Abstract In a recent publication, the author has introduced boundary integral equations for thick plate bending problems, for cases with generalized types of loading. Internal bending moments and shear forces, required for stress analysis, were calculated by means of a finite difference procedure, which requires fine boundary element meshes to achieve an acceptable degree of accuracy. In this paper, boundary integral equations for internal bending moments and shear forces are presented for thick Reissner plates in bending. Domain loading terms in those boundary integral equations have also been simplified for a variety of loading types including concentrated loading, linearly-distributed loading, and… More >
