Numerical research of static bending of plates at the local influences along complex form curves

Abstract

The numerical solution for the problems of static bending of thin plates by spline collocation method is considered. The local loads of a special type are used as external forces. Their efficiency as the approximation of concentrated loads applied along compound curves is estimated. The results obtained by this method are compared with thos calculated by finite element software.
