Abstract
This paper deals with the geometrically nonlinear axisymmetric static and transient response of moderately thick cylindrically orthotropic circular plates subjected to uniformly distributed and ring loads. Immovable clamped and simply supported annular plates with and without a rigid plug subjected to static and step function loads have been considered. Shear deformation and rotary inertia have been included. Orthogonal point collocation method and Newmark-β scheme have been employed to solve the differential equations expressed in terms of transverse displacement ω, shear rotation φ and stress function ψ. The effect of transverse shear has been investigated for isotropic and orthotropic plates. A simple approximate method has also been used to predict the maximum dynamic response to step loads from the results for static loads.
