Abstract

The objective of this paper is to present the study of stress distribution in a rectangular plate made of isotropic material by using transition theory. The analysis also includes the neutral surface separating the tension and compression region. It has been observed that circumferential stresses are maximal at the neutral surface of the rectangular plate made of incompressible material as compared to the rectangular plate when it is made of compressible material. Numerical results are shown graphically.

Keywords: • isotropic material • plate • stress • tension • compression
