Abstract: | The governing differential equations and the boundary conditions for the large deflection of rectangular sandwich plates are derived using the principle of the complementary energy. The governing differential equations are transformed into systems of nonlinear algebraic equations using the finite difference method, and solved by successive iteration. For the purpose of illustration, deflection behavior of simply supported rectangular plates under uniform load is presented. The deflection behavior of plates with various values of shear rigidities and intensity of applied loads is studied. The change in the stress patterns of the face layers of the plate is also discussed. |
