Series-Based Solution for Analysis of Simply Supported Rectangular Thin Plate with Internal Rigid Supports

In this study, Navier’s solution for the analysis of simply supported rectangular plates is extended to consider rigid internal supports. The proposed method offers a more accurate solution for the bending moment at the critical section and therefore serves as a better analytical solution for design...
