Stress Analysis of Triangular Cantilever Plates: A Theoretical Investigation using the Inextensional Theory for Thin Plates

Abstract

The stress distribution in triangular cantilever plates under a uniform normal load and under a tip load is investigated theoretically. Numerical solutions are presented for plates with angles of sweep from 0 deg. to 60 deg. and with tip angles of 30 deg., 45 deg., 60 deg., 75 deg. and 90 deg.
