Some generalization of the theory of bending of anisotropic plates


Bogdan Krušić, France Brešar




In this paper, the problem of the bending of an anisotropic plate is serious with the method introduced in 1938 by Lahnicki [2]. In his discussion, he started from Kirchhoff's theory of thin plates and for the complete description of the stress-deformation state, he needed two analytical functions. We generalized the solution by assuming that the displacements $u,v,w$ are expressed in the form of polynomials with respect to the variable $Z$ (equation 1.4). These polynomials naturally represent the beginning of the corresponding Taylor series. It turns out that the number of functions used to express the stress-strain state of the plate depends on the degree of the polynomials. In our application ($N=3$), we obtained six such functions. We have constructed odd boundary value problems to determine these six functions and as a simple example we have solved the half plane problem.
