A circular flat plate of diameter 120 mm and thickness 10


Question - A circular flat plate of diameter 120 mm and thickness 10 mm is constructed from steel with E = 208 GN/m2 and v = 0.3. The plate is subjected to a uniform pressure of 5 MN/m2 on one side only. If the plate is clamped at the edges determine:

(a) the maximum deflection;

(b) the position and magnitude of the maximum radial stress.

What percentage change in the results will be obtained if the edge conditions are changed such that the plate can be assumed to be freely supported?
