Stress Distribution in a Plate of Non-uniform Thickness, subject to Non-Uniformly Distributed Transverse Load : (Case of Axial Symmetry) II.

Abstract

We take a circular plate of external radius R, its thickness being non-uniform and varying according to the law : h=h₀(R₁-r)/R₁, where R₁>R. The transverse load acting on this plate is distributed by a linear law : p=p₀(1+kr/R₁). Stress distribution in such a plate of non-uniform thickness and subject to non-uniformly distributed transverse load, has been calculated and the result was shown as numerical tables and curves.
