The basic equations of deflection, slope, and moments for a thin, flat, circular plate subjected to a uniform load on a concentric circle were derived for four generalized cases. From these generalized cases, six simplified cases were deduced. The four generalized cases have the uniform load acting on a concentric circle of the plate between the inner and outer edges, with the following boundary conditions: (a) Outer edge supported and fixed, inner edge fixed; (b) outer edge simply supported, inner edge free; (c) outer edge simply supported, inner edge fixed; and (d) outer edge supported and fixed, inner edge free.

The basic equations of deflection, slope, and moment for a thin, flat, circular plate, under a symmetrical variable load, for a constant force divided by the square of the radial distance, have been developed. Six cases have been derived. The first four cases cover the variable load acting over the entire plate, viz., (a) fixed, supported, outer edge and fixed, inner edge, (b) simply supported, outer edge and free, inner edge, (c) simply supported, outer edge and fixed, inner edge, (d) fixed, supported, outer edge and free, inner edge; and the final two cases are for a solid plate having the acting variable load bounded by circles of an inner radius and the outer support-load-radius; i.e., (e) fixed, supported, outer edge and (f) simply supported, outer edge.

Rotating friction circular plates are the main components of a friction clutch. The vibration and temperature field of these friction circular plates in high speed affect the clutch operation. This study investigates the thermoelastic coupling vibration and stability of rotating friction circular plates. Firstly, based on the middle internal forces resulting from the action of normal inertial force, the differential equation of transverse vibration with variable coefficients for an axisymmetric rotating circular plate is established by thin plate theory and thermal conduction equation considering deformation effect. Secondly, the differential equation of vibration and corresponding boundary conditions are discretized by the differential quadrature method. Meanwhile, the thermoelastic coupling transverse vibrations with three different boundary conditions are calculated. In this case, the change curve of the first two-order dimensionless complex frequencies of the rotating circular plate with the dimensionless angular speed and thermoelastic coupling coefficient are analyzed. The effects of the critical dimensionless thermoelastic coupling coefficient and the critical angular speed on the stability of the rotating circular plate with simply supported and clamped edges are discussed. Finally, the relation between the critical divergence speed and the dimensionless thermoelastic coupling coefficient is obtained. The results provide the theoretical basis for optimizing the structure and improving the dynamic stability of friction clutches.

The large deflection of a clamped circular plate of variable thickness under uniform load has been investigated using von Karman’s equations. Numerical results obtained for the deflections and stresses at the center of the plate have been given in tabular forms.

In ref. (1) Pope presents a theoretical analysis of the buckling of rectangular plates tapered in thickness under uniform load in the direction of taper. An experimental investigation into the end load buckling problem for a plate having simply-supported edges with the sides prevented from moving normally in the plane of the plate is described in ref. (2). For these boundary conditions the theoretical solution is exact. However, the compatability equation is not satisfied exactly when the sides are free to move in the plane of the plate. This experimental investigation demonstrates that the buckling load is nevertheless adequately predicted by the analysis in these circumstances.

AbstractLimiting solutions are derived for the flexure of simply supported many-sided regular polygons, as the number of sides is increased indefinitely. It is shown that these solutions are different from those for simply supported circular plates. For axisymmetric loading, circular plate solutions overestimate the deflexions and the moments by significant factors.

Based on Brinson’s one-dimensional thermo-mechanical constitutive relations of shape memory alloys and the theory of thin plates in the von Kármán sense, the response of bending of a uniform heated circular plate embedded with SMA fibers in the radial directions and subjected to a uniform distributed mechanical load is studied. The characteristic curves of the central deflection versus temperature rise of the circular plate with both clamped and simply supported boundary conditions are obtained. The numerical results show that, the recovery forces of the pre-strained SMA caused by the phase transformation from martensite to austenite can modify the bending deformation significantly. So, it can be concluded that the bending deformation can be adjusted effectively and actively by embedment of the SMA fibers into the circular plates
