ABSTRACT: Free vibration analysis of the isotropic skew plate with three supporting conditions (CCCC, CFCF
and FCFC) were studied. ANSYS APDL version 17.2. with two-dimensional model (SHELL281 element) and
three-dimensional model (SOLID186 element) were adopted. The effects of width-thickness ratio (a/t), aspect
ratio (a/b), mode number, skew angle and supporting conditions on the first five natural frequencies were
investigated. The results showed that the non-dimensional fundamental frequency coefficients (Kf) increases
when the skew angle at any aspect ratio (a/b) , mode number and supporting type. Also, the effect of skew angle
appears sharply when the skew edges are clamped (i.e. CCCC and CFCF) while in when the skew edge is free ,
the effect of skew angle is not appear . Finally, the comparison between the two elements (SHELL281 and
SOLID186) shows that there is a good agreement between them when the skew angle is smaller than 60o and the
mode number is smaller than fourth mode.

INTRODUCTION
The skew plates have wide range of applications in civil, marine, aeronautical and mechanical engineering. It can
be found in alignment problems in design of bridges, swept wings of aero-planes, parallelogram slabs in
constructions and ship hulls. Therefore, several methods were used to analyze the vibration of skew plate. Most
of the literature dealt with the vibration of skew plate are based on inexact methods. Vibration characteristics of
skew plates were studied by several researches using approximate or numerical methods like FEM, Rayleigh-Ritz
method, series method, etc. The earlier studies on free vibration characteristics of skew plates were obtained by
Barton [1], Kaul and Cadambe [2] and Hasegawa [3], using Rayleigh-Ritz method. The Lagrangian-multiplier
method was utilized by Hamada [4] to calculate the Natural frequency of the rhombic skew plate. Claassen [5]
adopted a Fourier sine series solution scheme in conjunction with the Rayleigh-Ritz method to extend the work
of Barton [1].
Conway and Farnham [6] considered the free vibration of three shapes of plates (triangular, rhombic and
parallelogram plates) by employing the point matching method. They calculated the frequencies of skew plate
types for different skew angles of clamped and simply supported boundary conditions. Laura and Grosson [7]
applied conformal mapping and Galerkin’s method to calculate natural frequencies for vibration of simply
supported rhombic plates. They compared their results with Conway and Farnham [6] and they found that the
difference between the two results increased with the increasing of the angle skew plate. Monforton [8] employed
FEM to obtain natural frequencies of clamped rhombic plates. Durvasula [9] adopted Galerkin’s method to find
the frequencies and mode shapes of clamped skew plates. He expressed the deflection function as a double series
of beam characteristic functions in terms of skew coordinates to satisfy zero deflection and normal slope on all
the edges. He also compared his results with the results of Kaul and Cadambe [2], Hasegawa [3] and Conway and
Farnham [6].
Frequencies of orthotropic and isotropic of skew plates were reported by Nair and Durvasula [10]. Simply
supported, clamped and free edge supporting conditions were adopted as well as the combination of these three
boundary conditions. Srinivasan and Ramachandran [11] studied variations of frequencies and mode shapes of
orthotropic skew plates utilizing a numerical method. Kuttler and Sigillito [12] solved vibration problem of skew
plates using trial function method. Mizusuwa et al. (13,14), Mizusuwa and Kajita (15,16) employed the B-spline
functions and Rayleigh-Ritz method of isotropic skew plates to investigate the effect of skew angle and location

