Transverse displacements of a circular plate containing a radial crack are considered using classical small-deflection theory. Particular sets of boundary conditions on the circumferential edge are derived which require either infinite or zero radial slopes at the root of the crack, and these results are discussed in relation to previous work in this field.

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 Using classical small-deflection theory, an investigation was made of the effects of boundary conditions and initial out-of-roundness on the strength of cylinders subject to external hydrostatic pressure. The equations developed in this paper for initially out-of-round cylinders with clamped ends, and a slightly modified form of the equations previously derived by Bodner and Berks for simply supported ends, were applied to some actual test results obtained from nine steel cylinders which had been subjected to external hydrostatic pressure. Three semiempirical methods for determining the initial out-of-roundness of the cylinders also were investigated and these are described in the paper. The investigation indicates that if the initial out-of-roundness is determined in a manner similar to that suggested by Holt then the correlation between the experimental and theoretical results is quite good. The investigation also indicates that while the difference in collapse pressures for clamped-end and simply supported perfect cylinders may be quite considerable, this does not appear to be the case when initial out-of-roundnesses of a practical magnitude are considered.

The buckling loads are found for the simply supported and clamped-edge conditions for a circular plate on a springy foundation under the action of edge loading in the middle surface of the plate. The small deflection theory of bending of thin elastic plates has been used.

Abstract A solution is obtained for the case of the clamped semicircular plate of constant thickness, subjected to a uniformly distributed normal load. The method employed is superposition of solutions for a circular plate with fixed edges. The technique involved could be extended to study more general types of loading of the clamped semicircular plate. Results are based on the assumption that the Kirchhoff, or small deflection, theory applies.

The large deflection elastic-plastic bending of a circular plate subjected to radially outward acting bending moments uniformly distributed around its circumference is analyzed, and computer programs are given to facilitate the determination of the distributions of bending moments, in-plane forces, and displacements during the bending and after unloading or springback. Computed examples are given, and the errors developed by small deflection theory are discussed.

The transient dynamic response of an elastic circular plate subjected to a suddenly applied pressure is determined for several edge boundary conditions. The plate boundary is attached to a semi-infinite, radially rigid tube which is filled with an acoustic fluid, and pressure is applied to the in-vacuo side of the plate. The transient solution is determined by using a technique in which the plate is subjected to a periodic pressure function constructed of appropriately signed and time-shifted Heaviside step functions, and by relying on a physical mechanism which returns the plate and fluid near the plate to an unstrained state of rest between pulses. The plate response is presented for a number of radius-to-thickness ratios and edge boundary conditions when interacting with water. Comparisons are also made with solutions obtained using a plane wave approximation to the fluid field.

Abstract This paper presents a method for predicting endpoint coordinates, stress, and force to deflect stepped cantilever beams under large deflections. This method, the Mixed-Body Model or MBM, combines small deflection theory and the Pseudo-Rigid-Body Model for large deflections. To analyze the efficacy of the model, the MBM is compared to a model that assumes the first step in the beam to be rigid, to finite element analysis, and to the numerical boundary value solution over a large sample set of loading conditions, geometries, and material properties. The model was also compared to physical prototypes. In all cases, the MBM agrees well with expected values. Optimization of the MBM parameters yielded increased agreement, leading to average errors of <0.01 to 3%. The model provides a simple, quick solution with minimal error that can be particularly helpful in design.

Based on the equivalence principle, the concentrated vertical load which acts on the Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement(CRCP) transverse crack is translated into the equivalent half-wave sine load by Fourier transform. According to the translation principle of the force, the half-wave sine vertical load acting on the CRCP transverse crack is decomposed to the half-wave sine vertical load and the torsion force acting on the center of CRCP. Lastly, the deflection, torsional displacement and stress formulas of CRCP under the concentrated vertical load with hollow foundation are put forward, which is on the basis of the small deflection theory of elastic thin plate and torsion theory. The results show that increasing the slab thickness is the most effective measure to reduce maximal deflection, distortion displacement and stress of CRCP concentrated vertical load with hollow foundation.

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.

Abstract The problems associated with maintaining truly fixed (zero displacement and slope) or simple (zero displacement and moment) boundary conditions in applications involving vibrating structures have led to the development of models which admit slight rotation and displacement at the boundaries. In this paper, numerical examples demonstrating the dynamics of a model for a circular plate with imperfectly clamped boundary conditions are presented. The latitude gained when using the model for estimating parameters through fit-to-data techniques is also demonstrated. Through these examples, the manner in which the model accounts for the physical manifestation of imperfectly clamped edges is illustrated, and issues regarding the use of the model in physical experiments are defined.
