Abstract
Edge effects in a rectangular sandwich plate with isotropic components are studied. The mathematical model is represented by the homogeneous equations of linear elasticity, which is indicative of an approximate approach in edge-effect theory. The initial equations are reduced to inhomogeneous ones and an exact problem is formulated. Approximate solutions are found by the mesh method. Discrete problems are based on the concept of base scheme. The mesh equations are written in an explicit form and then solved using a computation optimization procedure. As an example, edge-effect zones in a real composite are analyzed.
