On joint efficiency of composite anisotropic plate rigidly fixed along outside edges

Introduction. Modern processes of welding, surfacing, soldering and bonding provide producing structural elements of monolithic interconnected dissimilar anisotropic materials. The combination of different materials with qualities corresponding to certain operating conditions offer comprehensive facilities to improve the technical and economic characteristics of machines, equipment and structures. It can contribute to a significant increase in their reliability, durability, and to reduction of the production and operation costs. Materials and Methods. The work objective is to study the boundary state of stress of anisotropic composite plates in the framework of the classical theory of plate bending. The outer edges of the plate are considered free. Using the classical theory of bending of an anisotropic plate in the space of physical and geometric parameters, hypersurface equations are obtained that define low-stressed zones for the contact surface edge of a cylindrical orthotropic composite plate...
