In previous papers [1, 2], the postbuckling behavior of rectangular plates under edge compression has been studied theoretically under eight different boundary conditions, and numerical solutions are presented for square plates with and without initial deflection. To compare with these results, experiments were carried out by using aluminum square plates, and the relations of the maximum deflection, stresses, and strains at typical points in the plate with applied loads were determined under four different boundary conditions. It is found that the experimental results are in reasonable agreement with those theoretically predicted.

In the previous paper [1], the title problem is theoretically treated under eight different boundary conditions and numerical solutions are obtained for the deflection, edge shortening, and effective width of the square plate in edgewise compression. As a continuation of this work, the stress state in the buckled plate is investigated and numerical results for the square plate are given graphically. Further the formulas for the ultimate load of the square plate in each case are derived by using the maximum-shear theory for the beginning of yielding and comparison is made with the previous results and experiments.

Abstract The solution of Marguerre’s fundamental equations for large deflections of thin plates with slight initial curvature is presented for the case of a rectangular plate subjected to edge compression. The problem is solved under eight different boundary conditions, combining two kinds of loading conditions and four kinds of supporting conditions. Numerical solutions are obtained for square plates with and without initial deflection, and the connections of deflection, edge shortening, and effective width of the plate with applied loads are clarified. The solutions here obtained include as special cases those investigated by Levy and Coan.

In the paper presented the behavior of a transversely formed box-girder model subjected to pure bending is discussed, where the deck plating of the model is loaded above the buckling load. The experimental results obtained are in reasonable agreement with theoretical investigations and show the influence of fabrication initiated plate deflections on the buckling and postbuckling behavior of the deck plating clearly. A method is suggested for determining the buckling load of plates having large initial deformations.

We investigate the impact of different boundary conditions on the flow field developing around a tilted rectangular cylinder. We are mainly interested in analyzing the changes in force coefficients and in the vortex shedding Strouhal number due to the proximity of the cylinder to a bottom plate (placed at various distances from the cylinder) at different angles of attack. The angle of attack ranges between −30° and +30° and the cylinder elevation above the bottom wall is varied between almost zero and 200 mm. The effects of the different boundary conditions on the vortex shedding phenomenon are investigated by considering the Strouhal number of the vortex shedding as the key controlling parameter. The experimental results mimicking the unbounded conditions (relative large elevation of the cylinder above the solid wall) are in close agreement with those already found in literature. On the contrary, remarkable differences occur when the elevation of the cylinder is decreased. A large body of experimental results is related to the small elevation conditions at different attack angles, where the presence of the wall has a non-negligible effect on the behavior of the force coefficients and Strouhal number of the vortex shedding.

Abstract The deflection of a thin rectangular plate on an elastic foundation is given for the case in which two opposite edges have arbitrary but given deflections and moments. Six important cases of boundary conditions on the remaining two edges are treated. The solution is given for general transverse loads which are continuous in one direction and sectionally continuous in the other. By use of the sine transform the solution is obtained as a single trigonometric series. Numerical solutions are obtained for six special cases.

The aim of this article is to find an exact analytical solution for free vibration characteristics of thin functionally graded rectangular plates with different boundary conditions. The governing equations of motion are obtained based on the classical plate theory. Using an analytical method, three partial differential equations of motion are reformulated into two new decoupled equations. Based on the Navier solution, a closed-form solution is presented for natural frequencies of functionally graded simply supported rectangular plates. Then, considering Levy-type solution, natural frequencies of functionally graded plates are presented for various boundary conditions. Three mode shapes of a functionally graded rectangular plate are also presented for different boundary conditions. In addition, the effects of aspect ratio, thickness—length ratio, power law index, and boundary conditions on the vibration characteristics of functionally graded rectangular plates are discussed in details. Finally, it has been shown that the effects of in-plane displacements on natural frequencies of functionally graded plates under different boundary conditions have been studied.
