A thin rectangular orthotropic plate is simply supported and loaded by uniformly distributed pressure. The directions of axes x and y coincide with the principal directions. Determine la deformación máxima de la placa sin considerar el peso propio.
Este ejemplo sirve como demostración de la coacción del diafragma. The application is shown on a two-story structure. The structure is loaded by means of lateral forces according to Figure 1. Determine the maximum deflection of the structure ux in the direction of the loading forces using both the diaphragm constraint and the plate model of the floor.
El objetivo de este ejemplo es demostrar un proceso irreversible causado por la fricción. After the loading and unloading, the end-point is in a different position than where it was at the beginning. Determine the movement of the node in the X direction.
A cantilever beam with an I-beam cross-section of length L is defined. The beam has five mass points with masses m acting in the X-direction. Se omite el peso propio. The frequencies, mode shapes, and equivalent loads of this 5-DOF system are analytically calculated and compared with the results from RSTAB and RFEM.
