Icing waveguide strength problem

Abstract In this paper, we conduct research of the waveguide strength under icing. Icing is assumed to be uniform along perimeter and length waveguide, so ice deposits considered in form an equivalent increase density structure. As a result, icing problem reduced gravitational bending waveguide. Waveguide has thin-walled rectangular cross-section; therefore, solution demand using theory plate. We model 4 plates that made it possible obtain analytical according plate theory. Also, makes identify features stress distribution both height cross-section refine results comparison with beams. The calculation developed method compared data obtained beam theory, which show good convergence showed convergence.
