Uniformly Loaded, Rotationally Restrained Rectangular Plate and Corner Singularities
Publication: Journal of Engineering Mechanics
Volume 140, Issue 9
Abstract
The basic problem of a uniformly loaded rectangular plate with rotationally restrained edges is studied. An efficient, accurate method of eigenfunction superposition is used to determine important design parameters such as maximum deflection, maximum moment, maximum shear, and magnitude of the corner force. As the rotational spring stiffness decreases, oscillatory behavior of the edge shear gradually becomes monotonic. Corner forces exist whenever at least one adjacent edge is not clamped and become maximal when both edges are simply supported.
