Abstract
A modified method of the classical initial value technique is presented for the free vibration analysis of rectangular orthotropic plates. The method employs finite difference operators in one direction and uses integration in the other direction. The solutions are superimposed to satisfy the boundary conditions. A detailed discussion of the method is given. A comparative study is presented of the initial value method and other numerical methods. Three examples that show the accuracy of the method are presented.
