The dynamic stressed state of a rectangular composite plate rigidly fixed along its edges

Using the generalized dynamic theory of bending of plates, which takes account of the compliance of the material to transverse shear strains, we obtain an approximate solution of the problem of the dynamic stressed state of a composite plate with rigidly fixed edges subject to an impact load. We exhibit the contribution of the physico-mechanical and geometric parameters of the plate to the magnitude of the computed stresses and their time variation for different coefficients of internal dissipation of mechanical energy.Translated fromMatematichni Metodi ta Fiziko-Mekhanichni Polya, Vol. 40, No. 3, 1997, pp. 129–133.
