Abstract:

Taking into consideration an own weight when analyzing massive solids is rather important problem of the theory of elasticity and structural mechanics. Thick layered plates are often used as elements of various constructions. The method of initial functions (MIF) is very suitable for their analyzing. In this article the MIF algorithm for taking into account the stress from own weight is extended to analyze layered plates.
