    Abstract: Skew plates are important elements of many structures. The two-dimensional structural action of plates results in lighter structures and therefore offer numerous economic advantages. Their application is extensive in fields of engineering such as: civil, mechanical, architecture, and aerospace. Openings of various shapes are made in the skew plates... Show More
