Free thin square plate with in-plane motion constrained — rigid-body mode filtering and repeated eigenvalues in shell elements.

Tolerance:
5%

Problem statement

Geometry
Free thin square plate, modeled with an 8×8 CQUAD4 (shell) mesh.
Material
Steel: E = 200 GPa, ν = 0.3, ρ = 8000 kg/m³.
Boundary conditions
In-plane motion constrained at all nodes: x-translation, y-translation, and z-rotation fixed; otherwise free (unsupported) plate.
Measured quantity
First physical frequencies after the three rigid-body modes, modes 4-9: 1.622, 2.360, 2.922, 4.233, 4.233, 7.416 Hz; mode 10 is a higher-order-estimate (HOE) target of 7.392 Hz, not a closed-form value.
