Abstract: | The problem of a thin rectangular cantilevered plate of constant thickness with a concentrated load in the center of the free edge is considered. The plate is assumed to be orthotropic, the fixed edge coinciding with the principal direction of elasticity. An equation is obtained for the normal stresses at an arbitrary point on the plate. The theoretical results are compared with experiment.A. A. Zhdanov Gor'kii Polytechnic Institute. Translated from Mekhanika Polimerov, Vol. 4, No. 4, pp. 739–741, July–August, 1968. |
