On the gridwork analogy for plates
Abstract
T HE rectangular mesh gridwork analogy for plates is formally established by combining finite difference calculus and differential calculus methods. A comparison is made between the deflections and internal loads induced in a plate and in the equivalent gridwork. From this comparison the accuracy of an equivalent gridwork analysis can be estimated.