on natural frequencies. Bardell [17] calculated natural frequencies and mode shapes of isotropic skew plates
applying the hierarchical finite element method. Liew and Wang [18] calculated the frequency of rhombic plates
using the Rayleigh-Ritz method. They examined the effect of internal support, skew angle and aspect ratio on the
frequency of four rhombic plates with different support conditions. Singh and Chakraverthy [19] implemented
boundary characteristics orthogonal polynomials to find the first five frequencies for the transverse vibration of
skew plates under different boundary conditions. Garg et.al. [20] analyzed the free vibration of isotropic,
orthotropic, and layered anisotropic composite and sandwich skew laminates using iso-parametric finite element
model. Malhotra et al. [21] employed finite element to determine frequency of the rhombic and
parallelogrammical orthotropic plates for various boundary conditions and skew angles. The orthotropic,
anisotropic and laminated skew plates were studied from several researchers at different types of supporting
conditions using different methods [22-32]. In this work, the first five natural frequencies of the skew isotropic
plates with three types of supporting (CCCC, CFCF and FCFC) were investigated applying Finite Element Method
(FEM). ANSYS APDL (version 17.2) was adopted to build two models and these models were two-dimensional
shell model and three-dimensional solid model of skew plate. These two models were used to study the effects
of aspect ratio (a/b), skew angle width-thickness ratio and mode number on the first five natural frequencies.
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
The skew plate is one of the member used in several types of structure. The natural frequency of this type of plates
are affected by different parameters such as skew angle, aspect ratio, supporting type, …etc. The geometry and
dimensions of skew aluminum plate used in this work are illustrated in Figure.1. The mechanical properties of the
skew plate are: Modulus of Elasticity (E)= 71.7*109 N/m2, Poison ratio (ν)=0.33 and Density (ρ) = 2800 kg/m3.
The width of skew plate (a) is (0.3 m) and the aspect ratio of the plate (a/b) is (0.5,0.75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75 and
2). The skew angle (θ) was changed from (0o) to (75o) with step (15o). Three types of boundary conditions were
employed and these conditions are CCCC, CFCF and FCFC starting from left side of the plate.

Finite Element Models (ANSYS Models)
In this work, two finite element models were built using ANSYS APDL version (17.2). The first model is two-
dimensional model and the element (SHELL281) was used in this model (see Figure 2). "SHELL281 is well-
suited for linear, large rotation, and/or large strain nonlinear applications. Change in shell thickness is accounted
for in nonlinear analyses. The element accounts for follower (load stiffness) effects of distributed pressures" [33].
The number of elements in the first model are about (3700- 4000) elements and the number of nodes are about
(11500–14000) nodes. The second model is three-dimensional model and the element (SOLID186) as shown in
Figure.2 was used. "SOLID186 is a higher order 3-D 20-node solid element that exhibits quadratic displacement
behavior. The element is defined by 20 nodes having three degrees of freedom per node: translations in the nodal
x, y, and z directions. The element supports plasticity, hyper elasticity, creep, stress stiffening, large deflection,
and large strain capabilities. It also has mixed formulation capability for simulating deformations of nearly
incompressible elastoplastic materials, and fully incompressible hyper elastic materials" [33]. The number of

elements in the second model are about (275000-300000) elements and the number of nodes are about (550000 –
600000) nodes.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The results of this work were divided into three parts. The first part dealt with the effect of the width–thickness
ratio (a/t) on the non-dimensional fundamental frequency Coefficient (Kf). The second part described a
comparison between the non-dimensional fundamental frequency Coefficient (Kf) values that was calculated by
using elements SHELL281 and SOLID186. The third part described the effect of aspect ratio (a/b), skew angle
and mode number on the non-dimensional fundamental frequency Coefficient (Kf). These results are discussed
below:
Effect of the Width – Thickness Ratio
Figure.3 shows the effect of width–thickness ratio (a/t) on the first six non-dimensional fundamental frequency
Coefficients (Kf) of the CCCC square skew plate. It can be seen that there is no variation in the non-dimensional
fundamental frequency Coefficients (Kf) for the high width-thickness ratio. Same results are shown in Figure.4
and Figure.5 when the supporting conditions are CFCF and FCFC respectively. For low width-thickness ratio, the
variation in variation in the non-dimensional fundamental frequency Coefficients (Kf) increases when the skew
angle increases. Also, when the number of mode increases, the variation in variation in the non-dimensional
fundamental frequency Coefficients (Kf) increases for low width-thickness ratio. From Figures. 3,4 and 5, the
variation of non-dimensional fundamental frequency Coefficient (Kf) due to variation in width-thickness ratio of
CCCC was greater than that of FCFC and CFCF. In other word, the effect of width-thickness ratio on the first six
non-dimensional fundamental frequency Coefficients (Kf) appears at low width-thickness ratio, high skew angle,
high mode number and CCCC supporting.
Effects of aspect ratio (a/b), skew angle and mode number

