1) What is the governing differential equations for w0 x , x for the TBT if the beam
material obeys the following nonlinear material model:
x A x B xm where m is an integer.
Consider plane-stress large deformation strain field (namely, E11, E12 and E22) and derive the
equivalent relations.
where D and are elastic constants, and w is the deflection (in the z direction) of the center-
plane of the plate. Show that the following is the proper governing differential equation for w:
5) Starting with a cubic distribution of the displacements through the plate thickness in terms of
unknown functions f1 , f 2 , g1 , g 2 , h1 , h2
determine the functions fi , gi , hi in terms of w0 ,x , y such that the following conditions are
satisfied:
