Abstract
The vibration characteristics of stepped thickness plates of rectangular geometry with simply supported edges are investigated through an exact analysis. To illustrate the effect of sudden variation of thickness in the step form on the dynamic characteristics of plates, numerical calculations have been made for various combinations of thickness step, step-length ratio and side ratio. Natural frequencies for the first eight to nine modes are presented in the form of tables. Nodal lines are also plotted for a few selected cases. Several interesting features such as that of the thickness step splitting the degenerate frequencies of uniform rectangular plates into distinct ones, and the 'frequency crossing' of some of the modes are observed.
