Rectangular plate; one edge fixed, opposite edge free, remaining edges simply supported Uniform loading over entire plate
Rectangular plate; one edge fixed,
opposite edge free, remaining edges simply supported |
Uniform loading
over entire plate |
Stress Maximum at center of fixed edge:
and | R = γ1qb |
Stress Maximum at center of free edge:
and | R = γ2qb |
Symbols used:
q = Applied Load or Force to Flat Area of Plate (N/m2, lbs/2)
v = Poisson’s ratio (assumed to be 0.2)
t = plate thickness, (m, in)
a = plate length, (m, in)
b = plate width, (m, in)
σ max = maximum stress, (N/m2, lbs/in2)
R = Reaction force per unit length (N/m, lbs/in) normal to the plate surface exerted by the boundary support on the edge of the plate.
