Problem of Thermoelasticity for an Orthotropic Plate-Strip of Variable Thickness with Regard for Transverse Shear

Journal of Mathematical Sciences volume 208, pages 417–424 (2015)Cite this article

We solve a plane problem of thermoelasticity and a problem of bending for an orthotropic plate-strip with linearly varying thickness under restrained boundary conditions. The results of numerical analyses of displacements, forces, and bending moments in the plate-strip are presented.
