Abstract

This paper derives the cubic spline beam function from the generalized beam differential equation and obtains the solution of the discontinuous polynomial under concentrated loads, concentrated moment and uniform distributed by using delta function. By means of Kantorovich method of the partial differential equation of elastic plates which is transformed by the generalized function (δ function and σ function), whether concentrated load, concentrated moment, uniform distributed load or small-square load can be shown as the discontinuous polynomial deformed curve in the x-direction and the y-direction. We change the partial differential equation into the ordinary equation by using Kantorovich method and then obtain a good approximate solution by using Glerkin's method. In this paper there are more calculation examples involving elastic plates with various boundary-conditions, various loads and various section plates, and the classical differential problems such as cantilever plates are shown.
