Abstract:
The governing equation for plate bending is biharmonic equation, the traditionalsolution methodology is the semi-inverse one that causes limitations. The Airy stress function isusually applied traditionally for plane elasticity problems, it also satisfies biharmonic equation.The analogy between plate bending and plane elasticity problems had been noticed long before,but their solution systems are different each other, and the analogy relationship had not been usedsystematically. In this paper, the analogy i...
