Application of the successive approximation method to the analysis of bending plates

Abstract

This work presents an algorithm for calculating the bending plates of medium thickness according to the Reissner’. To obtain numerical results, the method of successive approximations (MSA) is used. This method has high accuracy and fast convergence, which was confirmed by the solution of a range of tasks. Publication of the results of the calculation of plates of medium thickness with the boundary conditions revised here is supposed to be in the following articles.
