Extract

A general method of solution for rectangular plates with clamped edges and any kind of loading has been developed by Professor S. P. Timoshenko. The present paper gives the results of calculations using this method for the maximum deflection, moment, and edge shears for rectangular plates of various proportions with all four edges clamped and loaded by a single concentrated load at the centre. Similar data for a clamped rectangular plate with a uniformly distributed load have been given by I. A. Wojtaszak and also T. H. Evans. A report of an experimental investigation of this problem with some analytical results has been given by R. G. Sturm and R. L. Moore.
