3 A Cantilever Beam: Plate/Shell Elements
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.
GIVEN
Plate thickness = 25 mm
Uniform pressure= 5 N/mm2
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 = [(5x300x100) x (300)3] /

[8x(210x103N/sq.mm)x(100x253/12)] = (405x1010) / (21875x107) =
18.51 mm
Max. moment = WL/2 = (5x300x100)x300/2 = 22.5x106 N.mm =
22.5 KN*m

11 Temperature Load on Rigid Bar Suspended by
Wires of Different Materials
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

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.

16 Natural Frequencies of a Circular Plate

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.
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 in-plane effects. Rotations about the global Y axis for the
nodes at X=0.0 were restrained because this is a symmetry boundary. Z
91 — STAAD.Pro
translation of all nodes on the outside radius were restrained to provide for
the simply-supported condition.
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 plate’s 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:
= dimensionless parameter associated with the mode indices i,j

i = number of nodal diameters in this mode shape
j = number of nodal circles in this mode shape not counting the
boundary
ν = Poisson’s ratio
E = Elastic Modulus
92 — STAAD.Pro
h = plate thickness
γ = mass of plate per unit area
a = radius of plate
The numerical values used for this example are:
ν = 0.30
E = 10.0x10P6P psi
h = 0.10 inches
γ=
a = 10.0 inches

*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.

17 Natural Frequencies of a Rectangular Plate.
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.
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.
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:
= 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
102 — STAAD.Pro
E = elastic modulus
h = plate thickness
γ = mass of material per unit area
a = length of plate
b = width of plate
ν = 0.30
E =30.0x106 psi
h=0.2 inches
a = 45.0 inches
b = 30.0 inches

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.

18 Natural Modes of a Framework
Purpose
Compare the results from STAAD's subspace iteration method with the results
from EASE2 and ANSYS.

Problem
A three dimensional frame is analyzed for its natural frequencies and the
associated mode shapes using the subspace iteration method offered by
STAAD.

Frame
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 = π(Ro2 - Ri2) = 1.074532 in2
Moment of Inertia, I = π/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:
110 — STAAD.Pro
α = 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 = π/2(Ro2 - Ri2)
Q = 2/3(Ro3 - Ri3)
I = π/8(Ro4 - Ri4 )
I = 2(Ro - Ri)
The final expression for the shear flexibility factor, for a circular tube section
is:
α = 1.993620
Hence the shear area is entered as
AY = Cross Section Area / α = 1.074532 / 1.99362 = 0.538985 in2

19 Response of a Simply Supported Beam to a
Shock Spectrum
Purpose
Reference

1964, pp. 256-263
2. Blevins, Robert D.,“ Formulas for Natural Frequency and Mode Shape,”
Van Nostrand-Reinhold, 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.
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.

tangular 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.
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.

20 Thermal Loading on a Simply Supported Rectangular Plate
From the Reference, equation (j), the expression for deflection normal to the
plate surface is:

At Load Step 3
Equation of elastic deflection at cantilever tip
δz = PL3/3EI +PL/GAv
P = 57.837 kip, l = 24 in, E = 29000 ksi, I = 138.0 in4 , G = 11154
ksi, Av = 10.4323 in2
Thus elastic deformation
δz elastic = [57.837 x 243 / (3 x 29000 x 138)] + [57.837 x 24 /
(11154 x 10.4323)] = 0.066 + 0.012 = 0.078 inch

At Load Step 14
Equation of elastic deflection at cantilever tip
δz = PL3/3EI +PL/GAv
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
δz elastic= [79.32 x 243 / (3 x 29000 x 138)] + [79.32 x 24 / (11154 x
10.4323)] = 0.091 + 0.016 = 0.107 inch
Plastic rotation = 0.04 radian.
Since STAAD.Pro assumes small displacements (sinθ = θ), plastic deformation
at cantilever tip
δz plastic = l x θ = 24 x 0.04 = 0.96 inch
Total deflection = δz elastic + δz plastic = 0.107 + 0.96 = 1.067 inch

22 Fixed – Fixed Beam Excited by Harmonic Dis-
tributed Load
OBJECTIVE
To calculate the deflections at 2 points along the beam at steady-state
condition.
REFERENCE
1. Blevins, R. D., “Formulas for natural Frequency and Mode Shape,” Van
Nostrand Reinhold, 1979, pp 108, 455-486.
2. Warburton, G. B., “The Dynamical Behavior of Structures,” Pergamon
Press, 1964, pp. 10-15, 85, 86.
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.
Beam with harmonic distributed load

22 Fixed – Fixed Beam Excited by Harmonic Distributed Load
Model: divide span 20@10.0”
GIVEN
E = 10.0x106 psi
L = 200 inches
I = 2/3 in4
A = 2 in2
Po = 0.1 lbf/in3
g = 386.4 in/sec2
The DYNRE2 run utilities all 19 modes calculated by STAAD (Steady State
analysis) for which a value of 1.0x10-10times 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.
The theoretical solution for this example is taken from:
152 — STAAD.Pro

2. Warburton, G. B., “The Dynamical Behavior of Structures,” Pergamon
Press, 1964, pp. 10-15, 85, 86.
The natural frequencies of the system are calculated using the equations from
reference 1 page 108 and reference 2 page 85.
Where:
m = ρA/g
fi = 4.5156271*10-1λi2
λisatisfies the characteristic equation:

The mode shapes are:
Where

The response of mode i to a harmonic force:
ηi =
Where ψi is the response phase lag relative to the applied force and c is the
damping.
Since c = 0.0, ψi = 0.0
Upon substitution and rearranging terms:
From reference 1, page 466, case c and page 467, case 29:
Since the load is symmetric, this expression is zero for I = 2, 4, 6 …;

Therefore, i = 1,3,5……, and: (-1)i = -1
And from the reference, betai = lambdai/l
So:
From Reference 1, page 457 case 5:
Therefore:
