SummaryAn exact solution for the symmetrical buckling under uniform radial thrust is obtained for a thin circular plate having a particular type of thickness function for the cases in which the edge of the plate is either clamped or simply-supported. In both cases it is found that the critical thrust necessary to produce buckling can be increased from its value for the uniform circular plate of the same material and volume by concentrating material in the central region of the plate. For the clamped plate the increase is about 18 per cent and for the simply-supported plate about 29 per cent.

ABSTRACTAn exact solution in finite terms is derived within the limitations of the classical thin-plate theory, for the problem of a thin circular plate acted upon normally by hydrostatic pressure distributed over the area of a concentric ellipse, and subject to boundary conditions covering the usual rigidly clamped and simply supported boundaries.

Abstract The complex variable method is used to find the deflection, bending and twisting moments, and shearing forces at any point of a thin circular plate normally loaded over a sector and supported at its edge under a general boundary condition including the usual clamped and simply supported boundaries. In this way separate treatments for these two cases are avoided and a single treatment is available.

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.

A new method was presented by utilizing the structural circumferential periodicity of the inertia excitation due to the concentrated masses to compute the transverse vibration for thin circular plate carrying concentrated masses. Comparison between the calculated fundamental frequency coefficients and those from other approaches validates the method. And then, the point mobility matrices and the power flows were solved on the basis of modal function solutions and the analytical results of simply supported case were presented. Finally, the parametric effect of the single concentrate mass on the power flows was investigated.

AbstractWithin the limitations of the classical small deflexion theory of thin plates and using complex variable methods, exact expressions are obtained in series form for the deflexion at any point of a thin isotropic circular plate simply supported along a concentric circle and subject to loading symmetrically distributed over an eccentric circular patch which lies inside the circle of support. In special and limiting cases the solutions reduce to those obtained before.


In connection with the problem of submarine signalling the question arose as to the pitch of the fundamental note of a thin circular plate or diaphragm of given material and dimensions, filling an aperture in a plane wall which is in contact on one side with an otherwise unlimited mass of water. The following investigation, which includes some extensions, is now published by permission. To simplify the theoretical treatment, the wall is supposed to be rigid, and the plate to be firmly clamped to it along the circumference, although these conditions are only imperfectly fulfilled in practice. Even with these limitations an exact solution is out of the question, but a sufficient approximation can be obtained by Rayleigh’s method of an assumed type, which gives good results if the type be suitably chosen. It is known that the frequency estimated in this way will be somewhat too high.

If a thin elastic circular plate B: ∣z∣ < 1 is clamped (simply supported, respectively) along its edge ∣z∣ = 1, its deflection at z ∈ B under a point load at ζ ∈ B, measured positively in the direction of the gravitational pull, is the biharmonic Green's function β(z, ζ) of the clamped plate (γ(z, ζ) of the simply supported plate, respectively). We ask: how do β(z, ζ) and γ(z, ζ) compare with the corresponding deflections β0(z, ζ) and γ0(z, ζ) of the punctured circular plate B0: 0 < ∣ z ∣ < 1 that is “clamped” or “simply supported”, respectively, also at the origin? We shall show that γ(z, ζ) is not affected by the puncturing, that is, γ(·, ζ) = γ0(·, ζ), whereas β(·, ζ) is:on B0 × B0. Moreover, while β((·, ζ) is of constant sign, β0(·, ζ) is not. This gives a simple counterexmple to the conjecture of Hadamard [6] that the deflection of a clampled thin elastic plate be always of constant sign:The biharmonic Gree's function of a clampled concentric circular annulus is not of constant sign if the radius of the inner boundary circle is sufficiently small.Earlier counterexamples to Hadamard's conjecture were given by Duffin [2], Garabedian [4], Loewner [7], and Szegö [9]. Interest in the problem was recently revived by the invited address of Duffin [3] before the Annual Meeting of the American Mathematical Society in 1974. The drawback of the counterexample we will present is that, whereas the classical examples are all simply connected, ours is not. In the simplicity of the proof, however, there is no comparison.

If a circular plate has a concentric circular hot area, there is a critical temperature for this area at which the plate buckles. This temperature is calculated in this note for the case of a clamped plate supported in such a way that the radial stress in the cold part obeys the inverse square law.
