Problem 8.15 from Plates and Shells: Analysis and Design, by Ugural. Derive an expression for the deflection of an orthotropic clamped rectangular plate under a uniform load p0(Figure 5.19). Assume, by setting ma=m and 2nb=n
w=mnamn(1-cosmx)(1-cosny)
Use the Ritz method by retaining the first term of the series solution. Find the maximum deflection if a=b.
