To start w ith, this m ethod consid ers the sim p lest case
of a w afe slab having fou r ed ges sim p ly su p p orted
as show n in Figu re 1a. The slab can be consid ered as
grid w ork of p arallel beam s sp aced equ al d istance in
x and y d irections and rigid ly connected at the p oints
of interaction. Beam s are su p p orted at the end and the
load is ap p lied norm al to the x-y p lane as u niform ly
d istribu ted load (w kN / m 2).
For a sim p ly su p p orted beam p arallel to x-axis, the
d ifferential equ ation for static equ ilibrium for uniformly
d istribu ted load can be exp ressed as

Mallick and Bhu shan (1983) and Bhu shan (1983) have
fu r n ish ed solu tion s to th e p r oblem of an alysis by
consid ering the wafe slab as a grillage beam , provid ing
an ap p roxim ate solu tion to the system , w herein they
have clearly stated that their ap proach m ay only be u sed
for p relim inary d esign and that it m u st be su bstantiated
