Theory of Plates & Shells.4

This document contains exam questions for a Theory of Plates and Shells course. It includes 8 questions covering topics such as: 1) Finding constants of integration for the governing differential equation of a simply supported rectangular plate with a uniform load. 2) Deriving expressions for bending moments, curvatures, and deflections of simply supported and built-in plates with concentrated loads. 3) Deriving deflections of a rectangular plate with simply supported edges and a sinusoidal load. 4) Explaining developable and warped surfaces of singly and doubly curved shells of rotation and translation with examples.
