Inverse doubly periodic problem of the theory of bending of a plate with elastic inclusions

Based on the balanced strength principle, a problem of determining the optimal interference for fitting elastic inclusions into holes of an isotropic elastic plate weakened by a doubly periodic system of circular holes is solved. A closed system of algebraic equations is derived, which allows solving this problem. The resultant interference increases the load-carrying capacity of the composite plate being bent. __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika i Tekhnicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 47, No. 4, pp. 153–161, July–August, 2006.
