Analytic bending solutions of free rectangular thin plates resting on elastic foundations, based on the Winkler model, are obtained by a new symplectic superposition method. The proposed method offers a rational elegant approach to solve the problem analytically, which was believed to be difficult to attain. By way of a rigorous but simple derivation, the governing differential equations for rectangular thin plates on elastic foundations are transferred into Hamilton canonical equations. The symplectic geometry method is then introduced to obtain analytic solutions of the plates with all edges slidingly supported, followed by the application of superposition, which yields the resultant solutions of the plates with all edges free on elastic foundations. The proposed method is capable of solving plates on elastic foundations with any other combinations of boundary conditions. Comprehensive numerical results validate the solutions by comparison with those obtained by the finite element method.

The free vibration of orthotropic rectangular thin plates with four free edges on two-parameter elastic foundations is studied by the symplectic superposition method. Firstly, by analyzing the boundary conditions, the original vibration problem is converted into two sub-vibration problems of the plates slidingly clamped at two opposite edges. Based on slidingly clamped at two opposite edges, the fundamental solutions of these two sub-vibration problems are respectively derived by the separation variable method of the corresponding Hamiltonian system, and then the symplectic superposition solution of the original vibration problem is obtained by superimposing the fundamental solutions of the two sub-problems. Finally, the symplectic superposition solution obtained in this study is verified by calculating the frequencies and mode functions of several concrete rectangular thin plates with four free edges.

Abstract This paper attempts to solve the problem of the bending action of rectangular plates clamped at all four edges and subjected to lateral loading. Analytical in nature, the author’s investigation is based upon the ordinary theory of bending of thin plates as treated in Lagrange’s equation of the middle surface. The superposition method is used and applied to a number of loadings not hitherto studied.
