Deformations in a Plate
Plate Assumptions
Each layer is in state of plane stress: Length of
line AD is constant.
-- this neglects normal strain in z direction
Layers are perfectly bonded together, therefore
displacements are continuous across boundaries
Kirchoff-Love hypothesis: Normals to the center
line remain normal to center line after deformation
-- this neglects through the thickness shears
Displacements
Displacements of all points are related to the mid-plane displacement
u(x,y,z)=u0(x,y)-zfx(x,y)
v(x,y,z)=v0(x,y)-zfy(x,y)
if plate is thin

Computation of Stresses
Example 6.2
Compute the stresses at the bottom surface of a single-layer
plate subjected to Mx = 1. The plate thickness is t = 0.635 mm
and the material properties are given in example 5.1. The
fiber direction coincides with the global x-axis.
Computation of Stresses
Example 6.2
From Example 5.1:
Computation of Stresses
Example 6.2
Shear forces = 0
Inplane forces = 0
Plate is symmetric
Therefore:
[H] = 0
[A] = 0
[B] = 0
Computation of Stresses
Example 6.2
To determine the [D] matrix:
Use (6.16)
Where zk = t/2, zk-1 = -t/2
[D] = [Q] (0.02134)
