M.Tech. I Year II Sem.
Course Objectives: To impart knowledge on the behavior of plates and to analyse the problems pertaining to beams on elastic foundation.
Course Outcomes: The learner will be able to understand the behavior of plates for loadings and boundary conditions.
UNIT – I : Cylindrical Bending: Different kind of plates – Assumptions – Derivation of differential equation for cylindrical bending of long rectangular plates – Analysis of uniformly loaded rectangular plates with edges simply supported and fixed subjected to uniform load. Pure Bending of Plates: Slope and curvature of slightly bent plates – Relations between moments and curvature – Particular cases of pure bending – Strain energy in pure bending –Energy methods like Ritz and Galerkin Methods to rectangular plates subjected to simple loadings.
UNIT – II : Small Deflection Theory of Thin Rectangular Plates : Assumptions – Derivation of governing differential equation for thin plates – Boundary conditions – simply supported plate unde sinusoidal load – Navier’s solution – Application to different cases – Levy’s solution for various boundary conditions subjected to different loadings like uniform and hydrostatic pressure.
UNIT – III : Circular Plates : Symmetrical loading – Relations between slope, deflection, moments and curvature – Governing differential equation – Uniformly loaded plates with clamped and simply supported edges – Central hole – bending by moments and shearing forces uniformly distributed. Orthotropic Plates: Introduction – Bending of anisotropic plates – Derivation of governing differential equation – Determination of Rigidities in various cases like R.C. slabs, corrugated sheet – Application to the theory of grid works.
UNIT – IV : Plates on Elastic Foundations: Governing differential equation – deflection of uniformly loaded simply supported rectangular plate – Navier and Levy type solutions – Large plate loaded at equidistant points by concentrated forces P.
UNIT – V : Buckling of Plates: Governing equation for Bending of plate under the combined action of in-plane loading and lateral loads – Buckling of rectangular plates by compressive forces acting in one and two directions in the middle plane of plate Finite Difference Methods: Introduction – Application to rectangular plates subjected to simple loading.
