Abstract
This study deals with the geometrically nonlinear axisymmetric static and transient analysis of cylindrically orthotropic elastic thin tapered circular plates subjected to uniformly distributed and discrete central loads. Differential equations in terms of transverse displacement w and stress function ψ have been employed. The displacement w and stress function ψ are expanded in finite power series. The orthogonal point collocation method in space domain and Newmark-β scheme in time domain have been used. Step function dynamic loads are considered. Static and dynamic results have been presented for isotropic and orthotropic immovable clamped and simply supported plates with linearly varying thickness for three values of taper ratios and the effect of varying thickness has been investigated. A simple approximate method is used to predict the maximum dynamic response to step load from the results for static loads and is found to yield sufficiently accurate results.
