The paper presents the strain energy of the circular plate clamped all around through a relation obtained analytically and the graphic representation of the modal shapes and the maximum normalized strain energy along the x axis. Depending on the number of nodal circles s and the nodal diameters n, the maximum strain energy can be both in the center of the circular plate clamped all around, as well as the first ventral points from the center of the circular plate towards the outside of the plate.
