Bending Analysis of Rectangular FGM Plates based on the Extended Kantorovich Method

Bending analysis of FGM plates under uniform and sinusoidal loaded result in forth order partial differential equation. In this paper the analytical solution is based on the extended Kantorovich iterative procedure. The differential equations for the iterative procedure is derived using the Galerkin method. The solution was develope based on the classical plate’s theory (CLPT). The reliability ...

Asymptotic bounds on the globally optimal positions of orthogonal stiffeners for rectangular plates in elastostatic bending

The present paper treats the problem of finding the asymptotic bounds for the globally optimal locations of orthogonal stiffeners minimizing the compliance of a rectangular plate in elastostatic bending. The essence of the paper is the utilization of a method of analysis of orthogonally stiffened rectangular plates first presented by Mazurkiewicz in 1962, and obtained herein in a closed form fo...

A unified analytic solution approach to static bending and free vibration problems of rectangular thin plates

A unified analytic solution approach to both static bending and free vibration problems of rectangular thin plates is demonstrated in this paper, with focus on the application to corner-supported plates. The solution procedure is based on a novel symplectic superposition method, which transforms the problems into the Hamiltonian system and yields accurate enough results via step-by-step rigorou...

Integral Transform Solution of Bending Problem of Clamped Orthotropic Rectangular Plates

The generalized integral transform technique (GITT) is employed to obtain an exact solution for the bending problem of fully clamped orthotropic rectangular plates. The use of the GITT approach in the analysis of the transverse deflection equation leads to a coupled system of fourth order differential equations in the dimensionless longitudinal spatial variable. The resulting transformed ODE sy...
