1. INTRODUCTION
The paper aims to calculate the natural frequencies and
accompanying mode shapes of the plate which are the key
parameters when considering noise and acoustic
parameters. To determine these parameters modal analysis
will be used.
Vibration problems are often occurred in mechanical
structure. It is important to prevent such problems because
it can cause structures damage by fatigue. The structure
itself has a certain properties so it is necessary to
understand its characteristics. In this work a modal analysis
by finite element method is used.
The main purpose of modal analysis is to study the dynamic
properties of structures like natural frequency and mode
shapes. This can also be used for some purposes such as,
troubleshooting i.e. direct insight into the root cause of
vibration problems, find structural flexibility properties
quickly to monitor incremental structural changes, design
optimization-designaccordingtonoiseandvibrationtargets,
enhance performance and reduce component and overall
vibration & fast, test based evaluation of redesign for
dynamics etc.
So it is important to determine dynamic properties of a
square plate of mild steel material. First the modal analysis
of a square plate is done by finite element analysis software
method.
Modal analysis is a method of determining the natural
acoustic characteristics or dynamic response of materials.
The analysis involves imposing an excitation into the
structure and finding the frequencies at which the structure
resonates (when the excitation and vibration response
match). A typical modal analysis will return multiple
frequencies each with an accompanying displacement field
which the structure experiencing at that frequency. Each
frequency is known as mode and displacement field is
known as mode shape.
In this work the free vibration responses of a square mild
steel plate with different circular cut outs at the centre and
subjected to different boundary conditions is tabulated and
analyzed.
2. PROBLEM MODELING
Square plate with circular cut out Various sizes of centrally
located circular cut outs are considered in order to examine
the effect of cut out size on the natural frequency of the
square plate. The plate has thickness of 5mm. The material
properties of the plate are given in Table 1.

from 0.0 to 0.6 in steps of 0.25. Plate geometries for plates
with cut out ratio 0.0, 0.125, 0.375, 0.625 are shown in Fig 1

CONCLUSION
The finite element formulation is used to study effect of cut
out on the free vibration of Mild steel plate. The numerical
results are presented and discussed in above. The broad
conclusions that can be made from the present study are
summarized as follows:
The fundamental natural frequencychangesonlymarginally
if a small cut out (either of the two cut out ratiosbeingsmall)
is made in the plate. However, for intermediate and large
size cut outs, the fundamental natural frequency increases
rapidly; the amount of increase depends on cut out ratios in
two directions.
For square plate with circular cut out, the natural frequency
increases with the increasing constraint at the boundary
irrespective of the size of the cut out. However, this increase
is not uniform; it is also dependent on the particularmodeof
vibration.
For square plate with circular cut out, an increase in cut out
size does not always result in an increase in the natural
frequency. Besides depending on the cut out size, the
increase or decrease also depends on the boundary
condition.
Hence depending upon the natural frequencyrequiredofthe
given component we can give the support to the system so
that there will not be any resonance during the operating
conditions.
Hence the required geometry of the componentcanbemade
use without causing resonance by making use of different
boundary conditions.

First the modal analysis of a square plate is done by finite element analysis software method. Modal analysis is a method of determining the natural acoustic characteristics or dynamic response of materials. The analysis involves imposing an excitation into the structure and finding the frequencies at which the structure resonates (when the excitation and vibration response match). A typical modal analysis will return multiple frequencies each with an accompanying displacement field which the structure experiencing at that frequency. Each frequency is known as mode and displacement field is known as mode shape. In this work the free vibration responses of a square mild steel plate with different circular cut outs at the centre and subjected to different boundary conditions is tabulated and analyzed. 2. PROBLEM MODELING Square plate with circular cut out Various sizes of centrally located circular cut outs are considered in order to examine the effect of cut out size on the natural frequency of the square plate. The plate has thickness of 5mm. The material properties of the plate are given in Table 1. The cut out ratio (i.e. d/a) along x-axis and y-axis is varied from 0.0 to 0.6 in steps of 0.25. Plate geometries for plates with cut out ratio 0.0, 0.125, 0.375, 0.625 are shown in Fig 1 0 800 300 Figure 1: Geometry of the plate 100 500300 800 1 2 3 4

CONCLUSION The finite element formulation is used to study effect of cut out on the free vibration of Mild steel plate. The numerical results are presented and discussed in above. The broad conclusions that can be made from the present study are summarized as follows: The fundamental natural frequencychangesonlymarginally if a small cut out (either of the two cut out ratiosbeingsmall) is made in the plate. However, for intermediate and large size cut outs, the fundamental natural frequency increases rapidly; the amount of increase depends on cut out ratios in two directions. For square plate with circular cut out, the natural frequency increases with the increasing constraint at the boundary irrespective of the size of the cut out. However, this increase is not uniform; it is also dependent on the particularmodeof vibration. For square plate with circular cut out, an increase in cut out size does not always result in an increase in the natural frequency. Besides depending on the cut out size, the increase or decrease also depends on the boundary condition. Hence depending upon the natural frequencyrequiredofthe given component we can give the support to the system so that there will not be any resonance during the operating conditions. Hence the required geometry of the componentcanbemade use without causing resonance by making use of different boundary conditions. REFERENCES [1]. Ramu I and Mohanty S. C.
