International Applied Mechanics Aims and scope

Abstract

An approach is proposed to solve a stress–strain problem for anisotropic rigidly fixed plates on an elastic foundation. The problem is solved by the method of successive approximations. At each approximation, the deflection is represented as polynomials whose coefficients are determined from a system of linear algebraic equations. Study is made of the influence of the reinforcement angle and the modulus of subgrade reaction on the deflections and the bending moments in an orthotropic plate.
