STABILITY OF ELONGATED RECTANGULAR PLATES

In this monograph the research of the problem related to the theory of stability of elongated plates supported along the contour by thin-walled rods of open profile is presented.A methodology for the formulation of boundary conditions along the line of contact between the plate and the reinforcing rods (ribs), which takes into account the constrained torsion and shear deformation at the bending of the latter, is proposed.A number of problems on stability and finding deflections and forces in the stability of elongated plates are solved in closed form; a number of problems are solved approximated using the Bubnov-Galerkin method.The monograph will be of interest to a wide range of readers: engineers, researchers, postgraduates, students specializing in the field of mechanics of solid deformable bodies, as well as to all those who are interested in this direction of mechanics.
