Abstract

In this study, the dynamic behaviour of orthotropic type of plate, without loading but with effect of damping, was analysed. The mathematical model governing such phenomenon was evaluated using finite sine integral transform method. Analytical approach was adopted throughout the study. Numerical examples were, however, carried out and it was observed that the present method is very simple to apply and performed well for the type of plate considered in this study, going by its efficiency. The results obtained are consistent with the ones in the literature. The finite integral transform is an easy method to use.
