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 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 considers the effect of an elastic boundary restraint upon the deflection, moments, and critical (buckling) loads of a circular plate. The solutions given are based on the classical theory of plates and are exact within the assumptions underlying this theory. They include, as particular limiting cases, the known solutions for the simply supported and rigidly clamped edge. The physical significance of the results obtained is discussed in detail with particular emphasis upon the degree of restraint along the clamped edge.

A previous paper (1)∗described an analysis for plates that made use of non-linear large-deflection theory. The results of the analysis were compared with measurements of deflections and stresses in simply supported rectangular plates. In this paper the analysis has been used to calculate the stresses and deflections for clamped-edge plates and these have been compared with measurements made on plates of various aspect ratios. Good agreement has been obtained for the maximum values of these stresses and deflections. These maximum values have been plotted in such a form as to be easily usable by the designer of pressure-loaded clamped-edge rectangular plates.


Small transverse displacements of a flat elastic plate are governed by a single linear equation, but large displacements entail stretching of the middle surface and consequent tensions, which interacting with the curvatures (i.e. by 'membrane effect’) introduce non-linear terms into the conditions of equilibrium and so make those equations no longer independent. The second-order terms were formulated by von Kármán in 1910, but the amended (‘large deflexion’) equations have been solved only in a few cases, and then with considerable difficulty. In this paper four examples are treated approximately by a technique based on relaxation methods. The first and second are relatively simple problems which have been solved exactly and so serve as test cases, viz. ( a ) a circular plate, with clamped edge, which sustains a uniform transverse pressure and ( b ) a circular plate, with ‘simply supported’ edge, which buckles with radial symmetry under uniform edge thrust. The third and fourth examples present great difficulties to orthodox analysis: they are ( c ) a square plate, sustaining uniform transverse pressure, of which the edges are clamped, ( d ) a square plate buckled by actions which, clamping its edges, tend initially to induce a state of uniform shear.

A small deflection theory, consisting of differential equations and a total potential energy expression, is presented for determining the stresses and deformations in variable thickness elastic sandwich plates symmetric about a middle surface. The theory takes into account the contribution of the face-sheet membrane forces (by virtue of their slopes) to the transverse shear. A finite-difference formulation of the stationary total potential energy principle is presented along with an illustrative application.

SummaryThe paper presents a solution to the buckling under shear stress of infinitely long plates which are reinforced by both transverse stiffeners and longitudinal stiffeners. Each family of stiffeners is assumed to consist of equally spaced stiffeners. Both simply-supported and clamped edge conditions are examined. Numerical results are obtained for the case of a plate with transverse stiffeners and a central longitudinal stiffener and relationships between the buckling stress and the flexural rigidity parameters of the stiffeners are provided for three different spacings of the transverse stiffeners.

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.

Abstract An exact solution procedure is formulated for the free vibration and buckling analysis of rectangular plates having two opposite edges simply supported when these edges are subjected to linearly varying normal stresses. The other two edges may be clamped, simply supported or free, or they may be elastically supported. The transverse displacement (w) is assumed as sinusoidal in the direction of loading (x), and a power series is assumed in the lateral (y) direction (i.e., the method of Frobenius). Applying the boundary conditions yields the eigenvalue problem of finding the roots of a fourth order characteristic determinant. Care must be exercised to obtain adequate convergence for accurate vibration frequencies and buckling loads, as is demonstrated by two convergence tables. Some interesting and useful results for vibration frequencies and buckling loads, and their mode shapes, are presented for a variety of edge conditions and in-plane loadings, especially pure in-plane moments.

A theoretical investigation of the small deflections of a thin circular plate is reported. The plate has a flat circular clamp at the outer edge and a similar clamp at the inner edge, which is placed eccentrically. These supports can be arranged to prescribe either a clamped edge or a simply supported edge, and all combinations of the two types are investigated. The plate can be subjected to a concentrated load at the centre of the inner clamp, moments about two perpendicular axes of the inner clamp, or pressure on the plate surface between the clamps. Deflections and slopes of the inner clamp have been determined, and in all cases the new values tend towards established values for the case of a central inner clamp, as the eccentricity of the inner clamp is reduced.
