Abstract
The response of a rectangular plate to a moving load is investigated. An improved plate theory which includes the effects of shear deformation and rotatory inertia as well as normal stress to the plate surface is introduced and the equation of motion in terms of single displacement is derived. Solutions are obtained by applying Fourier transforms. The effects of the approximation methods of the plate theory on the response of the displacement and the stress couples are examined with regard to the load velocity, plate dimensions, etc., in addition to the comparison with the results due to the classical plate theory.
