AbstractThe solution for a simply supported many-sided polygonal plate does not agree with that for the corresponding circular plate. This paper describes the earlier work of Rao and Rajaiah on polygonal plates and then explains why best convergence of series solutions occurs when the boundary conditions are defined as

This paper presents a thin plate formulation with nodal integration for bending analysis using three-node triangular cells and linear interpolation functions. The formulation was based on the classic thin plate theory, in which only deflection field was required and dealt with as the field variables. They were assumed to be piecewisely linear and expressed using a set of three-node triangular cells. Based on each node, the integration domain has been further derived, where the curvature in the domain was computed using a gradient smoothing technique (GST). As a result, the curvature in each integration domain is a constant whereby the deflection is compatible in the whole problem domain. The generalized smoothed Galerkin weak form is then used to create the discretized system equations where the system stiffness is obtained using simple summation operation. The essential rotational boundary conditions are imposed in the process of constructing the curvature field in conjunction with imposing the translational boundary conditions in the same way as undertaken in the standard FEM. A number of numerical examples were studied using the present formulation, including both static and free vibration analyses. The numerical results were compared with the reference ones together with those shown in the state-of-art literatures published. Very good accuracy has been achieved using the present method.

Within the limits of classical thin-plate theory a variety of elementary problems have been solved for the rectangular plate3,4,5. In particular, the rectangular plate with edges simply supported or clamped has been dealt with at length and the solution to different loading cases given either in the form of a doubly infinite series or a single infinite series. In this paper a rapidly convergent series solution is outlined for the uniformly elastically clamped plate which is subjected to nonuniform lateral and thermal loading. The solution converges in the limit to those corresponding to the simply supported and rigidly clamped plate.

Within the limitations of the classical thin plate theory expressions are obtained for the small deflections of a thin isotropic circular plate uniformly loaded over a concentric ellipse and supported by four columns at the vertices of a rectangle whose sides are parallel to the axes of the ellipse. Formulae are given for the moments and shears at the centre of the plate and on the edge. Limiting cases are investigated.

AbstractIn this work, the bending behavior of nanoplates subjected to both sinusoidal and uniform loads in hygrothermal environment is investigated. The present plate theory is based on the classical laminated thin plate theory with strain gradient effect to take into account the nonlocality present in the nanostructures. The equilibrium equations have been carried out by using the principle of virtual works and a system of partial differential equations of the sixth order has been carried out, in contrast to the classical thin plate theory system of the fourth order. The solution has been obtained using a trigonometric expansion (e.g., Navier method) which is applicable to simply supported boundary conditions and limited lamination schemes. The solution is exact for sinusoidal loads; nevertheless, convergence has to be proved for other load types such as the uniform one. Both the effect of the hygrothermal loads and lamination schemes (cross-ply and angle-ply nanoplates) on the bending behavior of thin nanoplates are studied. Results are reported in dimensionless form and validity of the present methodology has been proven, when possible, by comparing the results to the ones from the literature (available only for cross-ply laminates). Novel applications are shown both for cross- and angle-ply laminated which can be considered for further developments in the same topic.

If a thin elastic circular plate B: ∣z∣ < 1 is clamped (simply supported, respectively) along its edge ∣z∣ = 1, its deflection at z ∈ B under a point load at ζ ∈ B, measured positively in the direction of the gravitational pull, is the biharmonic Green's function β(z, ζ) of the clamped plate (γ(z, ζ) of the simply supported plate, respectively). We ask: how do β(z, ζ) and γ(z, ζ) compare with the corresponding deflections β0(z, ζ) and γ0(z, ζ) of the punctured circular plate B0: 0 < ∣ z ∣ < 1 that is “clamped” or “simply supported”, respectively, also at the origin? We shall show that γ(z, ζ) is not affected by the puncturing, that is, γ(·, ζ) = γ0(·, ζ), whereas β(·, ζ) is:on B0 × B0. Moreover, while β((·, ζ) is of constant sign, β0(·, ζ) is not. This gives a simple counterexmple to the conjecture of Hadamard [6] that the deflection of a clampled thin elastic plate be always of constant sign:The biharmonic Gree's function of a clampled concentric circular annulus is not of constant sign if the radius of the inner boundary circle is sufficiently small.Earlier counterexamples to Hadamard's conjecture were given by Duffin [2], Garabedian [4], Loewner [7], and Szegö [9]. Interest in the problem was recently revived by the invited address of Duffin [3] before the Annual Meeting of the American Mathematical Society in 1974. The drawback of the counterexample we will present is that, whereas the classical examples are all simply connected, ours is not. In the simplicity of the proof, however, there is no comparison.

SummaryThe equations of thin plate theory are expressed in polar co-ordinates and transformed using the Mellin transform. Problems involving discontinuous and isolated normal loadings may then be solved in the case of the built-in or freely supported wedge-shaped boundary.
