Temperature effect on frequencies of a tapered triangular plate

The two dimensional temperature effect on the vibration is computed for the first time for a clamped triangular plate with two dimensional thickness. In the study we focused on isosceles, right-angled and scalene triangles only. The first three modes of vibration are computed on different variations of plate parameters using the Rayleigh-Ritz method. The objective of the study is to reduce the frequency of the plates. A comparative study of the frequencies with other available results well presents the objective of the study.
