ASSIGNMENT

1. Derive Equation of three shears.

2. A folded plate with two folds AB and BC is subjected to moments in the

plane of the plates. Using the following data, calculate the stress in the
folded plate.

Thickness of plate= 80mm

Depth of plates, h1=h2=3m

Moment in plates, M1 = M2 = 400 KN-m

A C

3. In what way the stresses differ if the plate structure is analysed as a beam
spanning horizontally between the traverses.

4. Explain isotropic and orthotropic plates.

5. What are different types of folded plates and explain them with neat
diagrams.
