Abstract
This paper demonstrates the application of the annular finite element method to predicting the critical buckling loads of variable thickness discs. Provision is made in the analysis to accommodate discs made of materials exhibiting polar orthogonility. Results are compared with those obtained using altenative techniques for various cases of uniform isotropic and orthotropic specimens and variable thickness isotropic specimens.
