Bending of an isotropic non-classical thin rectangular plate
Odunayo O. Fadodun and Adegbola P. Akinola

 
Abstract
    This study investigates the bending of an isotropic thin rectangular plate in finite deformation. Employing hyperelastic material of John\'s type, a non-classical model which generalizes the famous Kirchhoff\'s plate equation is obtained. Exact solution for deflection of the plate under sinusoidal loads is obtained. Finally, it is shown that the non-classical plate under consideration can be used as a replacement for Kirchhoff\'s plate on an elastic foundation.
