Deflections of a Simply Supported Rectangular Sandwich Plate Subjected to Transverse Loads

Résumé du livre

The differential equations of the bending of sandwich plates were integrated to obtain the deflections when the four edges of the plate are simply supported and the loading consists of either a uniformly distributed transverse load or a concentrated load applied at the center of the panel. The deflection patterns are shown in diagrams and the maximum deflection of the plate is presented in a number of graphs.
