1. Reference problem#

1.1. Geometry#

_images/100004240000181500000C81B3C9BDB981A2B23F.svg

Or a plate whose characteristics are as follows:

length: \(a=1.5m\)

width: \(b=1m\)

thickness: \(t=0.01m\)

The characteristic points of the plate have the following coordinates:

\(A\)

\(B\)

\(C\)

\(D\)

\(x\)

\(y\)

1.5

1.5

1.5

\(z\)

1.2. Material properties#

The parameters characterizing the properties of the material are:

\(E=2.1{10}^{\mathrm{11 }}\mathrm{Pa}\)

\(\nu =0.3\)

\(\rho =7800\mathrm{kg}/{m}^{3}\)

1.3. Boundary conditions and loads#

1.3.1. Flexion problem#

The plate is easily supported on all sides: for any point \(P\) on the edge we have: \(w=0\).

1.3.2. Membrane problem#

For all points on the plate, we block the movement in \(z\) and the three degrees of rotation, that is to say:

\(w=0.\) \({\theta }_{x}={\theta }_{y}={\theta }_{z}=0.\)

On the sides \(\mathrm{AD}\) and \(\mathrm{BC}\) we block the movement in \(y\): for \(y=0.\) or \(y=a\) we have \(v=0\).

At points \(A,B,C,D\), springs with a stiffness of \(k\) are attached. The axis of these springs is the \(x\) direction.

The numeric value for \(k\) is \(k=25N/m\).
