Journal Title: Журнал інженерних наук - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
In this work, the Ritz variational method for solving the flexural problem of Kirchhoff–Love plates under transverse distributed load has been presented systematically in matrix form. An illustrative application of the matrix presentation was done for simply supported rectangular Kirchhoff–Love plate under uniformly distributed load. The application used a one term Ritz approximating displacement (coordinate, or basis) function. A one term Ritz approximate solutions obtained for center displacement of square plates showed a difference of 1.9 % from the exact solution for displacement. Solution obtained for the bending moment at the center showed a difference of 7.9 % from the exact solution for bending moment. The one term Ritz approximation for the maximum shear force showed a difference of –10.7 % from the exact solution. The results obtained for a one term Ritz approximation of the displacement shape function was reasonably close for practical purposes.
