Abstract:
An infinite elastic isotropic plate with an elliptical, physically nonlinear inclusion loaded at infinity by uniformly distributed moments is considered. Surface loads are absent. The problem of the stress-strain state of the plate is solved in a closed form. It is shown that, for reasonably general stress-strain relations for the inclusion, the bending-moment field (and the corresponding curvatures) in the inclusion is homogeneous.
Keywords:pure bending of an infinite plate, elliptical, physically nonlinear inclusion, homogeneous moment field.
