EXACT SOLUTION FOR CYLINDRICAL BENDING

As per the study of Pagano for cylindrical bending on laminated plates, each layer
is orthotropic and has principal material directions aligned with the plate axes. The plate
is infinitely long in y direction. When subjected to a transverse load p=p(x), p is
independent of y, the plate deforms into a cylinder:
u=u(x); v=0 and w=w(x).
The plate is in a state of plane strain in the XZ plane. Since v=0 and the plate is infinitely
long in y direction converts the base equilibrium equations (22),(23) and (24) into
-------------- (25)
-------------- (26)
------------ (27)
Since we assume that the principal material axes is aligned with the plate axes. Equation
(26) vanishes as
From (25)
