference 2, Table 8-1, page 108, the fundamental frequency of the beam is:

fi =
i
2 2
EI
m
9.869
2 (240) 2
1.0(10)

= 6.098hz
The modal participation factor for the fundamental mode is:

1
0 m(x ) d x
1
2
0 m (x ) d x
Where the first mode shape, (x) = sin(x/1)

=

The maximum relative modal displacement is given by:

A
max
= u 0
max
Where:
u0
max
= y'' /2(DLF)
so
- 2*6.098Hz
y''
so
122 STAAD.Pro
= 1.0g
max
(DLF)
max
= 1.648 at 6.098 Hz
therefore:
A
max
= 4(1.648)(386.4)/[(2)2(6.098)2] = 0.5523 in.
The bending moment

M = -EI2u/(x2)
Where u for the first mode= A sin(x/l)
2u/(x2) = - 2/l2Asin(x/l)
M = AEI( 2/l2)sin(x/l)
M
max
=A
EI( 2/l2)
max
at x = l/2
M
max
= 1(10)10(0.5523) 2/(2402) = 946.351(10)3 lbin
at x=l/2

20 Thermal Loading on a Simply Supported

Rectangular Plate
Purpose
Reference
Timoshenko, S., and Woinowsky-Krieger, S., Theory of Plates and Shells, Second Edition,
McGraw-Hill, 1959, pages 162 - 165.
Problem
A rectangular plate is simply supported on all four sides. The transverse and longitudinal bending
moments as well as the deflections at several points on the plate are computed.
Figure 20-1: Rectangular plate model
L = 12 in., W = 16 in.
Model
The plate is modeled using 1 in. X 1 in. size elements. At the corner nodes, all the degrees of
freedom are considered restrained. For the nodes along the four edges, rotation is permitted about
that edge.
From the Reference, equation (j), the expression for deflection normal to the plate surface is:
w=
t (1 + )4
3h
m = 1, 3, 5
mx
sin
cosh
my

cosh m
where
= mb/(2a)
From the Reference, equation (k), the expressions for bending moment per unit width are
Mx =
My =
4Dt (1 2)
h
t (1 2) D
h
m = 1, 3, 5
sin
4Dt (1 2)
h
mx
cosh
my
m cosh m
m = 1, 3, 5
sin
mx
cosh
my
m cosh m
Where:
= Coefficient of Thermal Expansion
t = Difference between the temperatures of the upper and lower surfaces of the plate
= Poissons ratio
h = Plate thickness
a = Dimension of the plate along the x1 axis
b = Dimension of the plate along the x2 axis
E = Elastic Modulus
D = Eh3/[12(1 - 2)
= 12.0E-06 / F
t = 450 F
= 0.3
h = 0.3 in.
a = 12 in.
b = 16 in.
E= 10.0E6 psi

At Load Step 3
Equation of elastic deflection at cantilever tip
= PL3/3EI +PL/GAv
z
P = 57.837 kip, l = 24 in, E = 29000 ksi, I = 138.0 in4, G = 11154 ksi, Av = 10.4323 in2
Thus elastic deformation
= [57.837 x 243 / (3 x 29000 x 138)] + [57.837 x 24 / (11154 x 10.4323)] = 0.066 +

z elastic
0.012 = 0.078 inch
At Load Step 14
Equation of elastic deflection at cantilever tip
= PL3/3EI +PL/GAv
z
P = 79.32 kip, l = 24 inch, E = 29000 ksi, I = 138.0 inP4, G = 11154 ksi, Av = 10.4323 in2
Thus elastic deformation at cantilever tip
= [79.32 x 243 / (3 x 29000 x 138)] + [79.32 x 24 / (11154 x 10.4323)] = 0.091 +

z elastic
0.016 = 0.107 inch
Plastic rotation = 0.04 radian.
Since STAAD.Pro assumes small displacements (sin = ), plastic deformation at cantilever tip
z plastic
= l x = 24 x 0.04 = 0.96 inch
Total deflection =
z elastic
z plastic
= 0.107 + 0.96 = 1.067 inch

22 Fixed Fixed Beam Excited by Harmonic

Distributed Load
Objective
To calculate the deflections at two points along the beam at steady-state condition.
Reference

1979, pp 108, 455-486.

Problem
Determine the steady-state displacements of the quarter and mid-span points of a fixed-fixed beam
subjected to a parabolically varying distributed load operating at a 7.5 Hz frequency.
Figure 22-1: Beam with harmonic distributed load
Figure 22-2: Model: divide span 20@10.0
Given
E = 10.0x106 psi
L = 200 inches
I = 2/3 in4
A = 2 in2
P = 0.1 lbf/in3
o
g = 386.4 in/sec2
The DYNRE2 run utilizes all 19 modes calculated by STAAD (Steady State analysis) for which a
value of 1.0(10)-10 times critical damping is assigned. A single forcing frequency equal to 7.5 Hz is
specified for the distributed load. This load is distributed to the nodes by calculating the total
integrated load for each beam and lumping one-half of this force to the respective i and j nodes.
