The work reported here is a simplified approximate analysis to take into account, the effects of allowing the supported edges of a rectangular plate to deflect, both in bending deflection, and in rotational (twisting) deflection and is for a plate with two opposite edges simply supported, the two remaining edges supported on elastic beams with finite flexural and torsional rigidity.

The problem of large deflection of a rectangular plate resting on a Pasternak-type foundation and subjected to a uniform lateral load has been investigated by utilizing the linearized equation of plates due to H. M. Berger. The solutions derived and based on the effect of the two base parameters have been carried to practical conclusions by presenting graphs for bending moments and shear forces for a square plate with all edges simply supported.

In this paper, an extended high-dimensional Melnikov method is used to investigate global and chaotic dynamics of a simply supported 3D-kagome truss core sandwich plate subjected to the transverse and the in-plane excitations. Based on the motion equation derived by Zhang and the method of multiple scales, the averaged equation is obtained for the case of principal parametric resonance and 1:2 sub-harmonic resonance for the first-order mode and primary resonance for the second-order mode. From the averaged equation obtained, the system is simplified to a three order standard form with a double zero and a pair of pure imaginary eigenvalues by using the theory of normal form. Then, the extended Melnikov method is utilized to investigate the Shilnikov-type multi-pulse heteroclinic bifurcations and existence of chaos. The analysis of the extended Melnikov method demonstrates that there exist the Shilnikov-type multi-pulse heteroclinic bifurcations and chaos in the four-dimensional non-autonomous nonlinear system. Finally, the results of numerical simulations also show that for the nonlinear system of simply supported 3D-kagome truss core sandwich plate with the transverse and the in-plane excitations, the Shilnikov-type multi-pulse motion of chaos can happen and further verify the result of theoretical analysis.

Metallic sandwich plates are lightweight structural materials with load-bearing and multi-functional characteristics. Previous analytic studies have shown that the bendability of these plates increases as the thickness decreases. Due to difficulty in the manufacture of thin sandwich plates, dimpled cores (structures called egg-box cores) are employed as a sandwich core. High-precision dimpled cores are easily fabricated in a sectional forming process. The cores are then bonded with skin sheets by multi-point resistance welding. The bending characteristics of simply supported plates were observed by the defining measure, including the radius ratio of the small dimple, the thickness of a sandwich plate, and the pattern angle (0°/90°, 45°). Experimental results revealed that sandwich plates with a thickness of 2.2 mm and a pattern angle of 0°/90° showed good bendability as the punch stroke under a collapse load was longer than other cases. In addition, the gap between attachment points was found to be an important parameter for the improvement of the bendability. Finally, sandwich plates with dimpled cores were bent with a radius of curvature of 330 mm for the sheet thickness of 2.2 mm using an incremental bending apparatus.

Based on Reissner’s sandwich plate theory, the critical globlal buckling equation of sandwich plate with ribs is deduced by energy method under simple support boundary conditions. And the critical buckling solution is obtained and discussed here. Afterwards a rectangular sandwich plate with steel faceplate and polyurthane core is taken as an example. The influence on critical global buckling stress with different inertia moments in rectangular sandwich plates are discussed. simularly the effect of the lengh ratio of two sides and the thickness of rectangular sandwich plate are also studied.

SummaryThe paper provides relationships between the buckling resistance of simply-supported transversely stiffened plates and the flexural rigidity of the stiffeners for various values of the ratio of torsional rigidity to nexural rigidity. Results are presented for four different stiffener spacings.

Abstract The distribution of deflection and bending moment in a uniformly loaded rectangular plate having two adjacent edges clamped and the others either simply supported or free, are obtained by a method of superposition. Numerical values are given for square plates and, in one case, the results are compared with those obtained by another method.

Abstract A solution is given for the bending of a uniformly loaded rectangular plate, simply supported on two opposite edges and having arbitrary boundary conditions on the others. The thickness variation is taken as exponential in order to make the solution tractable, and thus closely approximates to uniform taper if the latter is small.
