The axisymmetric vibration of annular and circular plates, isotropic or polar orthotropic, is analysed by an axisymmetric finite element. The features of the present study are that: (i) the formulation of the finite element is based on elasticity theory and has no assumptions as in the conventional plate theory-based analysis, yet is still simple and ready for use, and (ii) the boundary conditions...
