Abstract

We consider problems for rectangular plates on one and on two partial internal supports with two opposite edges simply supported and two other edges clamped. The problems are modeled by the biharmonic equation with strongly mixed boundary conditions in the sense that there is a change of types of boundary conditions on a side of the rectangle. These boundary value problems lead to sequences of problems for the Poisson equation with strongly mixed boundary conditions. Finally, in solving these problems a version of the domain decomposition method is applied. The convergence of the obtained approximate solution is proved. Several numerical experiments show the fast convergence of the method. The efficiency of the proposed method is clear from the comparison of it with the dual series equations method used by other authors in the case of a plate with one internal support.
