Unsymmetrical buckling of nonuniform circular plates with elastically restrained edge and subjected to normal pressure is studied in this paper. The asymmetric part of the solution is sought in terms of multiples of the harmonics of the angular coordinate. A numerical method is employed to obtain the lowest load value at which waves in the circumferential direction can appear. The effect of material heterogeneity and boundary on the buckling load is examined. For a plate with elastically restrained edge, the buckling pressure and mode number increase with a rise of spring stiffness. Increasing of the elasticity modulus to the plate edge leads to increasing of the buckling pressure, but the mode number does not change. If the translational flexibility coefficient is small, decreasing of the elasticity modulus to the shell (plate) edge leads to sufficient lowering of the buckling pressure.

The present study deals with the derivation of an exact solution for the problem of obtaining the natural frequencies of the vibration of circular plates weakened along an internal concentric circle due to the presence of a radial crack and elastically restrained along the outer edge of the plate against translation. The frequencies of the circular plates are computed for varying values of the elastic translational restraint, the radius of the radial crack, and the extent of the weakening duly simulated by considering the radial crack as a radial elastic rotational restraint on the plate. The results for the first six modes of the plate vibrations are computed. The effects of the elastic edge restraint, the radius of the weakened circle, and the extent of the weakening represented by an elastic rotational restraint on the vibration behavior of thin circular plates are studied in detail. The internal weakening due to a crack resulted in decreasing the fundamental frequency of the plate. The exact method of solution and the results presented in this paper are expected to be of specific use in analyzing the effect of a radial crack on the fundamental natural frequency of the circular plate in the presence of a translational restraint existing along the outer edge of the plate. These exact solutions can be used to check the numerical or approximate results.

Unsymmetrical buckling of nonuniform circular plates with elastically restrained edge and subjected to normal pressure is studied in this paper. The unsymmetric part of the solution is sought in terms of multiples of the harmonics of the angular coordinate. A numerical method is employed to obtain the lowest load value, which leads to the appearance of waves in the circumferential direction. The effect of material heterogeneity and boundary on the buckling load is examined. It is shown that if the outer edge of a plate is elastically restrained against radial deflection, the buckling load for unsymmetrical buckling is larger than for a plate with a movable edge. The elasticity modulus decrease away from the center of a plate leads to sufficient lowering of the buckling pressure if the outer edge can move freely in the radial direction.

SummaryFor uniform-thickness, solid circular plates made of isotropic elastic material and elastically restrained at the edge, expressions are derived for the optimum support stiffness to minimise the following quantities: 1.The largest effective stress based on several different strength theories.2.The largest effective stress per unit of maximum deflection or per unit volume displaced.
