Abstract
The push bound problem is a very interesting one. When we push at a plate, sometime all plate goes ahead, sometime some place bounds. C. V. Coffman and R. J. Duffin[1], R. J. Duffin[2] and P. R. Garabedian[3] did good job in this field. Here, what we are considering is, for square plates, when we push at a given point, which points will bound. Using difference method and MATLAB, we deal with common material (like galss, steel, ...) and composite material square plates. The position where the load P acts on is from corner to center. The results are shown in case 1 and case 2.
