Abstract

By use of classical plate theory complete analytical solutions are obtained for the bending of thin fibre-reinforced composite circular plates of radially varying thickness exhibiting rectangular orthotropy. The plate equations are solved for three specific cases of axisymmetric loading and boundary conditions. The solutions are presented in non-dimensional form. Numerical results are presented graphically for glass-epoxy composite plates.
