Abstract

The paper reviews the Chladni plate and Chladni pattern’s-related major research work. The literature reviewed is mainly focused on major and important areas. One of them is Chladni plate experiments and analysis. Other areas considered are Chladni plate and its applications in different fields, mathematical models, analysis and simulation of Chladni patterns. The major mathematical and simulation tools and techniques considered are Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Wave Equations, Numerical methods, etc. Under experimentation techniques the some of the techniques covered are of non-contact type of vibration measurement, including Laser Doppler Vibrometry, electronic speckle-pattern interferometry (ESPI), etc. This paper tries to review and present the information and methods for Chladni plate-related research. It not only covers the overview of the theory behind the phenomenon of the Chladni patterns developed on different shapes of the plates but also Chladni plate’s different applications including Chladni patterns, modal analysis, Cymatics, micromanipulation, textile resonators, fault diagnosis, machine learning techniques, non-contact vibration measurement techniques, etc.
