The elastic rigidities of ribbed plates

This thesis deals with the flexural and twisting rigidities of orthotropic plates. Asymmetrically stiffened plates are examples of technically orthotropic plates and are found in civil engineering structures such as bridges and ribbed floor slabs. The formulae for the rigidities as found in the lite...
