8 Double finite integral transform method is proposed in this paper to obtain the analytical bending
9
10 solutions of moderately thick rectangular plates with all edges free resting on elastic foundations,
11
12
which was difficult to be acquired due to the complexity of the mathematical model. The
13 accuracy of the method is validated by the literature as well as the finite element method (FEM).
14
15 The solution approach presented here can be used to solve the problems of plates with different
16
17 boundary conditions in an elegant, step-by-step way without predetermining any trial solutions.

19 The results obtained in this paper can serve as benchmarks for future reference.

25 1. Introduction
26
27
28
The most commonly used moderately thick plate theories are those proposed by Reissner [1,
29
30 2] and Mindlin [3], both of which incorporate the effect of transverse shear deformation. Based
31
32 on these theories, extensive researches on seeking the bending solutions of rectangular thick
33
34 plates have been conducted. Although the endeavor has been made for many years, only few
35
36 analytical solutions were obtained such as for the plates with the opposite edges simply
37
38 supported [4], which is due to the complexity of the governing equations as well as the boundary
39 conditions. For the plates with the other combinations of boundary conditions, the analytical
40
41 solutions are still not desirable.
42
43 The aim of this paper is to present the benchmark analytical solutions of the rectangular thick
44
45 plates with all edges free resting on elastic foundations. There has been a large literature on
46
47 solving the bending problems of such plates with numerical methods [510]. Henwood et al. [5]
48
49 developed a finite difference bending solution of a thick rectangular plate resting on a Winkler
50 foundation and carrying an arbitrary transverse load using a central difference scheme. Qin [6]
51
52 established a hybrid Trefftz finite element model to obtain the numerical solutions for thick
53
54 plates on elastic foundation based on a modified variational principle. Rashed et al. [7] applied
55
56 the boundary element method to thick plate resting on Winkler foundations, where the

 fundamental solutions were constructed using operator decoupling technique. Liu [8] performed
the static analysis of rectangular thick plates on Winkler foundation by developing the
two-dimensional differential quadrature element method, by which some numerical results for
SSSS, CCCC and SFSF plates were presented. Buczkowski and Torbacki [9] built a finite
element model for bending analysis of rectangular and circular thick plates resting on a
two-parameter elastic foundation. Ferreira et al. [10] dealt with the bending of simply supported
or clamped thick plates on Winkler foundations by a wavelet collocation method which is based
on the use of the autocorrelation functions of Daubechies compactly supported wavelets.
Compared to various numerical solutions, there are few references dealing with the problems by
1
2 analytical methods. Henwood et al. [11] derived the Fourier series solution for the bending of
3
4 thick rectangular plates resting on Winkler foundations by the sum of two trial double series and
5 a particular solution. Shi et al. [12] analyze the similar plate on a Pasternak foundation using the
6
7 superposition method. Of so many achievements on the related problems, we have named a few
8
9 but this never obscures the importance of the others.
10
11 Integral transform technique is one of the effective tools to solve the partial differential
12
13 equations [13], which has been applied successfully to obtain the analytical solutions of some
14
15 engineering problems, including those based on the theory of elasticity [14]. In recent years, the
16 finite integral transform method has been extended for bending and vibration analysis of
17
18 rectangular thin plates [1517], which demonstrated the rationality and accuracy compared to the
19
20 conventional analytical methods such as the semi-inverse method. Consequently, more analytical
21
22 solutions which were unavailable are expected to be obtained. It is the purpose of this paper to
23
24 derive the double finite integral transform solutions to the title problems, which have not been
25
26
reported before, to the knowledge of the authors. Several examples are given to verify the
27 method and to present the benchmark results for future comparison. The method is not limited to
28
29 specific issues like the title problems, but applicable to the plates with any other combinations of
30
31 boundary conditions. Further studies on more unsolved boundary value problems are being
32
33 conducted with the present approach.

m 0, 1, 2 .
8
9 constants I m , J m , K n and Ln ; n 0, 1, 2 In practice, a finite number of
10
11 equations including a finite number of constants are solved. Let Eqs. (18) and (19) hold for
12
13 n 0, 1, 2, , N 1 and N , respectively, and Eqs. (20) and (21) hold for m 0, 1, 2, , M 1
14
15 and M , respectively, where M and N are positive integers. Accordingly, instead of , M
16
17 is taken in Eqs. (18) and (19) and N is taken in Eqs. (20) and (21) to be the upper limit of
18
19
summation. Therefore, we have N 1 equations from Eqs. (18) and (19), respectively, and
20 M 1 equations from Eqs. (20) and (21), respectively. In total, there are 2M 2 N 4
21
22 equations for solving the same number of constants Im , Jm , Kn and Ln
23
24
25 m 0, 1, 2 , M ; n 0, 1, 2 , N . Substituting the obtained I m , J m , K n and Ln into Eq.
26
27 (17) then into Eqs. (5a-c) leads to analytical bending solutions of the plate. The desired precision
28
29 can be achieved by obtaining enough constants in calculation.
30
31
32 3. Numerical examples
33
34
35 In the following, three examples are given to validate the proposed approach and to confirm
36
37 its accuracy. For the sake of convenience, the same number of the four set of constants are taken
38
39 in the calculation, i.e., M =N . It should be noted that the number M N adopted depend
40
41 greatly on the accuracy goal. To obtain the highly accurate benchmark solutions, the maximum
42
43 value of M N is set to be 1500 in this study such that all the solutions converge up to the last
44
45 significant figure of four, as presented in all the tables. In Examples 1 and 2, the Fourier series
46
47 solutions found in Ref [11] are listed for comparison. However, Due to the lack of more exact
48
49 analytical results, all predictions are verified by the finite element analysis by ABAQUS software
50
51 package [19], where the thick shell element S8R is used and 40000 square elements with the
52
53
same size are adopted to obtain the convergent solutions. Excellent agreement is observed
54 between FEM and the present method.

31 4. Conclusions
32
33
34 The double finite integral transform technique for analytical bending solutions of moderately
35
36 thick rectangular foundation plates is proposed. By this solution method, a concise yet very
37
38 useful procedure is presented to settle the problems of foundation plates with all edges free. The
39 main advantages of the adopted approach are its generalization, accuracy, and stylization. These
40
41 merits enable the solutions of moderately thick rectangular plates with other combinations of
42
43 clamped, free, and simply supported boundary conditions. In our future work, the problems of
44
45 plates with other less-common but useful supports such as point supports and spring supports
46
47 might well be solved analytically with the similar approach, which would, expectantly, develop
48
49 inspiring extensions in the field.
