Extract

A solution is given of a problem already solved by Inglis, a rectangular plate stressed by the uniform longitudinal relative displacement of two opposite edges, the other pair of sides remaining free. The method used here yields a more accurate solution with greater rapidity than did the previous paper. The general form of the solution is given for a plate of any dimensions, and a plate of sides in the ratio 2:1 is considered in more detail. An approximate solution is obtained by taking four terms of an infinite series, and the consequent errors discussed and compared with those of Inglis.
