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.
 
Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
TL;DR Summary: Heard in the news about using sonar to locate the sub Hello : After the sinking of the ship near the Greek shores , carrying of alot of people , there was another accident that include 5 tourists and a submarine visiting the titanic , which went missing Some technical notes captured my attention, that there us few sonar devices are hearing sounds repeated every 30 seconds , but they are not able to locate the source Is it possible that the sound waves are reflecting from...
