Abstract A solution is obtained by means of the Ritz method for the “large-deflection” problem of a clamped elliptical plate of constant thickness, subjected to a uniformly distributed load. Two shapes of elliptical plate are treated, in addition to the limiting cases of the circular plate and infinite strip, for which the exact solutions are known. Center deflections as well as total stresses at the center and edge decrease as one proceeds from the infinite strip through the elliptical shapes to the circular plate, holding the width of the plates constant. The relation between edge-stress at the semiminor axis (maximum stress in the plate) and center deflection is found to be practically independent of the proportions of the elliptical plate. Hence the governing stress may be determined from a single curve for a given load on an elliptical plate of arbitrary dimensions, if the center deflection is known.

Abstract The problem of small-deflection theory applicable to plates of cylindrically aeolotropic material has been developed, and expressions for moments and deflections produced have been found by Carrier in some symmetrical cases under uniform lateral loadings and with different boundary conditions. The author has also found the moments and deflection in the case of an unsymmetrical bending of a plate loaded by a distribution of pressure of the form p = p0r cos θ, with clamped edge. The object of the present paper is to investigate the problem of the bending of a cylindrically aeolotropic circular plate of uniform thickness under a concentrated load P applied at a point A at a distance b from the center, the edge being clamped.

Abstract This paper develops a method for the evaluation of deflections, moments, shears, and stresses of a circular or ring-shaped plate on an elastic foundation under transverse loads. A series solution is derived for plates subjected to edge and/or concentrated loads and is given in terms of tabulated functions. It is exact within the assumptions underlying the classical theory of plates and includes, as a particular case, the known solution of the corresponding radially symmetric problem. Two examples displaying radial asymmetry are worked. A solution is given for (a) a circular plate resting on an elastic foundation, clamped at the boundary and subjected to an arbitrarily placed concentrated load, and (b) a plate of infinite extent, resting on an elastic foundation and clamped to the boundary of a rigid circular disk to which a pure moment is applied.
