Answer any five questions
All questions carry equal marks
---

1. A thin long narrow rectangular plate of thickness h, flexural rigidity D is

subjected to a u.d.l. of intensity W. If it is fixed along the longer edges, obtain
the general expression for deflection & B.M. Also find their maximum values.

2. A circular plate simply supported at the edge is subjected to a uniform load of

intensity W per unit area. If its radius = a, thickness = h, and flexural rigidity =
D, obtain the general expressions for deflection, radial & transverse moments.
Also find their maximum values.

3.

L D
A rectangular plate a x b, simply supported at the edges is subjected to a
sinusoidal loading. Using the Naviers solution, obtain the general expressions for

4. R
deflection & B.M. Also find their maximum values.

O
What are Orthotropic plates? Derive the governing differential equation for the
orthotropic plates.

5.
W
Apply theory of thin plate for SS plate under sinusoidal loading and obtain
deflection of plate.

U
6.
T
By establishing equilibrium of an elemental area in a circular plate derive the

N
differential equation of equilibrium for bending of thin circular plate. Hence

J
obtain deflection of a circular plate with a hole at centre bending under moments
M1 & M2 uniformly distributed along the inner and outer boundaries.

7. Evaluate moments at clamped edge for a uniformly loaded circular plate with
clamped edges. Hence derive the deflections of a simply supported uniformly
loaded circular plate.

8. For a simply supported rectangular plate subjected to hydrostatic pressure on the

entire span, obtain deflections & moments in the plate using LEVYs solution.
