Abstract

This paper deals with the linear elastic behavior of thick orthotropic square plates on Winkler type elastic foundations with both compressional and tangential resistances. The finite element method with different isoparametric thick plate and brick elements are used to solve problems, which were previously solved by the finite difference method. Good agreement is found between the different methods with percentage difference about 1%.
