Application of fundamental solutions to the static analysis of thin plates subjected to transverse and in-plane loading
Journal Title: Civil and Environmental Engineering Reports - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 10
Abstract
In this paper static analysis of Kirchhoff plates is considered. A transverse and in-plane loading is taken into consideration. The Finite Strip Method is used and the suitable fundamental solutions are applied. According to the finite strip method a continuous structure is divided into a set of identical elements simply supported on opposite edges. The unknowns are deflections and transverse slope variables along the nodal lines. The finite difference formulation is applied to express the equilibrium conditions of the discrete system. This reduces the number of degrees of freedom. The solution of a difference equation of equilibrium yields the fundamental function of the considered plate strip. The fundamental solution derived in this way, can be used to solve the static problem of a finite plate in the analogous way as the boundary element method is applied for continuous systems.<br/><br/>
