Analytical solution nonrectangular plate with in-plane Variable stiffness Tian-chong YU， Guo-jun NIE， Zheng ZHONG， Fu-yun CHU (School of Aerospace Engineering and Applied Mechanics, Tongji University,Shanghai , P.R. China) Abstract: The bending problem of a thin rectangular plate with in-plane variable stiffness is studied. The basic equation is formulated for the two-opposite-edge simply supported rectangular plate under the distributed loads. The formulation is based on the assumption that the flexural rigidity of the plate varies in the plane following a power form，and Poisson’s ratio is constant．A fourth-order partial differential equation with variable coefficients is derived by assuming a Levy-type form for the transverse displacement. The governing equation can be transformed into a Whittaker equation，and an analytical solution is obtained for a thin rectangular plate subjected to the distributed loads．The validity of the present solution is shown by comparing the present results with those of the classical solution．The influence of in-plane variable stiffness on the deflection and bending moment is studied by numerical examples．The analytical solution presented here is useful in the design of rectangular plates with in-plane variable stiffness.
