摘要
The energy variational formula based on the principle of minimum potential energy is proposed for the plates constrained at arbitrary points. As an instance, the orthotropic large deflection rectangular thin plates with four free edges and transverse displacement constraints under uniform transverse load are discussed. The generalized Fourier series are used as the trial functions of the transverse displacement and the stress function to establish the essential equations, which are linearized by means of the incremental method of load and displacement constraint. In the end of the paper, several computational results are compared with the former literature. Moreover, one typical example is demonstrated through advanced experimental technique. The result shows the accuracy is satisfied well.
