Abstract
The deflection analyses performed using MSC/NASTRAN on skew plates under different loads such as (concentrated and uniformly distributed loads) for clamped boundary conditions are presented in the present study. The CQUAD4 and CQUAD8 components of MSC/NASTRAN are verified using values from the literature. The CQUAD8 element was employed in the present experiments because it had been found to produce more effective results than the CQUAD4 element. For isotropic skew plates, the variation of deflection with regards to aspect ratio and length to thickness ratio is provided. With an increase in the skew angle, it appears that the deflections decrease.
