Rectangular Plates Resting on Tensionless Elastic Foundation: Some New Results

The behavior of flexible rectangular plates resting on tensionless elastic foundations is analyzed using finite-element method (FEM) techniques. A nine-noded Mindlin element has been adopted for modeling the plate to account for transverse shear effects. Effects of realistic design parameters have b...

Description
Summary:The behavior of flexible rectangular plates resting on tensionless elastic foundations is analyzed using finite-element method (FEM) techniques. A nine-noded Mindlin element has been adopted for modeling the plate to account for transverse shear effects. Effects of realistic design parameters have been studied.
