BENDING OF THE TRIANGULAR ORTHOTROPIC PLATE WITH HOMOGENEOUS AND COMBINED BOUNDARY CONDITIONS
The article describes the problem of transverse bending of elastic orthotropic plates in the form of rhombs, loaded with a evenly distributed load, with combined and with homogeneous boundary conditions. For these plates the values of the maximum deflection obtained by FEM to construct an approximating function whose arguments are the shape factor and the ratio of flexural rigidity. These functions can be directly used for finding of values of the maximum deflection of rhombic plates, or to obtain reference values for solving the problem of transverse bending of orthotropic plates in the form of parallelogram using the interpolation technique by shape factor.
