| Summary: | For the first time, the finite integral transform method is introduced to explore the accurate bending analysis of orthotropic rectangular thin plates with two adjacent edges free and the others clamped or simply supported. Previous solutions mostly focused on plates with simply supported and clamped edges, but the existence of free corner makes the solution procedure much complex to solve by conventional inverse/semi-inverse methods. Compared with the conventional methods, the employed method eliminates the need to preselect the deflection function, which makes it more reasonable and theoretical for calculating the mechanical responses of the plates. Moreover, the approach used can also analyze static problems of moderately thick plates and thick plates with the same boundary conditions investigated in this article. Finally, comprehensive analytical results obtained in this paper illuminate the validity of the proposed approach by comparing with the previous literature and finite element method by using (ABAQUS) software. |
