A DISCUSSION ON THE ANALYTICAL SOLUTION OF RECTANGULAR THIN SLAB UNDER TEMPERATURE LOAD WITH FOUR SIMPLY SUPPORTED EDGES
热载作用下四边简支矩形薄板解析解的商榷

Based on the small deflection plate theory, the equilibrium differential equation of isotropic thin slab with a temperature variation perpendicular to surface is deduced, by assuming a deflection function which satisfies the equilibrium differential equation and using the Levy method. An analytical solution is obtained for the case with four simply supported edges, which provides a basis for subsequent engineering calculations.