Figure.6 shows the effect of aspect ratio (a/b) for CCCC skew plate on the first five non-dimensional fundamental
frequency Coefficients (Kf) with different skew angle. From the results, the frequency Coefficient (Kf) increases
when the aspect ratio (a/b) increased for any skew angle and any mode number. Similar behavior is shown in
Figure.7 and Figure.8 for the supporting conditions CFCF and FCFC respectively. From figures (6-8), the non-
dimensional fundamental frequency Coefficient (Kf) increases with increasing the mode number for any skew
angle and aspect ratio (a/b). Finally, Figures.9-11 show the effect of skew angle on the first five non-dimensional
fundamental frequency Coefficients (Kf) for CCCC, CFCF and FCFC skew plate at different aspect ratio (a/b).
From these figures, the following points can be noticed:
(a) The effect of skew angle on the non-dimensional fundamental frequency Coefficient (Kf) in CFCF is
smaller than CCCC and FCFC for any mode number because the supporting edge length in case CFCF
is smaller than CCCC and FCFC.
(b) The effect of skew angle on the non-dimensional fundamental frequency Coefficient (Kf) increases
rapidly when the skew angle larger than 45o because the effect of supporting edge length increases when
the skew angle increases.
(c) The effect of skew angle on the non-dimensional fundamental frequency Coefficient (Kf) increases when
the mode number increased.
(d) The effect of skew angle on the non-dimensional fundamental frequency Coefficient (Kf) increases when
the aspect ratio (a/b) increased.
Comparison between the results of the two- and three-dimensional models.
In order to discover the convergence between SHELL281 and SOLID186, comparison between the first five non-
dimensional fundamental frequency Coefficients (Kf) was done for CCCC, CFCF and FCFC square skew plate as
listed in Table (2). In the first mode, there is a good agreement between the results of the two models when the
skew angle is smaller than 60o for all types of supporting conditions and after 60o, the difference between the non-
dimensional fundamental frequency Coefficient (Kf) of the two models increases. The same behavior can be
noticed in the results of the second, third, fourth and fifth mode. Also, when the number of mode increases, the
difference between the results of the two element increases.
CONCLUSIONS
From the results, the following points can be concluded:
1- At high width–thickness ratio (a/t) , the width–thickness ratio (a/t) does not affect the non-dimensional
fundamental frequency Coefficient (Kf) of the CCCC, CFCF and FCFC skew plates. While, the non-
dimensional fundamental frequency Coefficient (Kf) increases when the width–thickness ratio (a/t)
increases.
2- The non-dimensional fundamental frequency Coefficient (Kf) increases when the aspect ratio (a/b)
increases for any skew angle, mode number and type of supporting.
3- The non-dimensional fundamental frequency Coefficient (Kf) increases when the mode number increases
for any skew angle, aspect ratio (a/b) and type of supporting.
4- The non-dimensional fundamental frequency Coefficient (Kf) increases when the skew angle increases
for any mode number, aspect ratio (a/b) and type of supporting.
5- The effect of skew angle on the non-dimensional fundamental frequency Coefficient (Kf) is small for
CFCF in comparison with CCCC and FCFC for any mode number and mode number. In other word , the
effect of skew angle appears sharply when the skew edges are clamped (i.e. CCCC and CFCF) while in
when the skew edge is free , the effect of skew angle is not appear.
6- The effect of skew angle on the non-dimensional fundamental frequency Coefficient (Kf) is greater than
that of aspect ratio , supporting type and number of mode.

7- There is an excellent agreement between the results of the two-dimensional model (element SHELL281)
and three-dimensional model (element SOLID186) for CCCC, CFCF and FCFC skew plates when the
skew angle and mode number are small.
Finally, the effect of cutout or crack on the fundamental frequencies of isotropic skew plate can studied using the
same models. Also, the free vibration problem of triangular and trapezoidal plates can be studied using the same
finite element models.
