Abstract This investigation was carried out with the object of obtaining a solution to the problem of a symmetrically loaded circular plate with a central hole, the thickness of the plate at any section being proportional to the distance of the section from the center of the plate. Six particular cases were investigated, and the values of the maximum stress and deflection calculated for various ratios of the external diameter of the plate to the diameter of the central hole. These values were compared with the corresponding values obtained for plates of constant thickness by A. M. Wahl and G. Lobo (1).

Abstract In a recent paper a solution was given to the problem of a symmetrically loaded circular plate with a central hole, the thickness of the plate at any section being proportional to the distance of the section from the center of the plate. A very simple solution can be obtained for another variation of thickness of which the foregoing is a special case.

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.

Axi-symmetric buckling of a circular plate having different material properties in the radial and circumferential directions was analysed in ref. 1. A plate with constant thickness and subjected to a uniform edge compression was considered. The plate edge was assumed clamped or simply-supported. The analysis of ref. 1 is extended to include plates with thickness variation in the radial direction.

Abstract The most practical problem in the bending of symmetrically loaded circular plates of variable thickness is probably that in which the thickness decreases linearly with the distance from the center of the plate. A general solution of the small-deflection problem of such plates is given here in closed form for the special case when Poisson’s ratio is 1/3. Numerical results are given for two particular examples, and these are compared with the results for corresponding plates of constant thickness.

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.

The relationship between the maximum deflections from a static uniformly distributed load W0 and the fundamental frequency of natural transverse vibrations of a round isotropic plate of linearly variable thickness with thickening to the edge under homogeneous conditions of support along the outer contour, depending on the ratio of the thickness of the plate in the center to the thickness along the edge, is considered. According to the results of the study, graphs of the dependence of the maximum deflection and the frequency of natural vibrations of the plate on the ratio t1 / t2 are constructed. It is shown that for round plates of linearly variable thickness at t1/t2<1.1 coefficient K with an accuracy of 5.9% coincides with the analytical coefficient for round plates of constant thickness. Numerical studies shows that when the ratio of the thicknesses on the contour and in the center is equal to two, the difference in the coefficient K, which depends on the relationship between the static and dynamic characteristics of the platinum, is about 25% for hinged support along the contour and up to 37% for rigid support. This indicates a more significant effect of uneven mass distribution for such boundary conditions.
