Plate bending analysis using finite element method

Abstract

In the modern day to day applications like in industries,ships,pressure vessels,and other structural components plates and shells play a major role so its very important to study their deformations and slopes under loads inorder to understand their behaviour and possible conditions of failure, one of the important factors on which the bending depends is on the load conditions and the support conditions.So in the present study different type of conditions of plate holding such as fixed clamping and simply supported conditions and free boundary conditions are applied on the rectangular plates and their deformations are plotted and verified with that of values obtained with general public licensed software LISA
