Approximate solution for bending of rectangular plates. Kantorovich- Galerkin's method (Q1071567)

This paper derives the cubic spline beam function from the generalized beam differential equation and obtains the solution of the discontinuous polynomial under concentrated loads, concentrated moment and uniformly distributed load by using the delta function. We change the partial differential equation into an ordinary equation by using the Kantorovich method and then obtain a good approximate solution by using Galerkin's method. Examples involving elastic plates with various boundary- conditions, various loads and various section plates, and the classical differential problems such as cantilever plates are shown.
