Bending of Rectangular Plates With Large Deflections

Abstract

Von Karman's fundamental equations for large deflections of plates are used for the case of a rectangular plate under combined edge compression and lateral loading. Numerical solutions for square and rectangular plates with a width span ratio of 3:1 are given. Deflections for a square plate under lateral pressure are compared with experimental and theoretical results by Kaiser. It was found that the effective widths agree closely with Marguerre's formula and with the experimentally observed values and the deflections agree with experimental results.
