Abstract
Glass-steel and glass-aluminium circular plates—typical of lined container end-plates—are analysed for the large deflection regime using the Dynamic Relaxation (DR) method. A fairly comprehensive set of results for uniformly loaded simply supported and clamped edge conditions and for several combinations of the constituent materials are presented. These results demonstrate that the effect on the plate response of ‘extensional-flexural’ coupling, arising from the absence of through-thickness material symmetry, is often significant, particularly when the glass-steel composite is used.
