Stiffness matrix solution for folded plates

A general analysis for a simply supported prismatic folded plate structure is presented. A stiffness matrix method is used with the individual plates taken as structural elements. When loads are applied to the structure the solution yields joint deflections and internal plate forces. The exact elast...
