Type: article
Abstract: The study examined the dynamic deflection characteristic of a plate which is subjected to a pair of inertia distributed loads, moving with variable velocities and in opposite direction was investigated. The model was formulated based on the thin plate theory. The governing equation obtained for the behavior of the model was reduced from a partial differential equation to an ordinary differential equation using a series solution for the dynamic deflection in terms of the normal modes. The reduced ODE was solved using chebyshev collocation method, result obtained was presented in graphical form.
