About this ebook

Several problems on the large deflections of curved plates with compound curvature are treated. The large-deflection equations of plates and cylinders is used. The effect initial curvature for a plate under axial compression is to increase its deflection considerably upon the application of load. With increasing loads, the deflection curves merge into one regardless of the initial deflection form. It is shown also that the average shear strain for a plate under shear loading is not much affected by the initial curvature, at least for the initial deflection function used. In addition, for the circular cylindrical plate with small initial curvature under axial compression, the deflections of the plate are affected more by changes in the radius than by changes in the initial curvature.
