A4. Static Analysis of Plate Structures under Inplane Loading (Discs)
A4.1. Wall
Problem Description
A two dimensional disk, subjected to coplanar loading is examined (Figure A4.1.1).
Geometry, Properties and Loads
The plate of dimension 10mx5m has 20cm thickness and is subjected to an inplane
concentrated load of 50kN. Modulus of Elasticity is 29GPa and Poisson ratio ν=0.20. Plate
is fixed along its smaller sides and free along the others.

Assumptions
During analysis, theory of discs (plates under inplane loading) has been adopted.
Technical Features in ScadaPro Tested
Plate elements under inplane loading
Fixed boundary conditions
Results Comparison
Maximum values of inplane displacements along load direction obtained from ScadaPro
analysis and stresses at point B (Figure 4.1) are presented in Table A4.1.1 and A4.1.2
respectively and are compared with those obtained from Sap2000 and Abaqus software.
Moreover, in Figures A4.1.2- A4.1.3 contourlines of stresses σxx and σyy are presented.
