An analysis of a plate, simply supported on three edges and elastically restrained on the fourth, excited by a concentrated load with a harmonic time history, is used to study the peak resonant response of the plate for several configurations and a wide range of edge restraint. Classical thin plate theory is employed with a complex elastic modulus to account for energy dissipation. An approximate method, based on a single term normal mode solution, is developed for calculating the limits of the peak resonant response for arbitrary edge restraint.

Treated herein is the elastic buckling of circular plates based on the Reddy plate theory. This plate theroy extends the Kirchhoff (or the classical thin) plate theory to allow for the effect of transverse shear deformation. Unlike the Mindlin’s shear deformation plate theory, there is no need for a shear correction factor in the Reddy plate theory. In this paper, exact buckling solutions are derived for circular plates whose edges are simply supported and elastically restrained against rotation as well. This general edge condition includes the classical simply supported and clamped edges at the limiting, values of the elastic rotational restraint constant. The buckling solutions are expressed in terms of the well-known Kichhoff buckling solutions. A comparison of buckling loads between the Mindlin, Reddy and three-dimensional elasticity plates is also given.

SummaryThe problem considered is the buckling of a rectangular plate under uniaxial compression. The ends may be either both clamped, both simply-supported or a mixture of the two. The sides may be elastically restrained against both deflection and rotation with any stiffnesses whatsoever. It is shown that the curve of buckling stress coefficient versus side ratio can be deduced in a simple manner from that of a plate with the same end conditions but with both sides simply-supported, provided only that the buckling stress coefficient and wavelength for an infinite strip with the same side conditions are known. Some correlations between the curves for the three types of end condition are discussed. It is also shown that if, for some given side ratio, the buckling mode is known, then it is always possible to deduce the rate of change of buckling stress coefficient with side ratio at that point. The argument is based upon an assumption which is shown to give very accurate results in a wide range of cases.

The three partial differential equations derived by Dr. E. Reissner2, 3 have been reduced to a fourth-order partial differential equation resembling that of the classical plate theory and to a second-order differential equation for determining a stress function. The general solution for the two partial differential equations has been applied to a simply supported plate with a constant load p and to a plate with two opposite edges simply supported and the other two edges free. Numerical calculations have been made for the simply supported plate and the results compared with those of classical theory. The calculations for a wide range of parameters indicate that the deviation is small.

On the basis of the ordinary thin plate theory, the stability of a simply supported elliptical plate subjected to uniform compression in its middle plane is considered by the use of circular functions, hyperbolic functions, Mathieu functions, and modified Mathieu functions which are solutions of the equilibrium equation of the buckled plate. The first five eigenvalues for the buckling mode symmetrical about both axes are calculated numerically for a variety of aspect ratios of the ellipse. The limiting cases of a circular plate and of an infinitely long strip are also discussed.

Thin Plate Theory

The response of a floating ice plate to a moving load is given in terms of a pair of Green's functions. General expressions for these Green's functions are derived for the case of an infinite isotropic plate of uniform thickness supported on a fluid base of uniform depth. The distributions of stress and strain in the vicinity of a concentrated load receive significant contributions from waves of length comparable with the plate thickness and their description necessitates an exact description of thickness effects. Circumstances in which the classical thin-plate theory can be recovered are discussed. The steady-state response to a uniformly moving load displays a so-called ‘critical’ behaviour for load velocities in the neighbourhood of a threshold value at which radiation commences. At the critical speed the amplitude is limited by dissipative forces in the ice plate. To describe this a simple viscoelastic term is included in our model. Calculations indicate that thin-plate theory is accurate to within 5% for distances greater than twenty times the ice thickness.

ABSTRACTIn this paper explicit expressions in closed forms are first obtained for the complex potentials and deflexion at any point of a circular annular plate under various edge conditions when the plate is acted upon by general line loadings distributed along the circumference of a concentric circle. These solutions are then used to discuss the bending of a circular plate with a central hole under a concentrated load or a concentrated couple acting at any point of the plate. Solutions for singularly loaded sectorial plates bounded by two arcs of concentric circles and two radii are also derived when the plate is simply supported along the straight edges. The boundary conditions along the circular edges include the cases of a free boundary as well as the elastically restrained boundary which covers the usual rigidly clamped and simply supported boundaries as special cases. The usual restrictions relating to the small deflexion theory of thin plates of constant thickness are assumed. Limiting forms of the resulting solutions are investigated.

Different Thickness

The influence of longitudinal constructive discontinuity on the stability of the plate in the domain of elastic stability is solved based on the classical thin plate theory. The constructive discontinuities divide the plate into fields of different thickness. The plate has two opposite edges simply supported while the other two edges can take any combination of free, simply supported and clamped conditions. The Levy method is used for the solution of the problem of stability, with the aim of developing an analytical approach when researching the stability of plates with longitudinal constructive discontinuities and also with the aim of obtaining exact solutions for plates with non-uniform thickness. The exact solutions for stability presented herein are very valuable as they may serve as benchmark results for researches in this area.

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.

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
