On the finite element method for calculation of rectangular plates
The article is devoted to the study of bending problems for rectangular plates, which are of great applied importance and are found everywhere in various branches of science and technology. The calculation of plate bending is performed by the finite element method. In this article the structure of the method for calculating the deformed and stress state of a rectangular finite element of the plate is described, their main components are highlighted; the classical approach of calculating rectangular plates is characterized. The mathematical apparatus of the calculation is presented in the volume necessary for calculating the plates. This article is focused mainly on mechanics, physicists, engineers and technical specialists.
