This Maple worksheet implements the Ritz method for calculation of frequency factors for rectangular thick elastic plates. Various boundary conditions may be prescribed along each plate edge (simple, clamped, free) in a simple way. The graphical presentation of deflection, moments and shear forces are available for each frequency mode.
