STUDY OF DEFECTS FOR A RECTANGULAR PLATE FREELY SUPPORTED ON CONTOUR

Abstract

In present paper we have conducted a study for locating and evaluating plate damage based on the determination of geometrical percentage deviation. Study of defects is of great importance because by a proper identification we are able to prevent loss part of component characteristics and endurance. We considered rectangular thin plates of various dimensions, under the influence of temperature. Impact of considered factor decreases with thickness of plate and in this scenario geometrical imperfections measured as deviations from ideal plate surface play a fundamental role in predicting the non-linear response.
