Bending of Multi-Connected Plates with Elliptic Inclusions

Keywords

Abstract

A new approximate method for determining the stress state of a thin anisotropic plate with elastic inclusions is proposed. The results of numerical studies are described, which made it possible to reveal the influence of the stiffness of elastic inclusions, the distances between them, and their geometric characteristics on the values of the bending moments arising in the plate. The issue of using moment’s intensity factors was considered in case of sufficiently rigid or flexible linear inclusions.
