    Question 1: Deflection of a Rectangular Plate

    A simply supported rectangular plate with dimensions a=2 ma = 2 \, \text{m}a=2m and b=1 mb = 1 \, \
    text{m}b=1m is subjected to a uniform distributed load q=500 N/m2q = 500 \, \text{N/m}^2q=500N/m2.
    Using the Kirchhoff-Love plate theory, derive an expression for the deflection w(x,y)w(x, y)w(x,y).
    Assume the plate is isotropic with E=200 GPaE = 200 \, \text{GPa}E=200GPa, ν=0.3\nu = 0.3ν=0.3, and
    thickness h=0.01 mh = 0.01 \, \text{m}h=0.01m.

    Solution 1

    1. Governing Equation:
    The governing equation for plate deflection is:

    ∇4w=qD\nabla^4 w = \frac{q}{D}∇4w=Dq

    where D=Eh312(1−ν2)D = \frac{Eh^3}{12(1-\nu^2)}D=12(1−ν2)Eh3 is the flexural rigidity.

    2. Flexural Rigidity:

    D=200×109(0.01)312(1−0.32)=1.92 NmD = \frac{200 \times 10^9 (0.01)^3}{12 (1 - 0.3^2)} = 1.92 \, \


    text{Nm}D=12(1−0.32)200×109(0.01)3=1.92Nm

    3. Boundary Conditions:
    For a simply supported plate, deflection and bending moments are zero along the edges.

    4. Solution (Series Expansion):


    The solution can be expressed as:

    w(x,y)=∑m=1∞∑n=1∞Wmnsin⁡(mπxa)sin⁡(nπyb)w(x, y) = \sum_{m=1}^\infty \sum_{n=1}^\infty W_{mn} \


    sin\left(\frac{m\pi x}{a}\right)\sin\left(\frac{n\pi y}{b}\right)w(x,y)=m=1∑∞n=1∑∞Wmnsin(amπx
    )sin(bnπy)

    where Wmn=16qπ6Da4m2n2(m2a2+n2b2)2W_{mn} = \frac{16q}{\pi^6 D} \frac{a^4}{m^2 n^2 \left(\


    frac{m^2}{a^2} + \frac{n^2}{b^2}\right)^2}Wmn=π6D16qm2n2(a2m2+b2n2)2a4.

    Substituting the given values:

    W11=16×500π6×1.92241212(1222+1212)2W_{11} = \frac{16 \times 500}{\pi^6 \times 1.92} \frac{2^4}


    {1^2 1^2 \left(\frac{1^2}{2^2} + \frac{1^2}{1^2}\right)^2}W11=π6×1.9216×5001212(2212+1212)224

    Compute W11W_{11}W11 and higher-order terms for numerical results.

    Question 3: Membrane Stresses in a Spherical Shell

    A spherical shell of radius R=2 mR = 2 \, \text{m}R=2m and thickness h=0.02 mh = 0.02 \, \


    text{m}h=0.02m is subjected to an internal pressure p=0.5 MPap = 0.5 \, \text{MPa}p=0.5MPa.
    Determine the membrane stresses (hoop and meridional) in the shell.

    Solution 3

    1. Membrane Stress Equations:


    The hoop stress σθ\sigma_\thetaσθ and meridional stress σϕ\sigma_\phiσϕ for a spherical shell
    are given by:

    σθ=σϕ=pR2h\sigma_\theta = \sigma_\phi = \frac{pR}{2h}σθ=σϕ=2hpR

    2. Substitute Values:

    σθ=σϕ=0.5×106×22×0.02=25 MPa\sigma_\theta = \sigma_\phi = \frac{0.5 \times 10^6 \times 2}{2 \


    times 0.02} = 25 \, \text{MPa}σθ=σϕ=2×0.020.5×106×2=25MPa

    Question 4: Buckling of a Cylindrical Shell

    A cylindrical shell with radius R=1 mR = 1 \, \text{m}R=1m, length L=3 mL = 3 \, \text{m}L=3m, and
    thickness h=0.01 mh = 0.01 \, \text{m}h=0.01m is subjected to an axial compressive load. Determine the
    critical buckling pressure. Assume E=210 GPaE = 210 \, \text{GPa}E=210GPa and ν=0.3\nu = 0.3ν=0.3.

    Solution 4

    1. Critical Buckling Pressure Formula:

    Pcr=2Eh2R2(1−ν2)P_{\text{cr}} = \frac{2E h^2}{R^2 (1 - \nu^2)}Pcr=R2(1−ν2)2Eh2

    2. Substitute Values:

    Pcr=2×210×109×(0.01)212(1−0.32)=6.42 MPaP_{\text{cr}} = \frac{2 \times 210 \times 10^9 \times


    (0.01)^2}{1^2 (1 - 0.3^2)} = 6.42 \, \text{MPa}Pcr=12(1−0.32)2×210×109×(0.01)2=6.42MPa
