Abstract-

As a preliminary study of the structural characteristics of thin swept wings and fins,; the equations for the analysis of thin rectangular plates with one edge fixed are. developed in differential and finite difference form. Emphasis is: placed oh the finite difference equations and expressions are given for the determination of deflections, shearsj moments, and reactions for a rectangular plate with various combinations of fixed and free - edge conditions and transverse loadings.

A numerical evaluation is made of the deflections and stresses for a square plate fixed along one edge and carrying a load at the center of the other edge. These quantities are compared with experimental results. Beasonahle correlations (within about 5 percent:) between theoretical and experimental results are obtained.

Introduction

The present work is the beginning of ä more comprehensive project to determine the elastic and dynamic properties of skew plates which are similar to the sveptback fins used on supersonic guided missiles. The information to be obtained ultimately is expected to consist of elastic characteristics, such as the deflections., stress distributions, ©leietic axis positions and so forth for thin plates of low asp.ect ratio, with one edge clamped and three edges free.,, for various load conditions, as well as dynamic characteristics suchas modes of vibrations, natural frequencies^ and so forth. Analytical and experimental, procedures: are to he used. Such information should he of considerable, value in faciliteting the structural design of wings and fins and in providing much, needed information on. the structural phase of aerö- elastic problems.

In order to "prove in" methods and techniques, the relatively simple problem of the rectangular plate is first studied. This report consists of .an account of the plate equations ^or the static structural analysis p

the differential as well äs finite difference equations t in addition, ä numerical evaluation is presented for the deflections of a square rectangular cantilever plate with, a concentrated load applied at the center of the out- febkrd edge." Analytical results are compared with, test values.

It is expected that later reports will deal with the ©ore complete solutions of rectangular plateB with a Yäriety of loading and Will discuss the relative merits of methods of analysis such as the relaxation procedure and the solution of simultaneous equations, along with the effect of network size on the accuracy, of solutions of the. finite difference equations and the effect of Eoisson's ratio. Experimental results will also "be indicated. "A similar procedure will "be followed In presenting the. results of skew plate analyses.

Many investigators have solved a great variety öf plate problems. However, exact solution, by which is meant an analytical solution to the governing differential equations, have "been largely confined to rectangular or circular plates with the boundary ed^ss fixed, simply supported, or a combination of fixed, free and simply supported. An example of this type of solution is that of the "rectangular plate with two opposite edges simply supported, the third edge free and the fourth edge built in or Bimply supported" given by Timoshenko^' on page 215 of "Theory of Plates and Shells"» The problems of the skew plate or the rectangular plate with more complicated

the great Complexity of obtaining an "exact" solution or the tremendous labor involved in obtaining approximate numerical solutions by means of finite difference equations or other methods. Some work? however, has been done on . these problems by means of finite difference equations. For example, Jensen*2' solves a number of skew plate, problems for a. variety of lateral loads With two opposite edges simply supported and the other two edges free or elastically supported. HallOi has solved fche problem of ä cantilever rectangular plate for which the fixed edge is four times the cantilever length and which carries a concentrated load at the center of the outboard edge.

differential ^Equations

The equations of equilibrium of an element of thin plate in terms of rectangular coordinates save well known (see reference 1) and will only be cited here. The directions -corresponding to positive quantities are shown in Figure 1.

The equations are limited "by the following assumptions.

dimensions.

2. Deformations are snail so that the curvature is apprcximted "by

3. Stretching of the middle surface of the plat® is not considered.

Th.3. laBt assuHptioa has as a coroHary| the fact that the deflection is eipail coshered vith the thickness of the plat© for certain 'boun&ary conditions. If this assumption is not made, then the so-called large deflection theory must "foe used which takes into account the effect of the msabrans forces in which case the relation "between load and deflection is not linear. Fortunately,, our experiments show that for the "boundary conditions used corresponding to the cantilever plat*©* the load and deflections are essentially linear up to a deflection of at least 20 times the plate thickness. Hence, the use of the linear theory se@ss justified in this particular profit».

Other conditions have "been determined in a similar manner and the results are tabulated, Table I gives the relations between the deflections and loads for various points on the plate. Tables II and III schematically indicate the same information for the special case in which [x=0 and ji=0'."3 respectively.

By means of the relations in Table I, a set of simultaneous equations can be determined representing the relationship between loads and deflections for a rectangular plate with various boundary conditions. Thase_ equations are then solved to determine the deflections for specified loadings. An application to a specific problem is given in a later section.

Moments, Shears and Reactions

After the simultaneous equations have been solved for the deflections, the moments, shears and reactions if any, can be determined at each point by means of equations (jj) providing the deflections specified in the equations are on the plate. In the case that the moment, shear^ or reaction expression is in terms of deflections off of the plate, then the expressions must be modified by the application of the boundary conditions so that the points external to the plate are eliminated. This procedure is similar to that used before so that only the results will be indicated. Table I? gives the expressions for moments, shears and reactions for points on or near various edges.

Principal Moments and Maximum Stress

In order to determine the maximum stress at a point, the maximum value of the moment should be known. The maximum and minimum values of the moments at a point are called the principal moments and they can be determined by combining the bending moments and twisting moments in the arbitrarily chosen x and y directions according to the following relation.

A square network is imposed on the half plate so that there are 12 abodes or grid points to he considered in addition to those along the fixed edge for which the deflections are zero*

The values of the minimum principal stresses determined "by es^eritoent did not check the calculated values nearly as closely as the corresponding values for the mxitsum stresses. These values are fairly emll so that sisall arror may mk© a considerahl© difference so that even the sign of the quantity say be effected.
