UNIVERSITY OF LAGOS, AKOKA. DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL & ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING, M. Sc (Structures) 2015/2016 Session. CLASS TEST CEG 889: THEORY OF PLATES & SHELLS instruction: Attempt ALL Questions Time Allowed: 1% Hours 1 Qi] circutar plate whose diameter is 2.54m and whose thickness is 12. 7mm is simply supported at its edge and subjected to a uniformly distributed pressure of intensity q. KN/m. Determine the value of q, if the maximum radial stress at the centre of the plate is equal to 103.5 MPa. Determine also the maximum deflection for this pressure. (Take Y) =0.2 and € = 208 KN/mm2) (25 Marks) Q2. The elastic deflection of a square plate of sides_a, when subjected to a Particular lateral load represented by the function q (x, y) is given by the expression: Way) = WoCes-$¥ Cos 374 , Where X and ¥ are rectangular coordinates measured from an origin at the centre of the plate and Wo is the deflection of the centre of the plate. Determine ; i. _ The loading function,( 5 Marks) ii. The nature of the Support conditions of the Plate, (5 Marks) ili, The Bending and Twisting Moments at the centre of the Plate,( 9 Marks) \v.
