Shells 52

This document discusses rectangular plates under different loading conditions. It describes an equation for the deformation of a plate with self-balanced concentrated forces applied at the corners, showing that this produces a state of pure torsion across the entire plate surface. The twisting moments along the boundaries of an isolated section of the plate are found to be uniform. Replacing the twisting moments with equivalent shear forces results in zero shear along the sides but concentrated forces at the corners.

Rectangular Plates

This is an equation of an hyperbolic paraboloid with asymptotes inclined at 45 to the x and y axes. Let us determine the moments Mn and Mnt from Eqs (2.45) in skew sections that are parallel to the asymptotes. Letting 45 , we obtain M n 0; Mnt m:

Thus, a part of the plate isolated from the whole plate and equally inclined to the x and y axes will be loaded along its boundary by uniform twisting moments of intensity m. Hence, this part of the plate is subjected to pure twisting (Fig. 3.4b). Let us replace the twisting moments by the effective shear forces V , rotating these moments through 90 (see Sec. 2.4). Along the whole sides of the isolated part we obtain V 0, but at the corner points the concentrated forces S 2m are applied. Thus, for the model of Kirchhoffs plate, an application of self-balanced concentrated forces at corners of a rectangular plate produces a deformation of pure torsion because over the whole surface of the plate Mnt m const: Remark Since the plate described above in pure bending has no supports, its deections have been determined with an accuracy of the displacements of an absolutely rigid body. 3.3 NAVIERS METHOD (DOUBLE SERIES SOLUTION)

In 1820, Navier presented a paper to the French Academy of Sciences on the solution of bending of simply supported plates by double trigonometric series [1].
