Vibration analysis - thin circular plate

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on analyzing vibration issues related to a thin circular carbon steel disc supported by a vertical ring. The individual seeks guidance on reading materials to refresh their knowledge in vibration analysis after a long hiatus. They aim to mathematically model the system to explore design options, noting significant peaks in transmissibility below 30Hz. The goal includes defining vertical displacement at the center of the discs and utilizing experimental approaches like Chladni patterns to investigate vibrational modes. This inquiry highlights the intersection of theoretical knowledge and practical application in engineering design.

I'm moving on to a new area of focus at work and have found myself analysing a vibration issue. I've had the basics a BSME gets you at an accredited university (20 yrs ago), but am rusty to say the least. I'm looking for guidance on good reading materials to knock the rust off.

My problem is as follows. I'm trying to mathematically mimic a real life system so I can proceed with design options.

A thin (.060) circular carbon steel (galvanized) disc, supported at the edges around the circumference by a vertical ring (not welded, just metal interference above and below along the edges). Diameters of 10"-30".

Peaks in transmissibility below 30Hz of 14:1 in sweeps (more than double in dwells at peak frequency).

I'm ultimately trying to mathematically define vertical displacement at the center of the discs.

I would approach this experimentally. Look at the modes using Chladni patterns.
 
Thanks PietKuip.
 
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
