Bending of Rectangular Plates with Large Deflection
Abstract
Von Karman's equations for thin plates with large deflections are solved for the special cases of rectangular plates having ratios of length to width of 1.5 and 2 and loaded by uniform normal pressure. The boundary conditions are such as to approximate panels with riveted edges under normal pressure greater than that of the surrounding panels. Center deflections, membrane stresses, and extreme-fiber bending stresses are given as functions of the pressure for center deflections up to twice the thickness of the plate. For small deflections the results are consistent with those given by Timoshenko.
