Abstract The author first discusses the problem of a plane, simply supported rectangular plate loaded by shearing forces in the plane of the plate on all four edges. There are two stiffeners attached one third and two thirds of the way along the plate. The critical load is calculated for various stiffener rigidities. Also, the rigidity necessary to keep the stiffeners straight when the plate buckles is found. This stiffener rigidity is found to be slightly larger than that necessary for a plate with one stiffener and the same panel dimensions as the plate with two stiffeners. The second problem discussed by the author is that of a plane, simply supported rectangular plate loaded by uniformly distributed edge shearing forces in the plane of the plate and linearly distributed tension and compression in the plane of the plate at the ends. The end forces vary from tension hσo, at one corner to—hσo, at the other corner, so that their resultant is a bending moment. The presence of the edge shearing forces is found to diminish the critical bending stress in this case. Calculations are made for various magnitudes of bending and shearing forces for plates of various proportions.

SummaryThe paper presents a solution for the buckling under shear of a rectangular plate which is clamped along one edge and simply-supported along the other edges. The authors have also re-examined the case of one pair of opposite edges clamped and the other pair simply-supported.

The large deflections of a simply supported beam, one end of which is free to move horizontally while the other is subjected to a moment, are investigated by means of inextensional elastica theory. The linear theory is found to be valid for relatively large angles of rotation of the loaded end. The beam becomes transitionally unstable, however, at a critical value of the bending moment parameter MIL/EI equal to 5.284. If the angle of rotation is controlled, the beam is found to become unstable when the rotation is 222.65 deg.

Abstract The distribution of deflection and bending moment in a uniformly loaded rectangular plate having two adjacent edges clamped and the others either simply supported or free, are obtained by a method of superposition. Numerical values are given for square plates and, in one case, the results are compared with those obtained by another method.

A perturbation technique is employed to determine the critical buckling stress of a simply supported rectangular plate of variable thickness. The differential equation is derived for a general thickness variation. The problem of bending, vibration, buckling, and that of dynamic stability of a variable thickness plate can be deduced from this equation. The problem of buckling of a rectangular plate with simply supported edges and having general variation in thickness in one direction is considered in detail. The solution is presented in a form such as can be easily adopted for computing critical buckling stress, once the thickness variation is known. The numerical values obtained from the present analysis are in excellent agreement with the published results.

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.

Abstract The influence of rotatory inertia and shear deformation on the flexural vibrations of isotropic, rectangular plates is investigated. Three independent families of modes are possible when the edges are simply supported. Coupling of the modes is studied for the case of one pair of parallel edges free and the other pair simply supported. The development of the coupling is traced by means of a solution for elastically supported edges. Special attention is given to the higher modes and frequencies of vibration which are beyond the range of applicability of the classical theory of thin plates.

Polynomial coordinate functions and the Galerkin method are used to determine the response of a thin, elastic, rectangular plate with edges elastically restrained against rotation and subjected to sinusoidal excitation. It is shown that when the flexibility coefficients approach infinity (simply supported edge conditions) the calculated results practically coincide with the exact solution in the case of a square plate when four terms of the expansion are used. Dynamic displacement and bending moment amplitudes are tabulated for different length-to-width ratios, flexibility coefficients, and frequency values.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate thermally induced vibration of a rectangular plate with one edge fixed and other three edges simply supported. The plate was subjected to a sinusoidal heat input, which varied with respect to time, on one face while the other face of the plate was insulated. An approximate solution to the governing differential equation of motion of the plate was assumed in the form of a double trigonometric series which satisfied all the boundary conditions. Galerkin’s method was then used to obtain the deflection curve for the plate and corresponding stresses at various points in the plate. Certain interesting phenomena indicate the possibility of predicting early fatigue failure. Results are presented in graph forms and discussed.

Upper and lower bounds for the fundamental eigenvalue (frequency) of a simply supported rectangular plate with linearly varying thickness are given for several taper ratios and plan geometries. These bounds were determined using a previously published method which yields convergent bounds. In the present study, all results have been obtained to within 0.5 percent maximum possible error.
