A variational principle due to E. Reissner has been rewritten in a form which is applicable to small deflection problems for thin plates. The modified principle is used to obtain approximations to static deflection and vibration problems of square and skew cantilever plates of uniform thickness.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
