Extract

Recently the use of Maclaurin’s series was illustrated for the analysis of orthotropic plates. Formulae connecting the deflection of orthotropic plates to that of the corresponding isotropic plate are established here, thus eliminating the need for solving the characteristic equations of orthotropic plates. Rectangular plates with two opposite sides simply-supported and one of the other two sides elastically restrained against rotation are considered.
