Abstract
The behaviour of a fibreglass plate, subjected to a simulated hydraulic pressure and supported by a steel frame along the edges through a neoprene gasket, is investigated. The plate is analyzed theoretically as an orthotropic continuum using a direct variational technique in accordance with the Rayleigh-Ritz method. The load-deformation behaviour and the mode of failure is examined experimentally. Theoretical and experimental results are correlated empirically through Poisson’s ratio.
