Abstract This paper presents the multipole Trefftz method to derive an analytical model describing the free vibration of a circular plate with multiple circular holes. Based on the addition theorem, the solution of multipoles centered at each circle can be expressed in terms of multipoles centered at one circle, where boundary conditions are specified. In this way, a coupled infinite system of simultaneous linear algebraic equations is derived for the circular plate with multiple holes. The direct searching approach is employed in the truncated finite system to determine the natural frequencies by using the singular value More >
