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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

When a circular plate of constant thickness is simply supported on a concentric ring and is subjected to a uniform normal pressure, there is a radius for the supporting ring giving optimum bending stress conditions in the plate. Assuming the plate deflections are small, it is concluded that the required supporting ring radius varies between 70·1 and 73·0 per cent of the outside radius of the plate, depending on the value of Poisson's Ratio for the plate material.
