| dc.description.abstract | This study considers an infinite orthotropic plate on a frictionless elastic foundation subjected to a transverse point load. We are concerned with the stress distribution in the vicinity of the load application. Based on the assumption of a uniform stress distribution under the load, a Fourier Transform technique is utilized to formulate and solve the problem in the transform domain. The inverse transformation is carried out numerically, via the Gaussian Quadrature scheme, to obtain the real response. Symmetry of the transform response due to the material orthotropy has been used to reduce the effort involved in performing the integration. Results indicated a similar symmetric behavior for the real stress distribution, and satisfied the boundary conditions of the problem. The transverse equilibrium is also verified by summing up the reaction forces exerted by the foundation. | en |
