| Abstract | This study is aimed towards the analysis of skew plates with eccentric stiffeners. By following
the previous studies for bending of the rectangular plates with eccentric stiffeners, a governing
equation with respect to skew coordinates and sets of boundary conditions for the skew plates
with eccentric stiffeners are derived. These equations for the skew plates with eccentric stiffeners
are found to be in the same form as those for rectangular anisotropic plates with or without
stiffeners.
The proposed method, based on a principle of virtual work in conjunction with finite elements, is
applicable to any type of plates. An example of the applicability of this method is illustrated by
the problem of a skew plate under uniform load and supported at corners. The analysis is made
by employing a parental element inside.the plate domain and rings of satellite elements along the
plate boundary. The results obtained show close agreement with available results and good
convergence characteristics as the mesh of the satellite elements becomes finer. |
