B1Problem description
This section was machine-translated by DeepL.

When determining the stresses and strains in a glass plate, two different results are obtained depending on whether linear or non-linear plate theory is used. This is due to the strains being relatively large in relation to the plate thickness. The validity of linear plate theory is therefore lost. Diaphragm forces arise within the plate, which have a favourable effect on the stresses and strains.

This example is intended to verify whether the software programmes used are capable of determining the maximum principal tensile stress and deflection at the centre of a glass plate in accordance with non-linear plate theory.

The rectangular glass plate under consideration has dimensions b/a = 2000 mm / 1000 mm = 2. It has a plate thickness of d = 4 mm and is supported on all four sides by line supports. The supports are hinged and allow free displacement within the plane of the plate. The surface load is qd = 0.5 \mathrm{kN/m^2}; the dead weight is not taken into account. The glass has a modulus of elasticity E = 70,000 \mathrm{N/mm^2} and a Poisson’s ratio of ν = 0.23.
