Abstract

This paper studies the behavior of uniformly loaded rectangular thin plates with a partial internal line support. The highlight of the problem is that the analytical formulation explicitly considers the moment singularities that occur at the tips of partial internal line supports. The proper finite Hankel transform is used to transform a pair of dual-series equations obtained from the mixed conditions along the partial internal line support to a single Fredholm integral equation. Numerical results concerning deflection, bending moment, resultant forces, and bending-stress intensity factors are given for a square plate. Some results are also compared with the case of a square plate without partial internal line support.
