Abstract
An approach to determine the stresses in a composite plate under a concentrated load on one edge and uniform load on the opposite edge is presented. It uses an exact solution of the governing partial differential equation obtained with the use of Fourier series. The solution is compared to finite element results and is found to be in excellent agreement. The solution to this problem can be used in the analysis of the effect of a stiffener termination in a panel or the transition from a stiffened panel to a sandwich or monolithic construction. Examples of dimensions and layup required to transfer the concentrated load into a composite plate are given.
